Setting up - The Trader

The Trader

The first Pilot in the first account that is needed is a Trader.
Regardless of your daily activities, you always need to buy and sell stuff.
Do the Tutorials as well as the Career Agent missions. Each has 10 missions and the 10th for each agent has a special reward.


They supply the needed ISK and Skill Books to get started but another advantage is they let you collect the items that every new player will also get. Do Not sell any of them. Keep them for further reference.

You probably want to do the Military Missions first and get some better ship and guns. Always useful when in space.




After 72 hours you get your account API (although I read somewhere that you could get the API just after creating your account) use the API to get EVEMon and design your training plan.

First aim at the Entrepreneur Basic Certificate. It takes about 12 days and costs 12.66 millions ISK.
During this time, you can select a system where your Corp will be Headquartered. It will be a 0.7 or 0.6 sector with a Station offering a good selection of services and agents.
Start running missions for the local agents to raise your connections and start getting valuable Loyalty Points. You also start trading both in the station buy and sell using market orders but also running trade routes abroad importing and exporting goods. If you find that your first choice of station is not ideal, it is easy to relocate somewhere else at this stage.
You will probably also find out that you need some other skills to get a large transport ship.
Once you obtain your certificate you can either aim at the Entrepreneur Standard Certificate for an extra 12 days and 23 millions ISK or pause this pilot training to start your second Alt.
Buying and selling goods is fine but you can get a better profit with some value added to these goods.
Save enough ISK to fully fund your next pilot. (about 11 millions ISK)
