If you can clear a mission in 10-15 minutes and get a good return on your LP then 60 million an hour is possible, but much more demanding in terms of SP, ship cost, and attention.

I was doing some basic timing using a stopwatch, and discovered that I spent about 10 minutes per hour of mining, actively doing something in the game. This would be stuff like locking an asteroid, moving cargo, warping, etc.

The other 50 mins was spent semi-afk doing homework on a second monitor.

I mine around 10m isk per hour in my Retriever. So for every active minute I spent in-game, I earnt 1m isk. So for every 60 minutes of "active" mining, I make 60m isk.

So I can say that I make 60m isk per hour from mining.

Pretty neat, eh? Can mission runners boast the same thing?

So 10m/hour
10mill/60min
166666.6isk/min
10 min active = 1666666.6isk/10min
166666.6isk/min*60min=10mill/hour

Sound to me like so done needs to focus more on there homework and less on eve

You want to talk reality? OK, how's this? I bill $150 US$ per hour to work on stuff for my clients on the side. I do that while AFK mining. What do I make in one hour? $150/$35 per GTC = 4 GTC (rounded down) = 8 PLEX, per HOUR.

That's reality. Now, go back to your example, please.

It's great - I run the mining fleet in empire when Im working from the home office. Love the productivity

7/10 for you, as I was going to go out for lunch but you've compelled me to reply.

And thus I bold the relevant points in my original post.



Just so people can follow the basic maths:

10m isk / 10 active minutes = 1m isk per active minute

60 active minutes of mining = 60 * 1m isk per active minute = 60m isk per active hour

So for every hour I spend clicking and scanning asteroids, moving cargo, warping and other forms of ACTIVE mining-related gameplay, I make 60m isk.

So you are distracting yourself with a game while you should be studying? Your parents must be so proud of you. Lucky for you there will be plenty of time for minimum wage internships after you complete your studies so you can bring your real-life skills up to a decent level.

You would get your work done faster if you concentrated 100%- for most people, around 1.5x faster minimum. (many people go as high as 2.5x faster) More attention-intensive activities will make far more isk using that extra time than you would splitting your attention.

Using the OP's logic, I can say I make about 400 mil/hour doing science. He's obviously not studying math.

I also make over 10 billion isk an hour actively running the market.

Planetary interaction makes me about 300m an hour.

Plexing makes me 5 billion an hour.

Wait, can you explain it a bit better for me. You make 10m an hour mining, but when you 'active mine' you make 60m...

What's the difference between the two, and what set up you use?

I make 10m an hour with a Mack getting boosts..

... So for every active minute I spent in-game, I earnt 1m isk. So for every 60 minutes of "active" mining, I make 60m isk.

Try to re-read my original post. You still make 10m per hour from mining. However, to make that 10m, you only need to actively play the game for around 10 minutes per hour. The other 50 minutes can be spent semi-AFK.

Multiply the 'active' time by six so you can convert 10 minutes into one hour. For every hour you spend "actively mining" in the game (clicking the mouse, warping, moving cargo etc), you earn 60m. Of course, you'll need to spend 300 minutes semi-AFK to access this money (6 * 50 minutes = 300 minutes).

But since semi-AFK = not playing the game, technically it should not be considered in calculating isk/hour.

In RL, this is why most workers do not consider travel time in calculating their hourly wage. Since you're not at work, traveling is usually not considered work. And likewise, when you are semi-AFK, i.e. not playing the game, the time you spend semi-AFK shouldn't be considered when calculating your isk/hour.
