Changing fortunes
Been a while since my last update, largely because I’ve been flailing around a little trying to find my place in the eve universe. I joined the pirate corp but didn’t manage to get a kill during my couple of weeks there so when the opportunity of a breakout trainer corp presented itself I jumped at the opportunity.
Nearly 2 weeks and still waiting for my first kill…
The rush of pvp is such that you want it all the time like any good drug, although I’m starting to learn that what makes it so special is the waiting inbetween, the hunting of the prey as it were. Not sure this much waiting is usual mind..
In the mean time, I’ve set up an alt (largely to act as a courier had I stayed in low sec pirating) – originally I intended to not really train up any skills other than those that were absolutely necessary, but in the lull of activity I’ve decided to get her involved in my trading experimentation to take the effort off my main to keep dropping the shit picked up back at the trade hubs. To this end, it’s been reasonably successfull – having read a number of forums and doing as much research as I could into trading, I started to get frustrated by the lack of forthcoming info on what exactly to trade. Having spent a week or so doing it, I now understand why – those items for the quick kill are few and far between, certainly for a lower isk character. All I can say is exactly what I read time and time again. Do the research, look and you will find. in less than a couple of weeks, I’ve turned a 9mil starting fund into 55mil, and for the most part that was done by trading only 3 or 4 different items over and over again.
My next venture to supliment my trading during low pvp activity is to look into exploration. This is one of the aspects of eve that had real intrigued me when doing the starter missions, so figure I’ll go back and look at it again. Watch this space.
