Just trying to gauge what some individual upper end income is like for players here.
How much isk per month do you make on average?

Between 0.10 ISK and 5 Billion is what maybe 80% of EVE players have. And that only represents 20% of the total ISK in EVE. The other 20% have the other 80% of the ISK.

tbh i more or less stopped playing atm so my income is down to about 2b a month 
when i have a few long skills trained(doing wholesale5 atm) maybe my interest(and income) might perk up a bit
I'm not holding my breath since FW has been a really big disappointment for me

If people are making as much as everyone suggest i gotta get a new job in eve :)
Some estimates from Corp Members for one person:
Running level 3 missions & Loot: c.18mil an hour + 6,000 LP Running level 4 missions & Loot: c.40mil an hour + 14,000 LP Mining Hi Sec: c.20mil an hour Mining Lo Sec: c.35mil an hour Ratting 0.0sec: c.60mil an hour Ninja Salvaging: 400mil per month
Manufacturing t2 Ships and Market Orders: 3.6bil per month (c. 200ships per month, 3 characters) Manufacturing t1 BPCs: 900mil per month (1x Medium Pos, advanced labs)
Don't quote me on those amounts, but It looks close to me.

Indeed, with a single char trading I've managed a little over 6 bil in a month. If I really pushed it then I rekon I could hit 10 bil but it would probably kill me. 
I know others who make a little more with (alegedly) a lot less effort but I don't know any one over around 15 bil per month on a regular basis. I'm sure there are some out there who manage it though.
In much the same way that me earning 1 bil per month without even playing the game is incomprehensible to many people, others earning 10 bil per month while barely playing is incomprehensible to me.
Beyond a certain point it all becomes pretty irrelevant. --------------------------------------

Obviously you need to base it on scale. Most people wouldn't have anywhere near the capital to work with that we do.

Originally by: Arthor Dark Just trying to gauge what some individual upper end income is like for players here.
How much isk per month do you make on average?
Just look at the EVE population and who does what. The majority of EVE players are not "hardcore" nor have fancy supercapitals or large businesses. So most people have less than 5 billion ISK, including assets. The older characters and many of the older 0.0 alliance folk who have been playing for 3-5 years can more easily be in the 5-20 range as that is where the nice production operations are, knowledge often comes with experience, they have had time to acquire assets, and these are the people who fly capitals, and who aspire to fly MS (so there is necessity as well). Then you have the "rich" people in both Empire and 0.0 who are able to run trade empires, fly personal Titans, and run the oldest and most profitable businesses in the game, some secretive some not.
Given spending and costs, your average players probably make almost nothing to a bil a month, and often match their spending on ships/pvp/etc with that income. The older players that have hoarded up some money or who have assets/infrastructure to make money when they start to run low can usually do a few billion a month or more if they tried. And everything else varies greatly on field of focus and time in the game. Also some people will spend hours a day to reach that 2 billion / month goal, and others will spend maybe 5 hours of maintenance. It really varies. And you will always find people who break a classification one way or the other.
Personally I'd say you're successful if you're having fun and pulling in enough to sustain whatever lifestyle you want to have in EVE. You have to set your own benchmarks, and for each person different people are considered "rich". My definition is very different than most other folks', but just as valid.

Heya,
Isn't 7 months the average for an eve player? It's hard to tell (mostly hhanging around trader friends here)but there are a whole bunch of people out there struggling for that 100million isk figure to start flashing in their wallets.

If it was all our capital it would have been net profit. Obviously not everyone reading this thread is working with funds that need interest paid on them.
Check the OP's questions, they simply asked how much profit you could make in a month. We made 25b in that 3 month period of which some had to be paid out customers 
I interpreted the questioning differently, that doesn't make it wrong

Probably low, considering that 98% of people with large gobs of money are going to have said money invested in assets and projects making more money. I think this was published by CCP once in an economic report and it was silly low. Anyone know?

