the answer to your question depends on whether or not you have a life.

You would need money to make money. I don't think it's possible in those 21 days.

I once made a 21 Trial +PLEX (51 day full acc) and tried to make enough money for PLEX in HiSec doing only PI. Was actualy not that much work and it did work.

I had a guy apply to my corp who was trying to do the same thing.

On a 21 day trial he was going to station trade and plex the account with only the 5,000 starting ISK as seed money.

While 26 million a day is doable, with no skills and no starting capital I don't see have it can be done.

Last time he checked in with me he was almost 200 million short with two days to go.

If the point is to test/prove whether its possible to plex an account during trial with station/hub trading, then i think you are doing it wrong.

OP, don't attempt what you're planning if you already have a full account, you will literally break your self trying, and it will be a waste of time. In the end you might actually succeed in plexing all 3 accounts but they will have zero isk because you would have spent it on plex, and then you would have to repeat the whole thing again over the next 30 days, just to keep those accounts active.

It would be better to focus on your main account first, build up your wealth and then plex a new account.

Honestly a better idea would be to inject some starting isk to a new 21 day trial account, place your new alt in a hub separate from your main characters location and just start station trading. After 20 days cover any shortfall with your main to plex that account.

You do? Why? Please elaborate your statements, I feel so confused.

. Trade hubbers can make about 100-200 mill ISK an hour I've read

Because you plan "cheating" with cash injections from your main and doing missions...

But i do think its possible to plex 1 account.
It all depends on the skill plan, items you choose, amount of orders and most important is how much time can be spent on this.

Numbers like that require some capital, can't do it with 5k isk you get on day 1

Yeah, I should've tried before I had a full account. I kind of got the inspiration from all the newbies trying to mine themselves to get PLEX, which is impossible. Trade hubbers can make about 100-200 mill ISK an hour I've read, so I thought I'd be possible, even with just level IV Accounting and Broker Relations, not top standing, and just frigates, destroyers and cruisers. A lot of stuff like skill books doesn't take up much cargo space.

I guess it'd be more a proof of concept than anything else. Dogs lick their balls because they can.

You'll need that standing for a trade hub alt even on a full account..

Doing the career missions would take about 12 hours, sister's of eve arc three I guess. Then after that it's just plain trade hubbing like full accounts do, just without volume. But like I mentioned earlier, there are lucrative trade goods to ship around in just frigates, destroyers and cruisers.

...I kind of got the inspiration from all the newbies trying to mine themselves to get PLEX, which is impossible...

While I avoid mining myself, and don't generally recommend it to others, plexing a new account by mining is not impossible.

I'd just like to know what fits you're using to do the sisters of eve arc in 3 hours.

It should be doable.

I usually whack my new alts into Jita out of the tutorials, cos I hate missions, and I cba with standing.

The first 20-50m I get by doing meta items, then move to say, T2 modules, then around 150m I start throwing a few faction/T2 ships into the mix.

the first 100m seems to take forever to get, and you never seem to have enough orders, but, around the 200m mark, I tend to find I need fewer and fewer orders, as you settle into items.

1b is doable in a month from the tutorial isk, so, 500m in the first 21d should be achievable.

After the first month, you are ofc, not working with 0 isk, so it gets easier.

Its useless...go ask Gevlon Goblin how to do missions then...


The missioning forums is somewhere there ------>>>

It was him that gave me the idea.

Allow me to laugh at you both then? I think its only fair

To be honest, I don't think you should be laughing at anyone..

And if you do missions and get 70 mill ISK head start, it's even more probable.

Newbs should try this out instead of mining theirself to death.

Time to get 70m from missions?

cos I am currently getting 57k + 69k bonus from L2s, with the advantage of having a T2 fitted cruiser to burn through them.

I make 70,000,000 / (57,000 + 69,000) = 555.555 missions.

Of course, you can step up to L3s, but then you have to factor in the cost of buying a ship and fittings, which a trader does not have to worry about.

Yes, you can do distribution missions, but, you need a combat ship for L1s while getting standing.


My L1 fresh out the box combat mission runner is getting 40k + 55k.

Maybe a brand new alt with no assistance can get 70m isk for trading via missioning faster than via trading, still leaving enough time to get a plex within the first 21 days. I would maybe split it between your 3 chars, get one to mine for 21 days, get one to mission, and get one to trade.


I am doing a similar thing (not related to trading, but to testing various things for comparison), and its quite fun to see how it goes.

the answer to your question depends on whether or not you have a life.

If a new player to the game wanted to play the game for free and never spend a cent, all he has to do is the following... Get an account (14 day works). Figure out what station trading is. Do not feel rushed and trade when you have a chance during the day. Lets say you get 100mil in those 14 days. Well, now make a new trial account and you will have to move the isk to that account using an unique method because you cant isk transfer. I don't think contracts work but trade might. BUT if trade doesn't work all they you have to do is find somebody in your corp who you can just give your stuff to them on the 1st account and just get the stuff back from them on your 2nd account. It's quite easy.

You can trade with trial accounts, but not give money. So you only have to give away trade goods instead.

Yeah, I guess this is possible. I even don't have to do it through corps because I have multiple machines.

I think I'm just going to make money with my main and make some buddy alt trading accounts when/if I gain enough ISK, since that appears to be easier. But I kind of wanted to see if it would be possible.
