Each account gets to train skills on at least 1 toon, but when you reach Exhumer IV then you begin training another toon miner on your account. You still mine with your original toon, but you use the SP more effectively by training an additional miner (or other type of toon). When the other miner toon is complete and you want to mine with it, you put it on its own account and then you have two accounts with two finished miner toons. But you still get SP on these two accounts, so you begin training an extra miner toon on both accounts to make best use of the SP that each account ticks in.

The most time-efficient thing is to cook your own dinner the day you planned to go for takeout food, and then you can buy a plex or two for the money you saved. Then you make 1 200 000 000 isk for under an hours grinding and can go do PVP.

Stop turning this game into a god damn spreadsheet...how hard is it to just play\enjoy the game.

If there are skills that benefit you more and take less than that lvl 5 do those first, in any other case just run the damn skill for a month and play the game.

It's not the same cost. He can play one toon and plex the other when they are on the same account.

Ilshira, when one has completed training a miner up to Exhumer IV on toon 1 on account 1 you still get SP on account 1. If you made another account right away and began training a miner on account 2, what would you spend the SP that account 1 racks in every month you play on it? Making the second account before toon 2 on account 1 is completed is a waste of the account 1 SP (unless you have something to train on toon 1 other than mining skills).

Jeez. You have 1 plex per month on your account, but you turn off the training on your first finished miner so you can train the other miner on that account. You can train any 1 of the 3 characters on each account, doesn't matter which. As long as you pause one queue when you want to train another queue.

Rain Arthie, that person probably has to mine something like 2100 hours to make profit from training Exhumer V (since he uses Mackinaws). If he does this, he should have trained Exhumer V, but if does not, it would be a detriment to his wallet if he trained Exhumer V on all these accounts instead of using all these accounts to train new miners.

I see your point however we know very little about the op. He could be rich with loads of money that can do something like this. I say do it if mining is your passion. If your not sure don't do it.

"Why have two miners on one account anyway since you can use only one? That was my big question."

I haven't got a clue where the confusion lay. If character 1 on account 1 is a miner that is maxed out (1) then it is like a full glass of water, there's no point in training more on it. So you put a glass next to it, under the same tap, and then you fill another glass (train another miner on the same account). Once you have two full miners you put one on account 2 and start filling a second miner on both accounts. Because both miners are full.

(1) - Maxed out means that it no longer is beneficial to train more mining skills. If you mine with mackinaw you have to mine 2100 hours to begin making profit on Exhumer V, if you mine with Hulk you have to mine 700 hours before you begin making profit on Exhumer V. So if you mine with Mackinaw and will not mine more than 2100 hours during the next few years, then maxed out means that you have trained Exhumer IV (And all the other beneficial skills).

I'm not saying its "broken", because not all skills have to be profitable right away. But people should know they're not profitable right away, and they should know when they become profitable. When it comes to Exhumer V, it becomes profitable only when you mine more than 700 hours with Hulk, or 2100 hours with Mackinaw.

howabout advanced weapon upgrades and advanced drone interfacing?

I get what you say, but you are not getting what I am saying.

"2 x Miners on 2 accounts = Both miners can be used together = No wasted SP"

What will you spend the SP from account 1 on? The miner on that account is fully trained.

What I want to know is how the OP got 400,000,000ISK out of a 20+ day skill?
