EVE Online - How to make a Skill farming Alt

[@Aceyface]

This video has nothing to do with whether or not skillpoint farming is profitable or not. I am just showing how I make a skillpoint alt to get as much skillpoints as possible in shortest amount of time possible.

[@budderhoernla6354]

You could save even more ISK setting the farm up if you only buy the 2 implants to boost the primary and secondary attribute of the skills your training - given that you already chose the skills to have the same primary/secondary attributes!

[@WarpingWombat]

I tried this and the time went up from 400 something days to over 500. Are you really sure about perception and willpower? EveMon says i should optimize to Intelligence and Memory

[@earnestemu5148]

@@WarpingWombat Evemon is probably using whats in your skill queue. Fill the queue with skills that have the same primary and secondary attribute. Need to check them as things like advanced space ship skills are not the same as the basic ones, ie assault ships won't have the same primary attribute as battle cruiser or bs. I just use bc5 and bs 5 for my skill farms. attributes are the same and I only have 2 plus 5+. Been doing it for many years.

[@WarpingWombat]

@@earnestemu5148 ah ok ty. Yeah i remapped according top the Plan of Ace face . So you learn frigate, Cruiser, Battlecruiser and Battleship all Up to Level 5 with all the prerequisites?

[@earnestemu5148]

@@WarpingWombat Not sure what prereq were. But if you doing this to skill farm you need cybernetics 5 for the 2 x plus 5 implants and then train the skills you are mapped for. I find it easier to use perception/willpower as you have all the T1 ships plus gunnery and missiles to choose from. Generally in a month you can do BC5 plus a little something else. Then all you do is extract the bc5 and put it back in the queue. That way you only need 1 race skills, dont need frig, dest or cruiser to 5.

[@WarpingWombat]

@@earnestemu5148 ahhh OK got it :D then i'll guess i will remap again

[@dg-gaming942]

Quick suggestion: when making a brand new toon, you can buy a cheap "prototype cerebral accelerator" for like 20 mil that lasts 14 days (or 28 if biology 5) and adds 9 points to all attributes

[@StaK_1980]

Yeah, you should do it, but in the long run, it doesn't add a lot.

[@TomPVideo]

13.5 SP/minute is nothing to sneeze at. It works out to around 275K SP, or double that if you inject or train biology 5 (only an x1) before popping the booster. It represents 10% of the SP needed to start extracting skills.

[@crazysonorangaming]

(This is more for the posters below who doubt it can be profitable) I've been plexing 3 to 6 accounts with skill trading alone since skill extractors/injectors were added to the game. When I first started it the isk was insane. I was plexing more than one account with only one farmer account. Now I can plex an account with 1 pilot per account but dont make a profit. With 3 pilots on an account I can profit 500m per month. This is -IF- I do things right. +5 implants, max stats in the appropriate places, and buy and sell on the best of buy or sell orders (or the New Eden Store). Consider that each hub may be different. Some will net you more isk than others, some profitable some not. Bottom line is even if I only make enough isk this way to buy 475 plex that is 475 plex less I have to buy at the end of the month to play essentially free.

[@dezkoleman800]

First: you haven't used alpha time to skilled up to 5 mln skill points, so you overinvested. Secondly: you are remapping intelligence and memory because you will only use them for farming, so no implants are needed for the rest of the attributes - 450 mln isk lost. Thirdly: farming skill points are currently unprofitable, only to significantly reduce the cost of running another omega account.

[@shantilus]

I think it is clear that he knows this give his other videos. That being said, your comment, although critical, is beneficial to people thinking of skill farming.

[@maggoteye87]

Thank you !

[@somebodyintheworld5036]

I feel like you could optimize this even more. You can't extract skill points below 5 Million SP. IIRC, 5 million is about what you need to get a Planetary Industry alt. You can first train the toon into a PI alt, then plug in perception and memory and train nothing but Spaceship Command skills. That way you can do PI and make some extra money, and you also have access to certain ship hulls (although no modules) if you want to swap the skill farm toon into a proper alt that will fly proper ships. The alt must be omega, so you may as well run PI on it and multibox in highsec so you don't get podded. If you just want skill farm, thats fine, just extract the Spaceship command skills. Train up to Marauders V, and extract everything back down. This way, you have some more flexibility.

[@aesh78]

5.5m actually. You cannot extract if your character is below that

[@byronmangan]

Ive been running the numbers on tech 2 invention and production. Very profitable if you decide to use those skills one day.

[@Something.Something]

What you're not mentioning is that to get 5,500,000 SP you need to train almost 3 months if you start from zero (using improved implants only). 500,000 SP takes about 8 days, so in 1 month you can only fill about 3 or 4 large injectors. To get 14 large injectors like in your video, someone would need to train for more than 3.5 months on top of the time needed to get the initial 5,500,000 SP (Max training speed without accelerators is 64,800 SP/day), so more than 6 months training (and paying). Or am I missing something?

[@seven9766]

You could train up to 5 million as alpha, then inject that million bonus points you get for using a referral link, boosting you above 5.5m Sure, it'll take longer, but it will not cost as much.

[@m.adnansohail1656]

another little idea i just came up with is that you can use remap, every new character have 3 remaps 1 yearly and 2 bbonus remap, so if its a farming character we can remap the attributes to a specific category making the training fastest by only training the specific category skills, like spaceship command, gunnery which actually have a very big max skill points. which on the top of that also have same attributes.

