Producing crap

Posted on 23:00 by Unknown
Do you know what material research is?
How high is your research skill?
Do you have advanced mass production 5?
Production efficiency 5?
Do you know where to get datacores to T2 BP research?

No? Then keep away from production n00b!

Or not. Even with low skills and even less knowledge you can efficiently and profitably produce items. Of course not titan rigs, but items that serious players consider worthless crap. My item is trauma rocket. Yes, that newbie rocket:
As you can see the materials cost is 3.4 ISK/rocket and they sell for 7-7.5, netting me 3.5-4 ISK profit on every rocket. I can run 4 concurrent jobs and a 1500 batch takes about 5 days to complete, so I'm printing 3.7*1500*100*4/5 = 440K/day.

Low isn't it? But the keyword is "printing". I have no opportunity cost on the manufacture as I can't produce anything worthy. My alternative is leaving my crafting slots empty. It's passive income, why leave it there? I have little to none competition due to no serious player would bother crafting this item.

So let's start the basics of manufacture: You need materials, a blueprint and a station with slots. The NPC stations have lot of slots. Some of them are empty, the rest are used. Of course you won't find empty on Jita, but a few jumps travel won't kill you. The simple items created from blueprints are sold by NPCs for low cost. They are original blueprints, meaning they are usable forever. Copies on the other hand has licensed production numbers. The crafting interface will tell you the material requirements, you get them and off you go. Don't let these slots go waste!

Some tips:
  • The skill "production efficiency" decreases material cost
  • The skill "industry" decreases crafting time
  • The skill "mass production" gives more manufacture slots
  • You can also research production time decrease, the "research" skill helps that.
  • There are "beancounter" implants  that decrease research time. They go to different slots as the +attribute implants.
This Covetor seems to be selling below material price, because "perfect" is not perfect, it just refers to you having perfect skills. The NPC sold blueprint has 10% waste, removing this would decrease material cost to 10/11 of the current: 23M.
You can decrease material costs by doing material research on the blueprint. The "metallurgy" skill makes it faster. Only a few stations provide that service, you can find them by starting the research and on the "pick installation" window switch to "region", showing all installations in the region. Now all you need is one with less than 20 days waiting queue. Good luck! The skill "laboratory operations" increases the number of available researches.

Business report: buy+sell+cash = 1.68B (0.49B gift)