I would guess that the most profitable (isk per hour of active playing) venture is if you have a large collection of T2 BPOs, in which case you just log in ever so often to update build material market orders, sell orders, and builds, and then occasionally haul them (which could be done by courier contracts.) In all, this venture could easily pull in billions, depending on the t2 BPO collection.
But, baring such a venture, the otions left for the average joe that just started playing eve is active income ventures: missioning, mining, ratting, and exploration, and passive income: research, invention, manufacture and trading.
Active income ventures are crap.
As for the passive income, research though taking the least amount of time and effort, generally provide the least amount of isk in return.
Manufacturing is all about location.
Trading is about the drudgery of updating the damn orders, unless you're in a great location, but then your volume is not so good.
Invention is great, but it does require one to be flexible, and good with figuring out what to invent..
Hrm, I don't know where I was going with this, but ...

Beyond a certain point it all becomes pretty irrelevant.
Way back when ISSO was still around I was making the same ISK per month they were, only I had a lot less ISK then they did at the time. That was my major argument for them doing a crappy job. As a solo pilot doing nothing special I was able to make the same money they did with a lot less starting capital... and they should have had an entire corp (their sales pitch) working to make money.
But yeah, I was well over the 10b mark back then... and I have been several times since. Right now I am WAY too lazy, but I still exceed it some months. Each month it is getting easier and easier to exceed it though, as a very small monthly percentage return is actually greater than 10b for me. Unfortunately my monthly profit has dipped below 1% some months, not quite enough to get me to the 10b mark :(
But for people with small amounts of money, 5-15b, making 10b a month is very impressive if they are able to do it. I think you are the most efficient money maker on these forums Ambo, doubling your money in your IPO. FastLearner is the next most efficient I believe, he does very well for himself. I'm sure he is over the 10b / month mark if you count all his funds.

Originally by: Ambo Beyond a certain point it all becomes pretty irrelevant.
I think Ambo has summed up a simple truth here.
It comes down to a personal drive and comfort level. For me, and many others it seems, being able to pay for GTC's seems to be some sort of minimum bench mark, and I think it's a good one. It's quite convenient that those who choose to do so, can play the game in a way that allows them to do this - and have fun doing it. Not many MMO's offer this.
Going back to what Ambo said, for me the point of irrelevance was paying for my monthly GTC and some pimping of my favourite mission running ships - anything beyond that just seemed a bit of a waste of energy really - and it has been that since I started trading really.
I'm really impressed and inspired by some of the stated monthly profits some people are making in this game. It gives me a new benchmark to shoot for. This has actually turned out to be a very open and interesting thread.

hummm i'd be more interested to know how many accounts are involved in some cases. i remember proton talking about his horde of alts just for market orders (skilling tycoon o_O), i hear stories of one guy arkonor mining using close to a dozen hulks. and of course the t2 ingredients production- although that can be done across all chars of an account with just a few days skilling, but still needs multiple accounts for a "complete" setup. - putting the gist back into logistics |

Indeed, if you need tons of characters to do it then this should be mentioned. As you aren't really making 10b month if it costs you 2-3b just to buy timecards each month for all the chars. You have to subtract the GTC costs for additional chars imo.
I personally don't see how people use so many tycoon chars. I'd go insane trying to keep up with that many orders. Granted I have 4 characters with Tycoon 4... but I use less than 300 total orders across all 4 of them currently and even that number has been slipping downward. Anyone with 1000+ active orders has was more time to spend then I ever have.

I have 4 accounts, one just starting up, doing some market experiments. I pay for 2 accounts with cash, and 2 with GTC.
Right now I have 1100 orders out. 3 chars are at Tycoon V and the rest are training for it.
And the orders aren't too bad to keep up, I've written some software for it ;)

It's not knowing which orders to modify, etc... I can do that in my head as fast as any software I've seen (as they all require exports and such). I just don't have the patience to sit there and manually click on all those orders and to modify the ones that need it. PITA. 300 is a PITA imo. But then I never spent more than 30 minutes at a time modifying orders, even when doing fairly complex stuff and issuing courier contracts, so I've always been lazy...

