My August EVE Economic Update
stargrace 
I wasn’t playing much EVE at the beginning of August, so my ISK making chart remained mostly empty – and then when I got back into the swing of things I decided I should start up a 3rd steady account to play along with my other two – so that’s exactly what I did. I had been training the account for some time already, it’s an old one I had from 2010, but had stayed at the alpha level. I used ISK to plex the account.
Still, I made over a billion ISK for the month even with my limited game play. I did some mining, a little ratting, and because there was a lovely electric storm for a few days I was able to get a lot of hacking done. I debated if I wanted to sell everything or keep it for crafting, but in the end, I sold it. Next round I’ll be hanging onto the bits though. Things are getting expensive, and I’d rather craft it all myself.
At the end of the month I was in a strange frame of mind where I decided I should sell off some of my mining ships, which I instantly regretted and re-purchased at the beginning of September. Still trying to work myself out of that debt at the time of this post. I’m not sure why I buy / sell ships depending on my moods and whims, I should just hang onto them for the future when I change my mind, because I almost always do.
My market character is almost done training to fly a blockade runner, and I’m thinking it might be time to get back into market trading. For now she’s been hauling my PI that I drop off weekly (I have 2 characters living at a Freeport Wormhole who do PI and nothing else) and I also use her to run hauling missions when the daily requires 50LP. I don’t know what I’ll train up next on her.
On the 3rd account my character is able to fly mining barges and exhumers – but I’ve downgraded the exhumers because of the cost and the fact that there’s a lot of gankers around. I mine slower – but safer. I’m OK with that. We’ll just have to see what September brings.
Fly your way! o7
