Business Thursday: capital BPOs

Posted on 18:00 by Unknown
Researching blueprints is a commonly known ISK making enterprise and I clearly didn't invent hot water here.

4 months ago I started researching 10 Naglfar BPOs. The unresearched BPOs are sold by NPCs for 1.8B. I researched 2 ME, 1 PE and put them on contracts in Jita for 2.8B. 4 already sold in 2 days, so I elevated their price a bit.

Since I did the research in lowsec stations, I had no tower costs, risks or work. Practically I made 9B for a few jumps - and having 18B locked down for 4 months.

The other Dreadnought blueprints are also profitable, though less. You can get 700M for researching Revelation and Moros and 500M for Phoenix. It seems the expensive blueprint research isn't that competitive market so you can join. While the profit in ISK is large, the profit/capital is low, mere 10%/month, while Catalyst blueprints get 100%/month profit, granted only 30M/month net income instead of 250.

So if you have lot of ISK lying around and you want to turn it into more ISK slowly but surely, maybe the research of expensive blueprints is for you.


Yesterday I did a good deed: after ganking a miner, but failing to kill the pod due to swift Concord intervention, I noticed that the pod is still there. It happens with AFK miners, many of them lost their pods after floating in space for 15 minutes. But this one did not float: after some time he started orbiting the same rock he was orbiting while having his ship. So I reported him as bot. The customer support told that bot reports should be done using an in-game tool: "open the character’s show info window and in the top left corner, right-click to bring up a drop down menu. At the bottom of that menu is the option to report the character as a bot. Simply click that button and once submitted, our team will investigate that character more thoroughly and determine if they are in fact using scripts to play EVE.". If you see a bot, please do the same, we don't need them here.

Significant improvement made on the dual-ganking guide, I designed a new dual (and fleet) ganking method that greatly increases your chances to get the podkill in narrow situations. It also helps you keep your pod and maybe even some ships if you rin into a trap.
