I’ll update this as feedback comes in on errors or corrections. So… in increasing order of wealth per time increment, here’s a work in progress. If your measure of fun is ISK per hour, then you’ll want to find your own, better, more personalized answers than these, but this is perhaps still a standard against which to compare your own income-generating activities, and a place to look for next level possibilities. Of those who engage in in-game ISK earning, most choose mining and/or ratting. That’s a topic for another post, however, and almost all players engage in some sort of PvE activity to fund their fun, and many (I hope) derive significant Fun per Hour from the effort. The correct measure is Fun per Hour, which puts PLEXing for ISK (rather than ISKing for PLEX) at the very top of the Fun per Hour meter for most players. It is a terrible mistake to measure your success in EVE Online in wealth (ISK + the ISK value of “stuff”) per Hour. Isn’t at all clear what activities generate the most wealth per play interval, and how I can know if I’m doing something terribly wrong. Everyone should be familiar with Altrue’s EVE Online Careers Chart.
