is it posible for an alpha clone to make enough money to buy a PLEX? or it requires so much time and effort that is really hard for someone new to make enough money for it?
before anything, i want to state that is literally imposible for me to buy plex with real money, it has to do with the economy of the country i live that makes is imposible for us to buy stuff like this.
Mining is litterally one of the worst ways to make isk as an alpha. That includes gas mining. I went gas mining on an omega with better skills than you could get as an alpha and only included the time i was actively mining. I was making 5-6 mil an hour. Gas mining use to pay good, but it really doesnt anymore. I was mining gas that pays 10xxx a unit which is the best ive found living in a WH.
Lets assume a plex is 1.2 bil isk. Playing:
* 10 hours a week you will need to make 30 mil an hour
* 20 hours a week you will need to make 15 mil an hour.
* 40 hour a week you will need to make 7.5 mil an hour.
This doesnt include isk you will need for ships, ammo, skills, etc.
The fastest way to make isk is to learn to scan and hack. You can make 100 mil or more an hour doing this however its very hit and miss. You may have good days and you may have days where you make almost nothing. You need to get fast at scanning and hacking. Practice in high sec. Research scanning and hacking videos and guides.
You will want all skills related to scanning and hacking trained up as high as you can as well as frigates to high as level as possible. You will also want some cash in reserve. At least 5 mil but 20 plus mil is better.
What your going to do is take your racial exploration frigate and your going to fit it with a data and relic analyzers. A 5mn microwarp drive, a core probe launcher and 8 or 16 scan probes(16 makes life a bit easier but more investment), and finally put interial stablizers in your low slots. This will allow you enter warp faster which is important. Jita is probably going to be the cheapest hub to buy all this. You want to keep your investment under 1 mil isk or as close to 1 mil isk as possible.
Then your going to go out scanning somewhere away from busy systems. Ideally you want systems with less than 10 people in them. While the amount of people in system doesnt really matter. It indicates how busy the system is and how likely you are to get people that find the same Wormhole as you.
Scan down all signatures in the system. Run the relic and data sites. Warp to all wormholes and see where they go and how long they have left( this information is available in show info on the wormhole). You will have to learn what the info in show info means and you will have to learn wormhole mechanics and learn the basics about wormhole space, null space and low space, so you understand what your getting into.
What you want to do is find wormholes that go to low, null, or low class wspace. Then you want to jump through scan relic and data sites, then jump out without getting caught with your loot. Then sell it in jita.
You will lose ships doing this. However 1 low relic or data site should earn enough isk to replace your ship 5 times or more. 1 null or w space site should make enough to replace your ship 10 times or more. Sites can pay 5 - 100 mil each. It takes about 5-15 minutes to run the site and however long to scan it. This is the fast method to make isk with alpha skills.
The second best way to make isk would be to join a null alliance and rat in their space. It will pay better than mining or killing NPCs in high sec.
