I run missions more than most. I humbly think I am very fast at them and think you can use my experience as a 'realistic' maximum. I also tend to savage some missions in a noctis (to break up the monotony) and I also sell LP to isk at a 'reasonable effort' rate...I try to get the best isk/LP but I don't go overboard on it and I sell it quickly instead of playing a market game. I also tend not to turn missions down...a few but mostly run what I can get INCLUDING faction missions. I also take some breaks like going to the bathroom, hunting down a beer, resloving kid fights etc. and I COUNT that time. So, if I sat down and refused to be distracted I could probably up the isk/hour....but I also can mission for many hours at a time with no burnout/diminishing isk per hour from being pumped up too long.
The inflated isk per hour you see are people that usually:
- Only counting the ACTUAL time to run missions (think stopwatch) and do not count travel time, switch modules time etc.
- Play the LP game really well...but don't count that time researching, moving stuff around and trading.
- Dual box or more..but don't divide the isk/hour by the number of toons they use.
There are 5 main areas of income for a missioner in decending order with a rough guess as to its weight:
- Bounties 37%
- LP to isk conversion 33%
- Loot 12%
- Salvage 10%
- Agent rewards 8%
If you only savage certain missions that are worthwhile, the time it takes to run them is probably about what you could get if you just did another mission. The exception being faction mission because people tend not to do them and those tags can be worth mucho isk. Therefore, ignore this part as it is pretty much equaivalent to Bounties.
So...Bounties is about half of what you make with LP conversion plus agent rewards being another half...which means take your wallet tick per 20 minutes times 3 (to get isk per hour)...then double it.
What does my wallet tick at? Again, ignoring srone missions and faction where you get no bounty (but make it up in salvage) my wallet ticks on average about 10 mill per 20 min. SOmetimes more, sometimes less but usually between 8-12.
This means about 30 mill per hours...which you double per my logic above for LP...and you get 60 mill per hour.
This feels about right to me and I think it is close.
Be aware, though, that I only really use this toon for missions and so skilled it up for that purpose for about 4 years. I run a shiney ship (but not TOO so gankers will be dissappointed if they scan me) and I have hardwire implants. Most poeple in my corp make less...and would say they struggle for 40 mill per hour.
Hope this info helps. :) |
