Edited by: Kham Katcha on 17/01/2010 17:01:44 hey guys,
So over the last year or two I've been inventing and manufacturing T2 goods but have been thinking about finding something new to do (can only make so many T2 drones/weapons/ships before getting bored) and was thinking about going into making boosters.
I found a guide on the eve-wiki, but what it doesn't tell me is if the boosters are popular and/or sell well.
It seems like a lot of work/risk and was wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to the ROI?
Thanks in advance

How about you get the sand out of your vagina and troll somewhere else?
Not asking for someone to hold my hand, asking if it's a decent investment int he experience of others.

Looks like another "I don't want to put forth the effort myself, so let's just ask people on the forums to do the work for me" kind of post.

How about we just donate some money to you? Would 100 mil per week be good?
In all seriousness, you won't get anywhere with questions like "what is the most profitable thing to do" or "is this worth doing" or "omg how can I make awesome moneys."
If you have an interest in an area and have questions about the process, by all means ask them and I'm sure people will help. If you have done work in T2 then you should be familiar with calculating your costs/profit margins etc. _____________________________________________

Right, so a flat-out tell me how to make money thread gets useful replies - including people who posted here - but asking if a particular profession is profitable gets trolled.
Great community. Not self-righteous and fickle at all.

Yeah those guys are being dumb ****s for some reason.
Making (the right kind of) boosters (and selling them in the right places) is quite profitable.

Yup. Asking if someone has found a particular endeavour profitable is really criminal. Should be bannable.

how hard is it really?
at the very least you could look at a reaction print and booster blueprint, see what materials you need, see what they are worth and compare them with the average jita price of standard boosters
while that doesn't take into account POS fuel costs/other overheads, its a at least a start that I would think someone who has built T2 for a while would understand _____________________________________________

Blah blah blah - I wasn't asking how to do it, I wasn't asking for an ISK by ISK breakdown, I wasn't asking for an ISK/per hour comparisson with other professions, I wasn't asking for golden secrets or for a copy of your excel spreadsheets - all I wanted to know was has it been profitable for others.
Enjoy the view from your high-horse.

I see some folks are saying that it's profitable. Are you buying the mats from, say, Jita and reacting them or mining the gas yourself? The numbers looked far from promising last time I ran them...

Looking at the response you have gotten here it would appear that it is profitable and they don't want your competion but seeing I have never done it then I would never know, instead of building just set up buy orders and resell, save yourself the time and effort of building imo good luck

No it has nothing to do with that, it takes like 3 clicks to see if a product sells well, go to sinq and forge and check the price history for the boosters, and check the orders and amount filled per day, walla you have your answer

I was buying drugs from a friend out of corp, who had a tower set up specifically to make them. I'd buy them, make the frig run from the exchange point back to my home system, and post on our forums that I had them for sale.
The margin wasn't all that great then, since I was a middle man and there were some people in the corp who were actual producers. I stopped after two runs because the pilots in my alliance didn't seem to be big users (read: slow moving product), and the margin was slight.
I had a friend in corp who I hooked up with my supplier. My friend shared in a brand new tower setup closer to home, and they started making to order. I think that those profits were much better. That operation stopped, however, due to the manufacturing process being somewhat cumbersome for them

Kham the booster producers don't want you cutting in on their pie so they are pretty unlikely to want to help you, that's one of the problems with this part of the forum. True hardcore carebears are very often ignorant capitalist pigdogs.

Edited by: ingenting on 18/01/2010 15:53:18 i speak for a lot of people when i say we're fed up of answering 10 of these threads per week.
if you exact answers you need to either ask someone that does the thing in question themselves (and they are unlikely to say cus you will then be competing), or do your own homework (like we said). everything else is just speculations.

I concur. Either ask a specific question (and get a specific answer) or try it out for yourself. What do you have to loose apart from some ISKies?
1. do your research 2. try it 3. (loose money) 4. optimize or goto 6 5. make profit 6. leave it

Hmmm, a politely worded post asking after a generic non specific reply as to whether or not something in EVE in good bad or indifferent.
This will attract every d1ckface and asshat on the forums to flame/moan/***** and whine about how "U MUST DU RESEARCH !!!"
As for myself, I have never looked at it and so have no idea but good luck.

Edited by: Ercana on 19/01/2010 03:29:57 It's like the WoW community is spilling into the EVE forum community. WoW 4 years ago was generally helpful and questions got answered with decent responses. Now it is mostly like this thread - "You got a question? Well I'll take the time to reply that you should answer it yourself but if you want a real answer from me **** you". Point is, if you don't want to answer someone's question, then just don't and move on. inb4 trolld
Good thing the EVE forums are just a small percentage of the game population.

So don't answer them. You're finding justifications for being an asshat, nothing more.

Go highlight the part where I asked anyone to do anything for me, other than advise if they have found it a profitable trade.
How awful someone should post that on a public forum devoted to this subject.

You're finding an excuse for being lazy
anything can make a profit in eve, just a difference in how much.
search the forums, do the math, theres ur answer.

because people get tired of answereing the same questions 5 times a day each week when those people asking instead could have took 5 minutes to SEARCH for the answer themselves.

How worthless must these people's time be if they can take the time to respond to a question with "OMG, I can't believe you are asking this" instead of just ignoring it and moving on. --------------------------------------------
