Jenny Spitfire	Posted - 2005.12.17 04:11:00 - [1] Ssssssssssshhhh... dont spoil the market. Later, everyone goes NPCing and PvPing and nobody mines and makes stuffs anymore. PS: OK, NPCing is a bit more profitable now but not sure NPCing is as good as mining. ---------------- RecruitMe@NOINT!
Jenny Spitfire	Posted - 2005.12.17 04:18:00 - [2] Originally by: Dao 2 imma miner, was mining bistot 3 days ago ;p trust me its MUCH better :\| i was hard pressed to make 100mil a day. I can make like 1/3 that in an hour now :\| Well, things are overpriced and not many have the luxury of easy ISKs making. I do find 30 mins of NPCing can easily obtain 3M to 5M. But I havent really play the game yet, been having little problems here and there with RMR. ---------------- RecruitMe@NOINT!
Jenny Spitfire	Posted - 2005.12.17 04:20:00 - [3] Edited by: Jenny Spitfire on 17/12/2005 04:20:45 Originally by: Lisento Slaven NPCing is always better than mining when it comes to making money. Mining is just a slower, safer way of doing it and doesn't bring it nearly as much. People who live in 0.0 will be making a lot more money now (especially all those alliances who fly in blobs). I wonder how this will affect empire markets... Shouldnt affect much since most Empire businesses are controlled by Carebears alts of ppl living in 0.0 Also it is hard to say, depending on how many stuffs get blown off, supply and demand. Probably things will get a little bit expensive soon? ---------------- RecruitMe@NOINT!
Jenny Spitfire	Posted - 2005.12.19 02:11:00 - [4] OK, my observation is... 0.0 belt NPCing is less boring but only make 1/2 the amount of ISKs comparing to mining crimson/prime Arkanor in 0.0. It is all balanced. Mining is and has always been more profitable than NPCing but boring. Only that NPCing is more balanced now because it is 1/2 the cash and not 1/4 the cash like it used to be. ---------------- RecruitMe@NOINT!

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, 30 mins mining is about 10M to 15M, and 30 mins NPCing is about 5M if I am lucky to find and kill 5 BSes and lackeys. ---------------- RecruitMe@NOINT!

Jenny Spitfire	Posted - 2005.12.19 03:00:00 - [7] Edited by: Jenny Spitfire on 19/12/2005 03:02:51 Originally by: Dao 2 have u npced after patch o_0? Yep. Also, seems that my guessed ISKs making numbers to tally with others above me in this thread so far. So, conclusion is, market will still hold and not be expensive because mining is still lucractive like before. Mining > NPCing but NPCing with some luck can earn more than mining on some days. Looks balanced to me, as in NPCing is a little more profitable than before but not at the expense of mining. ---------------- RecruitMe@NOINT!
Jenny Spitfire	Posted - 2005.12.19 03:12:00 - [8] Originally by: Dao 2 Originally by: Jenny Spitfire Originally by: Dao 2 i have no idea why ur getting **ty as npcs :S im getting tons of good ones, i can barely find a spawn i could tank mine with ;p Maybe you are lucky? Also, how much are you making around 30 mins of NPCing? mostly around 10-15 mil ;p maybe u got a crappy area to npc in :S dunno how u got 1/4th as much before..... i got just as much I think you have mis-interpreted me. I was comparing mining crimson/prime Arkanor vs NPCing in 0.0. Pre-RMR (30 mins block) Mining: 15M to 20M. (1/1) NPCing: 2M to 4M. (1/4) RMR (30 mins block) Mining: 15M to 20M. (1/1) NPCing: 5M to 10M. (give or take about 1/2) ---------------- RecruitMe@NOINT!**
Jenny Spitfire	Posted - 2005.12.20 15:57:00 - [9] Originally by: Invisible Touch A lthough young,Dao has a strong point here.If this continues there's gonna be big time inflation in eve economy. However, I dont think it will continue. I am pretty sure NPCs are gonna get tougher. Probably the Devs played it on the safe side (and its Christmas also!), b/c of the new npc capabilities. So enjoy it while it lasts. I dont give this situation more than a month. Finally Exodus is happenning Dao may have a strong point but I think not all NPCers in 0.0 are that lucky, TBH. If you do follow the thread, Mining stiil *more profitable* than NPCing. Loot are excluded because it is purely based on luck. The current system is fine as it is. ---------------- RecruitMe@NOINT!
Jenny Spitfire	Posted - 2005.12.20 20:22:00 - [10] Edited by: Jenny Spitfire on 20/12/2005 20:23:28 Originally by: Dao 2 dunno why ur getting such crap npces... the majority of ppl i talk too are getting equally good npces, and better most of the time cause i have bad luck with commanders ;p i mean the corp wallet rose well over 100mil yesterday just cause of taxes! (bout 130 by the time i logged off but not much time left in the day by then ;) ) I dunno, but from what I have seen posted in this thread, many seems to be getting the amount of ISKs that is more or less the same as me. Maybe there is some amount of luck factor here, that is giving some ppl good ISKs and some not so good ISKs. Also, your thread is about *NPCing > Mining* but most evidence discussed in this thread points towards *Mining > NPCing. I can only say, there is no point for me to argue about this any more and I shall let the viewers decide on this. There is no replacement than trying out yourself rather than take advices from either the OP or me. My argument as far as I know still remains, which is Mining > NPCing* in general excluding "luck" from NPCing. Bbye. ---------------- RecruitMe@NOINT!
