I had no idea how the whole attribute thing works, so I avoided implants all together until I just found out that they can help increase skill training time..
Do they decrease the time it takes a lot or just a little? |

for short learning skills over a short time, not really. They really start to shine on the very long skills and over a longer period of time. Some skills that take months to learn can be reduced by a full week or so. Do enough skills like that and the time you save adds up.

Could implants reduce the training time of say..A four day skill to around one day? |

No mate i'm afraid not. Adding 5 points to perception and 3 to willpower (implants and remap) i lost 4 or 5 days off Advanced Weapon Upgrades 5. 29 days down to 24 is a really good reduction, but cutting 75% off a skill time is a bit much to expect.

Get yourself some +3's for a non-combat clone when you can and +4 when you can afford it. While not dramatically they do help significantly. FIRE FRIENDSHIP TORPEDOES ! Louis's epic skill guide v1.1 |

With default attributes +5 implants in both primary and secondary will increase training speed by 25%, with optimized attributes with 18.6% "Memories are meant to fade. They're designed that way for a reason." |

My advice: don't bother with implants if you intend to PvP. Skill points aren't super-relevant there, and the implants are not worth the added stress to not get podded , particularly when are learning how to PvP in cheap frigates.
Otherwise, if you have a training clone for long absences, or plan to never be shot at by anything that would pod you, definitely go for learning implants.

This is good advice, though it depends a bit on how much ISK you have to throw around. Personally, I run with a full set of +4s in highsec (I could get 5s, but the extra 400M just doesn't seem worth it to me). For PvP, I run with a pair of +3s in whatever I'm currently training, since I wouldn't really notice the 20M loss if I lose a pair of +3s.
So, use whatever ones you can afford to lose and shrug off the loss of. implants do cut down on training time, but you don't want to be financially crippled by the loss of them either, especially if you're PvPing. |

Other small tip if you like to PvP:
Get jumpclones. Slap on one clone perception and willpower implants only and on another memory and intelligence.
Now when you train ship or gunnery skills which require perc and will you hop to that clone. If you get podded you lose only 2 implants instead of 4. Same when you train engineering or mechanic skills which require int and mem.
You can even set up several clones for various trainingstyles so you can maximise you training that way while keeping losses low incase of a podkill.

You also need some combat thingy enhancing implants. they'll make the difference between ganker and gankee |

What Plunderbunny means is hardwires. Those are nice but at the first stages where you lose a lot easier and get podkilled easier due to not knowing all mechanics yet they are just extra cost.

Bad advice: If you're pvping a lot, make sure you have a focused skill plan and plug in the 2 +3s for the skill you are currently training. You don't lose your pod as often as you think and if you do, not having a head full of them, 3 of which you don't use helps ease on the wallet. |

20 Million isk (cost of +3's) every time you get podded is a stupid idea for a new player, and if you are pvping a LOT you will be podded semi-regularly. Once you have the experience to replace +3's easily, chances are you are only then training skills long enough for them to make a major difference anyway :P

Get +3 Implants as fast as you can
Get +4 Implants when you can afford them
Get +5 Implants when you have isk to burn
...regardless, +3 at a minimum will SAVE you lots of time in the long run!!! http://youtu.be/PY8fjFKAC5k |

Just a tip from a fellow newbie, if you do decide to go implants don't just look on the market - if you run missions regularly from same station, or for same npc corp, you build up loyalty points. Check the LP store in the station you've been running missions from and you can, not always, get them cheaper than market - just stuck my first +3 in this way, just over 5mill if remember right.

No. But they might reduce 2 days from your 22 days queued skill.
The thing is that it all ADDS up. 2 days here, 10 hours there...it's a helluva lot of time per year. |

Simple math can tell you the answer you're looking for.
You start with a base 17 points in each of the 5 attributes. You then have 14 bonus points which you can (but shouldn't until you understand exactly what you're doing) reassign via Neural Remap (once/year), with a max of +10 to any one attribute. This means that your attributes have a base range of 17-27. Implants can add between +1 and +5.
Your skill points go up linearly based on your attributes. (X + Y/2) points per minute, where X is the skill's primary attribute and Y is the skill's secondary attribute.
Assuming you're using the initial neural map (20/20/20/20/19) and a non-charisma skill, both your primary and secondary attributes for your current skill in training will be 20, for a total skill point gain of (20 + 20/2) 30/min, or 1800/hour.
If you plug in +4 implants to both your primary and secondary, your skill point gain rate will increase to (24 + 24/2) 36/min or 2160/hour, which is a 20% increase. This means that each skill takes (1/1.2) 83% as long to train. So that 4 day (96 hour) skill will take 3 days 8 hours (80 hours) to complete.
Implants definitely help and add up in the long run, but so do neural remaps. Download Evemon and make a skill plan, you'll be glad you did.
IMO At a minimum you should always have at least +1 implants in your head for any skill you'll be training in the reasonably near future. They're dirt cheap, particularly the charisma and perception +1 implants, which are rewards from the career agent missions. |

The long story short here is YES IMPLANTS ARE GOOD.
Any reduction in skill training time short or long means more skills trained over time.
I only dont use them or use them sparingly because I might get podded at any point and time and implants look bad on killmails. Noir. and Noir Academy are recruiting apply at www.noirmercs.comI Noir Academy: 60 days old must be able to fly at least one tech II frigate. I Noir.

You won't get this big a decrease in training times on such a short training time, but for long skill plans over weeks or months you will see a significant decrease. Learning implants are a long term investment, so the cheaper implants, +2s and +3s are better for short term skill plans.
