Quite straight forward. How did you all spend your first few months in Eve?
As a new player I'm quite interested to see what other things I could be doing instead of windowing my game and going semi-afk mining in high-sec to scrap up some ISK.
Alternatively, what are different tasks other than mission running, station trading, and mining which I could be doing to get some ISK in my wallet? Need to get some of those 10M+ skillbooks. |

Joined a corp that would help with cheap stuff (ships/skillbooks) while I did frigate pvp.
The amount of ISK you can make as a new player is so low its not even worth it. Make friends who dont mind sharing. |

I spent a lot of my initial time in game trying to run haulers full of Antibiotics out of lowsec, to sell at profit in hisec. The NPC Antibiotics inserted into the market were (likely still are) much cheaper than in hisec. I learned loads about lowsec and scouting and using the map and also quite a lot about sucking it up and carrying on when the basket that looked exactly the right size for exactly all your eggs turns out to be not a basket at all, but a smouldering chunk of fail floating off into the cold reaches of space...
Soon i discovered mission running, did that until it became boring (not long) then moved into a wormhole with some other newbie friends. Hilarity ensued as the four of us learned about the game, wormholes and more fail together.
I mostly remember just how massive and scary the EvE universe seemed. Full of danger and people trying to screw you over at every turn. I genuinely miss that feeling these days, since as with anything fear is reduced by understanding.
Don't rush to be a bitter-vet too soon :) that feeling of being a tiny fish in a pond full of sharks is one of the best parts of EvE for me :)
Get in touch by mail or PM if i'm logged in, i'll be happy to help with anything you may have trouble with or just help you find someone to fly with. <- cus that's important around these parts

As a I vet I will tell you what I wish I had done my first month instead of what I did. You can fumble around like a deaf man in the dark just as well if not better than I did back then however I have some experience with the game now that can help you.
You should take advantage of this time in the game to try different things out. Minning is far from the best isk per hour in game and some would say near the worst isk per time frame in game. I'm not saying don't mine if you like minning do it I'm just saying if you are only doing it for the isk that is a dumb idea.
I would say that doing some kind of NPC combat like mission running or ratting is a good way to get familiar with basic ship piloting and combat as well as ship fitting. Learn how to fit a ship then learn about gunnery so that you can know both how to apply damage and how to avoid damage being applied to you. Play around with those mechanics a bit until you feel comfortable then maybe try some PvP.
You could also try out some exploration and see how the scanning life works for you. Then try out some various kinds of trade and if the industrial thing interests you then you could give manufacturing a try. Once you've found what aspects of the game appeal most to you then figure out how to make decent isk doing that.
If you just try to go after the isk then the game will quickly turn into a job and you won't be around long. So play around with the game and enjoy it or just quit now. If you are chasing after a pay check your time would be better spent working an hour of overtime to pay for a PLEX to fund your activites rather than spending hour after hour "working" for isk in game. |

I'm not experienced at it but I've seen multiple videos of people showing how to make millions of isk per hour on less than day old toons farming faction warfare PLEXs. I'm not saying that this is fun nor the thing to do I'm just saying that what you say here is not exactly acurate.
Yes in anything that you want to run solo and involves either minning or PvE combat the skill points can dramatically increase isk per hour potential up to a point anyway. (once you can fully T2 fit more skill points doesn't help all that much). However there are ways to make good isk solo as a new player and even more ways to make good isk in groups where you are carrying your own weight and not being "carried" like in other games. |

Fail = experience. If you want to become good at eve you'll need to make friends with taking your lumps in the school of hard knocks. If this sounds fun and exciting to you then you'll fit right in here. If you are looking for an instant win button or are going to try and minimize losses then it's likely you won't enjoy this game all that much. |

That's one thing which attracted me to this game. There is no "win button", I really enjoy games which make you learn through face planting repeatedly. |

I spent my first few months in the game watching my corp slowly fall apart due to ganking and wardecs. It was a great learning experience but I don't recommend making this same mistake. My first word of advice to you is to seek out a good corporation that knows how to deal with and fend off hostilities. Don't worry if the corp you like is outside of highsec. Many areas outside of highsec are actually in effect much safer and friendly for newbies.
ISK wise it really depends on your goals. Mining and mission running are fairly low income. If you want to make ISK passively your best options are trading and manufacturing. Manufacturing scales nicely as you add more alts to your experience. If you want to make ISK actively you have a few more options. Incursions, faction warfare missions and high rated sites all provide a pretty penny.

My first few months were spent mission running with the occasional side of mining. I joined a corp and did what I could to help. I made most of my early isk writing for other people's websites. I never became rich but that was never my goal.
That is kind of important, learning what is possible in the game and choosing a goal within the known or setting a goal nobody has ever tried or achieved before. Win by your rules, your goals.

