azmodii	Posted - 2007.12.03 11:52:00 - [1] I Just Thought I Would Contribute My Early Success Strat For Those Playing Trial Accounts Who Would Like To Experience More Of What EVE Has To Offer, In A Shorter Period. The First Downfall Of EVE Trial Accounts Is Skills. They Take Time. Lots Of It. In The 14 Days I Managed To Get Most Of My Skills To A Reasonable Level, Concentrating On Mining And Industrial, With A Side Of Manufacturing And Ship Skills. Within The First 3 Days Of This Account, I Am Making Around 500,000 ISK Per Hour. Minute To Most But Relevent For Newbs. Another Set Back Is Dying. Inevitable And Costly. If You Plan To Make Money Safely And Without Too Much Risk, Then You Are Kidding Yourself. The Best Way To Avoid Dying In The Early Stages Is Not Doing Anything, So Forget About That. But Enough About That And On To How I Had Success Within 14 Days. 1. Starting Out I Wont Cover The Character Creation, As It Is Irrelevent In The Short Time You Will Be Playing, Play For A While And Then Worry About Perfecting A Character. Race Is However Important, Caldarii Is The Best For Short Term Mining And Gallente For Mining/Engineering. Caldarii Because Of Their Mining Frigate, And Gallente For Their Location. 1.1 So I Have A Character, What Now? The Tutorial Is Essential. Forget About The Learning Aspects, The Money Made From The First Mission And The Courier Mission Will Fund Your First Mining Craft, That Will Undoubtably Fund Your Entire Short Stay In EVE. Killing Is Fun, But Risky, And Can Have Repurcussions That Really Suck. One Such Is Losing A Ship, And Face It, The Shuttle You Start With Wont Kill Much But Space Dust. 1.2 After The First Courier Mission I Suggest Doing One More, But Its Not Vitaly Important. By Now, With Your Salvage And ISK Earned, You Should Have Enough For A BASIC Mining Frigate. Do Not Be Fussy. Get The Mining Frigate For Your Class And Fit It With A Small Railgun (Range) And Your Mining Laser From Your First Ship, Assuming You Took Industry As An Option In The Character Creation. If Not Then You Need To Do A Few More Missions And Buy One, But Finding One To Buy Can Be Hard. You Should Find One On Bandits At Asteroid Belts. Assuming You Have A Mining Laser, 50-60,000 ISK And Mining I Skill At Least, Then You Are Set. Buy The Mining Frigate And Assemble It. Fit Your Items From Your Original Ship And Scrap Your Civilian Weapons. Fit Your Civilian Shield Booster. If You Have 2, Fit Both. Remember That Railguns Require Ammo, And Small Weapons Can Only Take Small Ammunition. Buy A Cheap But Effective Ammo, But Avoid Bullets. Shells Are The Way. 1.3.1 If You Have 2 Civilian Shield Boosters Congratulations. You Can Use 2 Mining Lasers And Not Worry About Bandits Too Much. Best To Keep Your Railgun Fitted While You Find A Good Asteroid Belt, But I Will Cover That Later. 1.3.2 If Not Boo Hoo. You Are Going To Have To Use 1 Mining Laser. Oh Well, Its Not Vitaly Important. Try And Find Another Civilian Shield Booster Though, As It Helps A Lot! 1.4 I Have My Ship, Its Fitted How You Said And I Want ISK NOW!! Well... NO! You Are Far From Making A Living Off Mining. By Now You Should Have Kept Researching Mining And Be LVL 2 Or Researching LVL 3. Now You Need To Find A Good Source Of Income. This Means A Balance Of Bandits (If You Lack 2 Shield Boosters) And Materials. Dense Veldospar Is Best. Its Easy To Find. Easy To Mine. Easy To Sell. Find A Nice Location With Plenty Of It, As I Have Had Issues With People Becoming Disgruntled That I Am Mining Their Asteroid. And I Mean That Litterally. Corporations Have Boundaries And Some People Can Be Right Out Pri.. Umm... Meanies. Just Best To Stay In A 0.8 System And Above. Mine The Dense Veldospar And Dont Waste Time On Others... Veldospar Is The Best For Now. Find A Station Close And Warp Between Them, Selling Your RAW VELDOSPAR - DO NOT REFINE IT Keep This Up And Research To Mining LVL4
azmodii	Posted - 2007.12.03 11:56:00 - [2] Edited by: azmodii on 03/12/2007 11:58:58 If You Have 2 Shield Boosters, Drop The Railgun And Fit Another Mining Laser, Mining Laser II If You Can, Then Simply Use The Boosters When You Are Under Attack And Warp Out When You Are Done. Let Your Shields Get To Halfway Down And Activate Both Boosters. Instant Uber Shield Against Low LVL Bandits. That Will Get You Started With An Average Income. From Then On It Is Up To You But I Find It WAY Fatser Than Running Errand And Ratting. Combine Mining, Ratting And Courier Missions And You Cant Fail... But... Meh..