I gotta agree, I've scaled my order qty back and now instead focus on attempting to control a single line of items that are all related to each other, or affect each other in some way. T2 mins and reactions mostly. Even with the 80% rare distribution, the remaining 20% have a lot of room for movement.
So it's all about massive volume and limiting the number of orders needed.

Only the few remaining need updates and those are being reported to me in a short "todo" list. I do need the order export though. I wish they made an api for that too, cus then my time spent would be a fair ammount shorter.

So, let's say I have a 100 orders, of which 15 need to be updated and the other 85 are still the highest.
Are you saying there is a way to find those 15 orders that need to be updated without going through all 100 orders and doing a 'View Market Details' on each of the 100?

Trying to manage 1000+ orders... I don't think I'd ever be doing anything but updating orders in an endless loop!

No, I'm not saying that. I said the exact opposite, which is my argument for not having so many orders, lol.

Well that's a bit diff if you just leave most of your orders up there for a long period. I used to update every order I had twice daily. You can see why I didn't want 1000+ orders, heh.

Yeah like the other guy with 1300 orders... if you get to a certain amount, you cannot be arsed anymore. My new char is all about doing this more often, but then the margin amounts are alot higher :)
I am very annoyed with the laggy response of the order screen also. When I change one order, it refreshes, then I change my second, everything stalls, I manage to click my 3rd order, try the rightclick menu and boom, it refreshes and the menu doesn't work. Try this for 1000 orders... ----------------- Destiny is not a matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It's not a thing to be waited for - it is a thing to be achieved. |

Quote: Just trying to gauge what some individual upper end income is like for players here.
How much isk per month do you make on average?
There are 3 stages: 1) You grind missions or mine to make isk for skill books. Getting 100 million isk is a major achievement(80% of eve players). 2) Isk comes relatively easily, you do not work too hard at it, you can afford most things you want. Wallet ranges between 1bn and 25bn (very few up to 100bn). 3) You do not make isk, you lose it. You have enough to buy anything you want, and you spend your game time in leisurely pursuits like PvP. Losing Tech2 ships is a non-concern to score a few kills and be in a fun fight. Wallet 250bn+ (less than 1%).
GTC is currently 2.4bn per char per year. So if you are in group 2 or 3 you can most likely play till the end of Eve on multiple accounts, lose a lot of ships, and have fun.
If you use CCP's economic reports the average individual income is around 40m isk per day. Also in general people on these forums are not as rich as they pretend to be.

I can only assume that by "caught" you meant sucked, "fish" you meant phallus and "space" was an allusion to how dark it was.
I'm an investor in your corp, that gives me the right to question your posts.

My wallet is bigger than yours! 
Boys will be boys. Women like to gossip and chat, men like to compare sizes of just about everything.
Wealth comes and goes very quickly in Eve.
Well, it's more a case of this, as for how a group of people find "ranks".
Take 2 boys and give them a pen each. How will they fight it out? Well, they could try and see who can throw the pen the highest.
Boy 1: "Look, I can throw it this high". Boy 2: "Ohh yeah? I can throw it this higher than you". Boy 1: "Ha! I can throw it even higher" Boy 2: "But I can throw it higher too!"
Eventually whomever reaches god, wins.
But take the same situation with 2 girls: Girl 1: "Look, I can throw it into the sky" Girl 2: "Oh yeah? I can too!"
This thread is a classic example of how boys make a social hierachy.

I use 2.5 as 1 character is only being used approximately half of his potential due to internal limitations. We hope to remove them and hit over 2 Billion next month.
In case anyone cares we do T2 invention and manufacturing.

LOL, that was you in the dark?????
On a side note since this is the epeen thread, I made just over 10billion last night playing poker. My pen goes past god.
Also, I plan on losing atleast half that tonight or tomorrow. And on Friday I'll be winning some of that back. with a flip flop happening right up until the 20th when I issue dividends.
