5000 isk/lp is apparently impossible yet anyone who wants to can currently make this. Its all the players who have decided it can't be done which makes it possible as competition would reduce returns. Ie a reduction in profit not going to happen anytime soon!
Lets pick Jita buy prices as I'm viewing in-game currently. There are better but I'll use them as instructions. Highest buy price currrently.
- 119 tags at 181,000 each = 21.539 mil.
- 79 tas 502,000 each = 39.658 mil
- isk directly spent = 10.8 mil
- components 0.5 mil
---------
72.5 mil cost to trade in 27,000 lp
I'm paying less than this myself as Jita prices aren't cheap.
How much does this trade-in for? Again using Jita prices, lowest sell price currently:
- 235 mil
235 mil - 72.5 mil = 162.5. Call it 160 mil as is some trading fees.
thats 5926 isk/lp.
If your like some of the above, need 2 hands, a map, and instructions to find your own backside, then I can see how hard to make 5000 isk/lp could be. If even when given a map, you can't see lp has value, then nothing will. Bounties have value, but lp has a lot of value which mission farming misses out on.
The thing is, like you say yourself, if more people start trading their LP for these sekrit items that yield insane isk/LP (and personally I am occasionally cashing in at 9K per LP, even though that is not a lot of LP), that value will plummet. So using such high figures for generalizations is just not accurate. 2K isk/LP is very achievable for everyone with half a brain though without crashing any niche markets, so that is a much better guideline.
Plus I don't see any BPC in the LP database that fits your figures and yields that kind of isk. So unless you share it (which you prolly won't) I gotta believe it is a very special and uncommon item, or you are exaggerating :P
Leandro, after checking out Irdia Freelancer's standings in-game, I'm guessing she's using the Carthum Conglomerate LP store and running missions from the L4 Q18 admin agent there.
If you check out Irdia's contract history you'll see she's sold a lot of amarr navy EANMs in the past, so I reckon the tag numbers she refers to go towards purchasing the 5 run BPC of that faction item.
Now an amarr navy EANM sells at somewhere around 40 mil on contracts atm, so thats about 200 mil from selling 5 less the tag/direct isk costs which are about 70-somethingish million as she states. so about 130 million divided by 27,000 LP giving about 4800isk per LP, which is near enough what Irdia claims she can get.
Therefore it would be a good idea for all serious mission runners to make their way to Aphend system pronto