Aun Liss	Posted - 2007.12.03 12:46:00 - [3] Edited by: Aun Liss on 03/12/2007 12:48:26 Just don't forget that if you like to take the character beyond the trial, character creation is important. The creation system will guide you, but if you create a hardcore miner at character creation you won't be learning combat skills as fast as a character with a military background. If that is what you decide later that is. You'll still be fine as an industrialist.
PuJu Caldari Dawn of a new Empire Pure.	Posted - 2007.12.03 13:18:00 - [4] Starting every word with a capital letter makes your wall of text not only hard to read but annoying and straining. IE: I gave up after the first few words.
Jonas Deverian	Posted - 2007.12.03 13:23:00 - [5] Capitals At The Start Of Every Word Please NOOO!
Magnus Nordir Caldari	Posted - 2007.12.03 13:29:00 - [6] Originally by: Jonas Deverian Capitals At The Start Of Every Word Please NOOO! I Couldn'T Agree Any More On This Subject. Es ist die Stunde der Patrioten, die uns vom Leid befreit, die Stunde der Patrioten, der neu beginnen Freiheit!
Zhett Haukes Mutually Assured Distraction	Posted - 2007.12.03 13:50:00 - [7] Wow, that was hard to read, so hard infact that I didn't bother. While it's nice that you want to help new players (I think) your writing style is not helping you. I suggest an edit. So You Don't Type Like This...
Travis Trent	Posted - 2007.12.03 13:51:00 - [8] InitCapped Wall Of Text Wrecks You For 2543856242 points of damage. An interesting post, but please for the love of god stop initcapping everything. It makes my eyes bleed.
Shanur Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2007.12.03 16:37:00 - [9] Also, i would not recommend mining to trial characters. 1. They can not use industrials, so jetcan mining is right out the window. 2. It isn't really that good a source of income compared to missioning (even level 1) until you get to fairly maxed out skills and a mining cruiser (and yes, jetcan mining). 3. It's time consuming and boring to people not interested in just quitely cultivating their capital. Trialers just want a good sample of what EVE can be like. As such i'd get them into missioning ASAP and then in a tier 2 gunboat frigate in low sec to sample PvP.
Fermi Drake Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2007.12.03 16:40:00 - [10] If you're looking to end the somewhat less than helpful comments, you might want to check if you can set your Voice to Type program to not use capitals; even no capitalization would be better at this point. Or at least explain the situation in your signature. Just my half sense. -Fermi Drake My Coercer runs Mac OS X Leopard.
Billy Sastard Amarr Life. Universe. Everything. Hydra Alliance	Posted - 2007.12.03 16:42:00 - [11] *THIS IS WHY NOOBS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO WRITE GUIDES...* Seriously, while some of the advice in here is OK, for the most part it is not a good idea. Mining is definitely NOT "experiencing more of what eve has to offer" And it is Veldspar not Veldospar. And Starting Every Word In The Post Is Extremely Annoying And Hard To Read!!! -=^=-
NightF0x Gallente Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.12.03 17:11:00 - [12] Why do people that have played for less than 6 months feel compelled to write a report on how they have spent their past 5 days making money with no skills? The limits are endless on how you can make money, spend your time or find fun in Eve that no guide can accurately depict a fraction of it.
Sven Thomas	Posted - 2007.12.03 17:17:00 - [13] there are better guides than this my friend.
azmodii	Posted - 2007.12.03 21:22:00 - [14] thanks for the advice on voice2type. i fixed it now. but now it wont do capitals at all but meh. and this is merely a guide to get money quicker than doing the tutorial, which if fact is a lot quicker and easier and can offer people an easy way to make more money and get better weapons and better ships rather than be stuck doing the tutorial as i have seen many people complain about that. yes there are better guides but for newbs they are hard to comprehend, this is easy.
Isaac Hoffman	Posted - 2007.12.03 21:26:00 - [15] Starting every word with a capital letter is horrible grammar (not sure what you're trying to accomplish), and even worse, it destroys my eyes. I'd like to read your post but it's physically painful to read. Please edit it and format it correctly.
Fermi Drake Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2007.12.04 01:30:00 - [16] Originally by: azmodii thanks for the advice on voice2type. i fixed it now. but now it wont do capitals at all but meh. Definitely much better though. ^.^ Hopefully the periods will make everything clear enough! Just my half sense. -Fermi Drake My Coercer runs Mac OS X Leopard.
Shanur Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2007.12.04 12:54:00 - [17] Typically the mission & salvage route is more lucrative than mining. Mining is more for dedicated people who like a more or less hands off approach, or for hard core industrialists who really are after the minerals for their own production.
TiciaMin	Posted - 2007.12.04 13:46:00 - [18] Originally by: azmodii Another setback is dying. Inevitable and costly. If you plan to make money safely and without too much risk, then you are kidding yourself. The best way to avoid dying in the early stages is not doing anything, so forget about that. I would disagree with this. Originally by: azmodii The money made from the first mission and the courier mission will fund your first mining craft, that will undoubtably fund your entire short stay in EVE. Not really sure where is comment was headed.