Spent my first few months maxing out my training skills. I salvaged for friends because that was all I could do and it was very profitable back then. Did the occasional missions here and there. |

Let me preface my reply by noting, 1) I'm a woman, 2) this is my first MMO, and 3) I had only played one other computer game.
So, I was really a newb.
Luckily, I found a good corp. And while I was finishing up the SOE arc, I started looking around for something to do. A goal. My corp was based around tourism, yes. tourism, and taught nullsec survival. So I opened up the map one day, looking for inspiration, and saw the word Curse.
My fate was sealed. I would go to Curse.
I posted here on the forums asking for advice, and started planning.
At two months and one week, I went to Curse in an Atron. During the journey, I was attacked by drones, got caught in a bubble, attacked by gate campers, chased all through Great Wildlands. and made it all the way to Curse. Where I loitered, looking for someone to kill me, because obviously I couldn't kill anyone with my Atron. I mean, afterall, I was too young, too helpless, too unskilled. I was fresh meat waiting to be slaughtered, and I couldn't find anyone in Curse with the decency (or indecency) to kill me. And I loitered! (This last is punctuated by a footstamp!)
Heck, I would have kicked a station, if I could have, to get someone to pay attention to me.
Well, I was incensed! I got on corp chat, found some corpies to verify that I was actually in this infamous place called Curse, which was turning out to be terribly boring, by this point in time, and asked what I should do.
Numerous suggestions were put forward, but we settled on a bet.
I would auto-pilot out. Of Curse.
I set my auto-pilot to my starter system, and hit the button. And waited.
Various bets had been proposed. I would be shot down in five jumps, seven jumps, etc.
My corpies and I held our collective breath and watched the map, and waited. And waited. And waited.
Those low life Curse residents didn't even have the decency to shoot me as I auto-piloted home to my starter system. LOL.
We had a great time in corp chat that night discussing just how many gate campers, gankers, and soloists watched little ole two month old me, with pity in their black hearts, auto-pilot home, probably laughing themselves silly at the notion of a newb auto-piloting out of Curse.
And it was wonderful! I had a great time. I had gone to Curse AND gotten back!
That did it, I was bitten by the travel bug, and I haven't stopped since. I circumnavigated New Eden at six months. I've been to about two-thirds on New Eden's systems, and I intend to see them all. Oh, sure, I lose a ship every now and again, but then....
....... I just build a better one.

I joined eve uni during my first month of gameplay (not to be confused with my first month of being born) and began to learn how the game worked. I salvaged for some guys doing their epic arcs for isk and made a small fortune (for a new player). I was also killed very early by some wardeccers and subsequently spent the next several months fleeting up with every anti war target fleet that happened while I was online earning myself 2 medals for being in the top 10 defenders of the uni. This was perhaps the most fun I had in eve to date with the possible exception of evicting care bears from wh space
In closing I recommend hooking up with a good newbro corp and getting into the game with that leg up.

I don't remember how long it took me to run the career missions and the blood stained stars arc but after that I found a pvp corp that was currently under war dec. It was fun but mostly out of my time zone so I joined RvB a few weeks later. I found RvB to be a good learning experience but too impersonal for me so I found a small corp that was about to move to npc null, syndicate. Those were some really good guys. They helped me with isk, taught me how to pvp in null, wormholes, low sec... I stayed with them and every corp I have been in since was built by a few members of that corp. We formed a core crew by playing against the odds.
That was a bit rambling. I apologize.
What I really focused on was small gang pvp. I flew cheap with a handful of good pilots who could show me the ropes and I always hit "loot all". By the time I lost a cruiser I usually had enough loot and scraps saved up to replace it. |

EvE is my first MMO, I came from the X series so felt quite familiar, single player wise, in 2013. I did a bit of everything, mining (not so much), production (not so much), wh ninja gas mining, ninja salvaging, exploration and finally most of the time mission running to boost my standings. I have to say that I started with 400m from the buddy program, so ISK was not the main concern. During that time I trained up my skills for PvP and frigs, and I died the first time in lowsec seeking for PvP ... but killed an older and better equipped player the second time ... from that moment I was hooked to PvP and consequently pursue that path - to become good solo and useful in fleets.
I'm my own NPC alt.

