Ok so I've been playing for a few months and have just broke the 1 bil mark in my wallet. I've gotten this chunk by trading and hauling. Just wondering what you all did when your wallet grew to this size for the first time?
I'm thinking about buying a freighter but then I wouldnt have much capital left for buying trade goods.. just stick it out a little longer and go that route or what?

i would set-up a high-sec pos and start making copy for invent; make sure you start with the must profitables t2 stuff; but watch-out check the volume of trade and cost. good luck

QFT. There's a *lot* you can get out of your three characters. With Dusk Blade soon hitting the (reasonable) roof of it's production capabilities, I'm left wondering what I can do to expand the business. There's a lot of options, and the best option is to spread out. Remember, your character can be copying, researching, manufacturing and ratting/mining all at the same time, and all these activities have distinctive skill branches and ingame requirements.

You've been playing for 5 months and only now achieved your first 1b? Wow, man, if your main profession in Eve is trading, then you should really change your ways of trading, 'cause you're probably doing something wrong... Honestly, drop trading with the trade goods and start with minerals, ships, modules or whatever. And certainly go try out Jita, as it is the main money-hub.

Took me almost 1 year to make much more than 100 million isk.
It's irrelevant how much time passed before he reached the 1 billion isk mark. What's relevant is how much time he devoted to reaching that 1 billion isk mark.

Way to not only be an ass, but an ignorant one.
Just because he's been in game for 5 months hardly means he's been trading that long. He could have started doing that a month ago. Or a week ago. He could have started a trial account, played for a month, had other more pressing things to do, and is just coming back now. Lots of different possibilies.
A little advice doesn't hurt, but there's really no need to give the guy grief because he's not among the big trading names of this forum like yo... er... who are you? ------ Revolution. The only solution. |

Asses aside, diversification agreed with.
Once you get to 1B it's a good point to start looking at the security of your overall position, as opposed to how much a single endeavor can make you. Congrats! You've more or less entered the stage where you can start bludgeoning smaller traders about the head with your available capital, and make money simply through the virtue of having money.

I bought some ships and stopped earning ISK for some time and blew it up. Srsly that's what i did with my first bil.
You should try to find better more profitable ways of trading and think how this capital can be useful to you in finding these ways. What good is a freighter if you don't have a plan as to how it's going to pay you back? Come up with some plan, try out something different, you also got a nice ISK cushion now that you can afford to take more risks.

I always find it curious that everyone can't wait to get a freighter, as if a freighter is some magical money making device without even stopping to think how they'd use it.

Agreed, I do cap ship manufacturing and fuel 8 Large POS's as well as a fairly large T2 component production ring and still question whether i really need to 'own' one.

A freighter and some backup quickly turn 1b into 10b. A week or two, at an hour or two each day. More and faster if you studied the market well.

I made my first billion in a speed fitted T1 frigate, upgraded to an interceptor and am now flying a speed-tuned interdictor for quite some while. I see others prefering faction frigates, that also seems to be working ok.
Hauling is not trading, I don't get why people insist on making money by truck driving with a freighter when there is so much profit in buying and reselling stuff in same station.

I can tell you what *not* to do with it. Don't go spend it all on something that you can't replace if it gets blown up.

That's about enough capital to get into cruiser and selective mod construction with a forward eye toward battlecruiser construction. Figure .6 bil for the bpos, 250mil for a working stock in minerals, and you should be able to expand at a 15%+ clip in the short term, and double that within a month or two. Since you appear to be empire-based, that would also give you focus on what next to train, and exposure to missions for standign if you haven't gone there already.
