Himnos Altar An Errant Venture Beyond The Dark 131	Posted - 2012.12.31 20:04:00 - [31] - Quote Noobious wrote: For those players with multiple billions of (liquid) isk, how do you manage it? I'm only wondering how you handle your isk... no investments in other player schemes or assets. I see two methods: Keep it all in your wallet A market typo could wipe you out Single person corp Use corp wallet divisions as "bank accounts" What if you want to stay in an NPC corp? Any other ideas? 1) Stick it all in a giant swimming pool 2) Dive into it (Scrooge McDuck style) 3) Swim around in it 4) ??? 5) Profit

Felicity Love War-Tech Inc. Black Core Alliance 134	Posted - 2012.12.31 20:11:00 - [33] - Quote I buy large quantities of merchandise and then lock it away in appropriately labeled Vaults. The vault with the slaves needs to be hosed out once in awhile, but then I installed the sprinkler system so now it's such a time saver. Either way, the vaults solve the accidental type issue.

Josef Djugashvilis Acme Mining Corporation 906	Posted - 2013.01.01 11:00:00 - [42] - Quote Define the mininum amount required to be considered a large amount of isk. I thought my first million was a large amount of isk as I had few skills to utilise - waste it on. This is not a signature.

Six Six Six Republic Military School Minmatar Republic 3	Posted - 2013.01.01 11:29:00 - [44] - Quote I'm actually not that rich, only 8 Billion isk and around 2.5 Billion of assets. I keep it on the one character but then I'm careful when in the market and won't accept contracts, only contracts I deal with are the ones I make, on rare occassions. But I don't really have much to spend it on at the moment as I have 95% of the books I'm likely to need and a series of ships stored including a Tengu and Legion. Makes me wonder what those that have loads more actually do with it other than buy PLEX off of the ingame market to fund their accounts.

Aryth GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 736	Posted - 2013.01.01 16:40:00 - [53] - Quote As said elsewhere in this thread, generally having liquid is a bad thing. However, at times you might run into the many hundreds of billions liquid while shifting out of one thing and into something else. I use a banker alt, and alt corp wallet divisions. Wallets for each different project/manip/spec. I find 7 to be plenty as I am typically not funneling ISK into more than 3-4 major projects at once anyway. This also makes it easier to eyeball profit and such without having to pull it all down with api and crunch with a program. Keeping a modest sum, say 20-100b on your trader char when you are actively doing updates is about all you ever need. Limits your risk to typo, limits you from keeping too much liquid. That is by far the greater danger. You might make 2-3 really nasty mistakes for a few bill at most. Leaving liquid is going to cost you far more.