[@gagizagi]

He does that in the video tho

[@JustinKettenhofen]

So is the point to dump the skill injectors to your main for beefing up skills or for making passive ISK to convert to plex to get Omega for either main or this account? Just curious what you do with your injectors

[@Taz6688]

Pointless to do that, the more skill point you have the less you get when injecting, I call this fake, he said he remapped to speed training, last shot shows 4 skills at 28 and one at 27, no remap there for max training, it only works out profitable because he used plex to buy injectors, probably from referral perks

[@sanik9581]

what is the TLDR here?

[@basho345]

I tried to download the Skill plan you reference in the video. It is not available :(

[@FrankieDiazabraxas]

I can't do that to an alt. It's too cruel, to have him/her study up, get knowledgeable, then suck the marrow. "It's a toon! Harden the eff up!", I can hear. It's still cruel.

[@leroybrown640]

Hey buddy, is this skill point plan still available? I appreciate this vid was 2 years ago..

[@TheFlightsimNerd]

Dumb question, how do I add an alt and Eve whenever I go to add account on the launcher? It just brings me in an infinite loop at the Eve website and won't let me add another alt. No clue what's going on. Thanks for the help

[@TheCwpan]

I have a question :) I have 3 accounts, not played EVE in a very long time, I dont plan to use at least 1 alt, he has 62M SP is it worth buying Omega, and Extractors to suck my character down to 5.5m sp? and use the remaining omega time with its +5 implants to learn your skills + remap for the rest of the 30days? Im not too lazy to find out Im just not very good at maths :D

[@kuroitenshi1632]

You can do that. You will get some 70bil?maybe

[@TheCwpan]

Cheers, cos I think it cost me like 1.5b to plex and will cost 300m plus per extractor so will be a lot less 😭

[@CheGevarich]

[@MrKythor]

Ace can you explain why this is better than just buying the injectors outright? Considering the cost of an omega account, the extractors, etc.

[@grcfalcon]

I suppose the end goal is not to use the injectors. He wants to sell them and pay for the plex for the character to continue as omega.

[@Taz6688]

It's not Eve is PTW now just use your card and cut all this out.

[@collinmiller6648]

I am also confused as to why this process nets any advantage over just buying the skillpoint injectors (full) rather than buying the empty extractors with PLEX, and then taking over two-three months of Omega training time in the form of SP to then sell back on the market for ISK? It seems like either a waste of money or a waste of time. And if you needed more skills faster, then you could just buy the full injectors from the market using ISK or PLEX...right? I don't quite get it either, same as a few other commenters.

How long does it take from 5000 sp to 12000sp with skilled cybernetics and such implants/remapping?

[@craigkirich9646]

Save the implant costs past 2, use boosters when available, daily login bonus and there's many other choices i.e. Blueprints, manufacturing, reactions, mining, gate scout, abyss lookout (cloaked and combat ready) use that alt.

[@nzbeeker1]

I bought some skill injectors and applied them... many of the skills I already had have gone now and have to retrain them... what's up with that?

[@FloridaGecko]

So, you used extractors, not injectors.... You sucked out skill points, which causes those skills to need retraining again

[@nzbeeker1]

@@FloridaGecko Yup.... 😕

[@queotzcatl3980]

it could be profitable only using Alpha skills, maybe you could make an alternative Skill farm map? Looks good but I would not invest an Omega unless I'd really need those skill points for my main as you probably do.

[@sbssmachine1]

You can only extract from a toon with more than 5.5m sp. alphas max at 5m unless you’re using daily injectors. You have to go omega to make it viable.

[@chessblunderer898]

Alpha's are capped at 5 million SP. Theoretically, I suppose you could train up to 5M and then redeem the free 1M SP and make 1 large skill extractor and then that account is done. So, you could make a new account every day and ~5 months later, start extracting 1 large skill injector per day, every day, for free.

[@sbssmachine1]

@@chessblunderer898 can’t even do that, if you’ve claimed the 1m sp it’s counted towards the 5m whether you’ve used it or not

The only implants you need are for memory and intelligence... the other attributes have nothing to do with skill training speed.

[@taxa1569]

No... Each skill has a primary and secondary attribute that both affect how long the skill takes to train. It was said in the video. And it has been this way for over 15 years if not the entire lifetime of the game. Source: I have been playing since 2k7.

[@dougunderwood2313]

I'm curious...You can't train an Alpha character beyond 5 mil skill points so this alt of yours must be a paid Omega account to get to 10 mil skill points. No matter how you pay for it it would just seem cheaper to buy the injectors. Second is the fact that you have to buy the skill extractors with real money. 40 bucks for 10 so 5 mil skill points cost 40 bucks plus training an Omega character to 11 or so mil skill points. I simply train all of my characters with implants and remaps as I train a certain group in waves to take advantage of the remap. There is no way I'd pay what it takes here to get 5 mil skill points added to another character.

[@Aceyface]

Nono you can get 21 mil sp as an alpha clone but the remaining 16 mil is able to be trained with alpha injector or omega time

[@dougunderwood2313]

@@Aceyface then I must have my facts wrong.

[@dougunderwood2313]

@@Aceyface After further investigation I must once again claim that with an alpha character you can only obtain 5 mil skill points without spending money. You can buy Omega, but the cost is ridiculous considering you must then obtain the maximum skill points for the one month the Omega cost you in real dollars or plex. The alpha injector once again will cost. You cannot train an alpha clone beyond 5 mil skill points without cost in real money or isk. The best option I see is buying the alpha skill injectors and then the extractors which will cost you about 5.75 dollars per 500,000 skill points. Inject then extract. It's not overly expensive, but most people don't like spending real money.