After I did the career agents I did a little bit of mining and security missions for 2-3 weeks until I joined a NullSec corp/alliance. In NullSec I did nothing but mine for a couple weeks or even longer because with about 1m Skillpoints I couldn't do any PVE that involved rats of some kind. I joined a couple (but not too many) little roams, too. But all this mining was getting quite boring after a couple weeks and I jump-cloned to highsec for a week to do some exploration which I really liked. After some experience with highsec/lowsec/WH exploration I jumped back to NullSec and I'm doing exploration there since then (I'm still in the first couple month of my eve life).
In a couple weeks I might be able to fly and fit the ships needed for the more serious fleets down there. I think I'll stay with exploration as my main ISK source and use the ISK to get blown up. |

My first few weeks were tutorial missions, and the Sisters of Eve epic arc. I took a short break from the game, maybe 2 weeks and when I got back, my corp was abandoned because of a wardec. So I started my own exploration corporation, the first signature I scanned was a wormhole from Lanngsi directly to Aridia.
Knowing nothing about the other side, thought maybe I could move all my assets there and try to discover the region.
Been that way since. Moving to different parts of the galaxy, throwing all my assets tbrough each time, selling off what I don't need. For ISK I try to find escalations. So far my best luck is in Sansha and Serpentis. When I was in Aridia I couldn't find any 3/10's but 4 and 5/10's I would share their locations with the locals and I ended up joining them.
I live in Dodixie now. Going on over 3 months in already. The only mining I do anymore is ice and that's to raise money for my allice
If I had listened to that corp that dodged wardecs and ran level fours all day I wouldn't have been here still.

I joined a corp with a bunch of real life friends. They had all been playing for three to six months when I joined. We had a headquarters in Blamestone. They were mostly running missions in Sinq Laison and mining in Everyshore. They helped me out with some implants and a few million ISK and pointed me towards missions. I ran missions in my Tristan, then my Catalyst, then a Thorax, then a Myrmidon.
Somewhere along the way I tried to run a Level 3 mission in Eggehelende, but lost my Myrmidon to a gate camp. The "evil pirates" told me how I had screwed up, threw me a few million ISK, and asked me if I would like to join them. Sadly, I declined and went back to mission running. It was a good experience for a first ship loss.
After about three-four months of running missions, we got wardecced by a small corp. I now know that it was probably one dude (Eug316) and his out of corp alt. He liked to use a Navy Apoc and a Navy Raven, with an out-of-corp off-grid booster. He could fly more different ships than I even knew existed. He also had out-of-corp scout characters. He killed one or two of us, including me in my salvage Catalyst. Due to some lag, his Wolf also caught my pod and I learned the hard way about keeping your clone up to date (that was one good change in the past few years). That first pod loss still stings to this day. Lots of grinding for those +4's.
Then we brawled with his Navy Apoc on a station in Blamestone. We had him in low structure when he managed to dock up. We did not know that he had deaggressed, or that it was even possible to deaggress. Our knowledge of game mechanics was miserable. Then, he undocked with full cap and full everything and killed two-three of us. We read up on Eve PVP and managed to catch and kill him in a Myrmidon. Felt pretty good about that! Then, unfortunately, it all fell apart. Half the corp wanted to keep fighting him. The other half thought it was horribly unfair that this player with tons more SP and ISK than we had could pick on us like this. We tried to reason with them - tried to explain that in Eve you had to fight for your right to exist. They maintained that we should all just log off for a week. Or drop corporation and dodge the war dec.
In the end, it tore our corporation apart. Three people quit and went back to their previous games. Six logged off for a week and resumed playing for a few more months. Three of us went looking for a corporation in 0.0. I'm not sure how he picked it, but my friend Jim chose Intrepid Crossing. And so, within six months I found myself moving to Etherium Reach. Two months later, I was leading fleets...
Since then, it's been a long list of adventures and mishaps, but eight years later, I still love this game...
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. So, why do I post here?
I'm stubborn.

I hate everyone here who did not spend the first 6 months training learning skills. That said when choosing something to do, don't worry about isk/hr. Heckler, if your bored just stop by udema, niarja or any other trade hub pipe and scoop loot. Those systems usually have suicide gankers. Just pop open the wreck take a peek. If there's anything worthwhile, align to a gate, loot all and hit warp. Easily done in a rookie ship with no loss.
Not terrible effective isk/hr but it's costs nothing and you'd be suprised at what you find. The point is, you can do almost anything in eve you want, so take a dive and find out. If you earn isk, cool. If not oh well at least you had fun. If you didn't have fun or earn ism, well now you know. |

My first month and a half ish were spent doing most of the tutorials and some of the SOE arc. When I figured out missioning wasn't really for me and I felt like I had a good grasp on how things worked in terms of the UI, I jumped into exploration. I enjoyed that for about a month but eventually I got tired of that but I learned good lessons such as how to use D-scan(and also not to ignore it!). But I didn't like inconsistent loot and how I could go days without finding anything worth while. Being that PVP was, and I guess still is, new to me I jumped into Faction Warfare and I haven't looked back since. I love it. It is by no means a perfect system but it's a great ISK maker for a PVP habit. |
