I have two toons and I am fed up of being poor and want to start making some real isk
one toon has some reasonable trading skills- mostly lv4 and high caldari/ caldari navy standings for jita and amarr standings
the other also has decent trade skills and is nearly at a stage where she can build and, invent with decent skills. also high min/ gal standings
They both currently can have about 60 market orders, i will increase it for both as i progress.
I currently have about 2b of stock in a couple of stations that i have acquired through regional buy orders and I will soon move this to a hub to sell a decent profit and this i what i will use to start my trading and manufacturing. Profit % is unknown on what i have done so far- this is why i want to be a bit more professional in what im doing
so on to my questions
from looking on this forum, many big name traders seem to use eve mogul. i will start a trial soon as i get a bit more organised, it seems to me that it is a trading tool. Is there something similar to use for manufacturing? ie material costs in, invention costs, build costs, selling price etc
If i want to trade in Jita, is it more important to have high caldari navy standings or high caldari faction? On one toon i have both but he has high amarr standings but no emperor family for amarr hub- do i need to grind emperor family or is it unnecessary?between my two toons i have over 5 standings for all 4 factions if i want to do interhub trading
Eve mogul seems a great tool for profit tracking but it seems i need to do my research first on what to trade. I was thinking of trying to build my own spreadsheet for this- i haven't worked out what info i will need yet. I know nothing about importing api / crest and using it to get info- is there an idiots guide for how to do this? also i use libre office because i am poor- would a guide to excel also apply to libre office too?

Thanks for the replies so far
I have IPH and there still seems to be some decent profits around in T2 manufacturing and I have had some recent success with a few invention runs that I have tried for the first time so I will give it a try. I actually enjoy this side of the game so as long as it makes some money then it is fine by me. I got quite lucky on the last invention run and if the numbers from IPH stack up, it should be a 200m profit from selling the manufactured t2 components over the cost of the raw materials of 1b. that seems ok to me. i have a full set of t2 component bpos for all 4 races all fully researched already.
I need to read Sabriz' previous posts again about using decryptors to see how best i can use them too to boost my profits.
for me it is all about taking small steps to improve the efficiency of what i am doing and being able to correctly track what i have been doing to try and keep on top of it all.
How do manufacturers keep track of what they are doing? trading profit is easy - price sold - price paid - taxes = profit but manufacturing seems to have more to keep on top of- invention costs/ success raw material costs, transport costs, build costs, taxes etc |

I've already decided that i will be using public courier contracts for moving big loads- I can't fly freighters and have no real desire to fly one or lose to it to Sabriz and friends ;) |

I've built some components required for t2 manufacturing, should be starting my first t2 manufacturing run soon
invention takes longer than i realised but i've got a few t2 ships in the invention oven and i'm hoping for some good luck in the results. Starting off with just a few runs as i dont have much cash but seeing the post above about building up quickly gives me hope to move up in my building
thanks for all the tips so far |
