Lets crush some numbers about SP farming for ISK,
According to my understanding of the process, as far as the numbers are atm, this is not a viable option unless you fuel your SP farming account with an other toon either with ISK or USD to pay for the sub fees.
Proof (?):
Assuming:
- today's approximative market data are used for calculation purposes
- Plex pruchase price is almost equal to Plex selling price (average between sell and buy order)
- SP extractor pruchase price is almost equal to SP Extractor selling price (average between sell and buy order)
- SP injector pruchase price is almost equal to SP Injector selling price (average between sell and buy order)
- Annual sub. Fees
- Extractor are purchased in bundle with NO special promo 10 extractor = 10 000 AUR
- Assuming the ISK value of extractor are given by the AUR cost at 800 AUR, we can calculate the ISK value of SP Extractor at 1000 AUR (assuming 300M ISK / 800 AUR)
- all training is done with +5 / +5 implant and maximal remap (2700 SP/h / 24h / 30 days)
- CCP bills annual sub on a 360 days rotation
- the SP farming toon is over 5,5M SP
- Skill extractor extract 500K SP per run
Data:
Plex ISK value...............1270.........M ISK
Montly sub. Fees............10.95.......USD
SP Extractor AUR Value1000........AUR
SP Extractor ISK Value...375.........M ISK.........(300 M ISK market value if purchased at 800 AUR)
SP Injector ISK Value......660.........M ISK
We know that:
- 1 month of training = 10.95USD = 1 PLEX = 3500 AUR = 1270 M ISK = 1944M SP
Calculations - AUR approach:
- on year base we find that:
i can learn :........................................................2700 SP/h x 24h x 360 days...............= 23328000SP
To extract all the SP in 1 year i need:..............Euclidean division (23328000 / 500K).= 46................extractors
To purchase all extractors needed, i must get:46 extractors x 1000 AUR / extractor..= 46000.........AUR
To get all the AUR needed, i must get:.............46 000 AUR / 3500 AUR/PLEX ..........= 13.14..........PLEX (14 rounded up)
To fuel learning alt, sub fees paied:.................12 months x 1 PLEX/month ................= 12...............PLEX
- wich lead us :
i need to purchase..........................................................................................................= 26................Plex
each plex cost 1270M ISK.................................26 PLEX x 1270M ISK........................= -33020.........M ISK
I'ill sell the injectors at 660M ISK........................46 injectors x 660M ISK......................= 30360.........M ISK
.....................................................................................................................Total income:......-2660.........M ISK / year
Calculations - ISK approach:
- on year base we find that:
i can learn :.......................................................2700 SP/h x 24h x 360 days................= 23328000........SP
To extract all the SP i can in 1 year i need:.....Euclidean division (23328000 / 500K)..= 46...................extractors
To purchase all extractors needed, i must get:46 extractors x 375 M ISK / extractor..= 17250............M ISK
To fuel learning alt, sub fees paied:.................12 months x 1 PLEX/month..................= 12.................PLEX
- wich lead us :
i need to purchase...........................................................................................................= 12.................Plex
each plex cost 1270M ISK...............................12 PLEX x 1270M ISK..........................= -15240...........M ISK
Purchased extractors.....................................................................................................= -17250...........M ISK
I'ill sell the injectors at 660M ISK......................46 injectors x 660M ISK.......................= 30360............M ISK
.................................................................................................................. Total income:......-2130.............M ISK / year
In conclusion, it is not a profitable operation since you must fuel the farming account with approximatively 2200M ISK per year. Did i miss something? Is my undersatnading of the situation correct?
According to calculation, as soon as the ISK value of SP injectors reach approximatively 720 M ISK, the SP farming operation breaks even ISK-wise, assuming the ISK value of PLEX doenst increase. After few simulations, from this point, if the ISK value of PLEX, injector and extractors increase at the same rate, the operation will always breaks even. |
