GENERAL STUFF
It’s been a long time since I did I full
overview over my activities. Reason is simple: I become a daddy once again!!
\o/
Along with this new endeavor in my life, EVE
time became more limited and I took a break from making isk. Every time I had
available, I spent it trying to blow people off the sky. Considering I have
around 130 bil in assets, I won’t run out ships to waste in any recent future.
Hell, I just spent 15 bil buying 100 more Hull Brutix (can’t have enough of
those).
This being said, and having kept track on my
market activities for 3 years, it’s to let it go. I already know how much
profit I can make resorting to market and resorting to BPO research and how
many expenses I have. Unless I change my methodology drastically, I’ll have a
decent idea on how my operations are going, without the psychotic excel
crunching (that I enjoy nevertheless), but bigger priorities arise, and in EVE,
the hunt always takes precedence.
With Alpha Clones incoming, I hereby leave my general
operation guidelines to make ISK, mostly AFK, resorting to market and BPO
research, hoping it might be useful to someone:
MARKET OPERATIONS
1-
I
do Regional Trade. I buy in Jita Sell Orders and sell in Hek Sell Orders at an
NPC Station. I prefer to sell a low amount of items with large profit margins.
2-
I
use a Google Spreadsheet with Steve Ronuken script, in order to pull prices for
my “Trade Items List” from EVE Central site;
3-
My
“Trade Items List” consists in:
a. Capital Mods and Rigs
b. Implants
c. T3 Subsystems
d. POS Structures
e. STANDUP Structures
f.
Faction
Mods
g. T2 Medium and Large Rigs
4-
My
“Trade Items List” has around 600 items (it grew over time) and is only updated
if new profitable mods appear.
5-
I
heavily adjusted my Google Spreadsheet to sort by most potential profitable
Items and to define the quantity I need to buy from each item. This way I can copy/paste
the items I want to buy, and respective quantities, using the “Multibuy”
feature in EVE Market and buy up to 100 different items in less than 30 seconds;
6-
I
resupply the Hek Market once per week, usually before the weekend;
7-
All
hauling from Jita to Hek is done by Public contracts with 25 million reward and
2 billion collateral. All get fulfilled in less than 24 hours;
8-
I
update my Sell Orders in Hek once every 2-3 days. I don’t have any buy orders
in Jita or Hek
9-
I
use the program “Evernus” to update orders very quicky. Long story short, using
this program one only needs to use a keyboard shortcut to copy/paste prices
into EVE.
10-
In
order to track my market profits I use the site “Eve-Mogul”.
11-
I
have 2 market toons in Hek, with a total of around 450 Sell Orders waiting to
be fulfilled.
PLEXAURUM OPERATIONS
I trade PLEX, Skill Injectors or Skill
Extractors in a really casual basis, and are an exception to my normal Market
Operations.
1-
I
buy PLEX, Skill Injectors and Skill Extractors using Buy Orders in a private Citadel
in Hek and sell them at the same private Citadel.
LOW TIER BLUEPRINT OPERATION
1-
I
have 4 toons with 10 research slots each (total of 40 slots) researching BPOs
or copying BPCs, permanently (or as much as “permanently” possible).
2-
All
research is done in one hi-sec small POS, in range from my toons positions.
3-
I
research a list of around 400 BPOs, mostly low tier T1 mods (High, Medium and
Low ship slots) and low tier Capital BPOs.
4-
I
prefer to research a large spectrum of BPOs and hardly buy more than couple
repeated BPOs. Diversity over quantity.
5-
All
hauling is done by public contracts.
6-
All
BPOs are sold at Jita, using Corporation Contracts from the Corp Assets Deliveries
hangar.
CITADELS BLUEPRINT OPERATION
Once Citadels came out, I bought an Astrahaus
Citadel BPO and a bunch of Citadel Mods (known as STANDUP Mods) for a total of
13 billion.
1- Astrahaus Citadel is still being
researched at NPC Null Station in Curse Region, and between research jobs, BPCs
are generated to provide some extra isk.
2- Citadel Mods have all been
researched to level 7/14 and are stored in a Station in Hi-Sec. When needed
BPCs are generated and hauled to Jita by public contracts.
The whole Citadel Blueprint Operation is a long
term experiment to see how long I’ll take to make a profit over the 13 billion investment.
For this experiment I’m only considering “profit” the revenues from BPC sales
and not the innate valorization of a researched BPO.
CONCLUSION
If you haven’t kept track of my previous blog
posts, I can make between 7-10 bil profit per month, after considering all sort
of expenses, while spending an average of 15 minutes per day. It’s a pretty
good feeling to wake up in morning, check your wallet and
see you’ve grown space richer during your well-deserved sleep… considering one
of your kids didn’t woke up several times that is.
I’ll continue posting some PVP adventures when
possible, but as far as trading goes, I really have nothing new to offer, so
I’m pulling the plug. Hope you enjoyed reading that aspect of my EVE career and
thanks for all the support I received from other folks interested in the market
aspect!
See ya, and get off my trade hub! :D
