How should you invest $500m ISK? Share your advice for $15!

For any newbro looking to invest, a low cost, high risk/high reward activity is hunting for Intact Armor Plates in Stain. New players will learn that dying is ok in EVE and will learn the value of using their d-scan effectively, and keeping an eye on local. All invaluable skills for someone who is learning to become an excellent pilot in EVE.

Using a lowly Heron, you are able to make tens of millions fairly quickly in Stain, Paragon Soul, Esoteria regions of Low-Sec. Just be forewarned, YOU WILL DIE to Sabres and other interdictors. These areas of space are hunted very frequently due to the amount of isk other explorers would I would use the remaining isk to buy Small Skill Injectors to get into Cov-Ops IV (so you can use a covert-ops) and train into either an Astero or a Buzzard asap.

The initial investment might be large, but the ROI on flying inexpensive exploration ships in low-sec is impressive.

For ROF (return on fun), pay for a night out on the town with the boys! Buy everyone a Rifter and go do FW or 'yeet fleet' into null-sec using a Noise Filament. A night flying around and maybe catching an unsuspecting Ishtar would be awesome! Memories>Isk.

A safe investment in-game would be, as others has pointed out, limited edition SKINs. These are routinely safe investments for the long hold, as long as you have the 💎✋ for it.

You may well raise your eyebrows, but this is how you can make billions with minimal investment. You can spend 500 mill on :

• a ship, such as a wreathe;

• small skill injectors to boost up your (1) shield skills and (2) evasive manouvering & spaceship command skills (to increase ship agility) and then follow this guide to PROFIT! And since you're stealing from gankers, you don't have to feel guilty about it. WIN - WIN!

I'd invest in ships that give opportunities:

1. A Covert Ops exploration frigate to scan and hack data and relic sites. T2 fitted, that should not be more than ~50 million ISK

2. A T3 Destroyer to blitz highsec combat anomalies which can escalate into DED-sites. A Light Missile Jackdaw or Rail-Hecate can also run the resulting 5/10 DED escalation, although a bit slower than a dedicated cruiser could do it. Such a T3D will usually cost less than 100 million ISK. A tech 3 destroyer can also probe down lost drones and MTUs that often are worth looting.

3. A cruiser that can comfortably run the 5/10 DED escalations with one may get from farming anomalies. an Ishtar or Cerberus can do that for ~250 million ISK. Such a Heavy Assault Cruiser can also reliably run combat missions or complete abyssal pockets.

4. With ~100 million ISK left, the 21 million for the Gas Harvesting skill book and a Venture with Gas Harvester are easily affordable. That goes well with our exploration frigate.

5. If there is ISK left, a Sunesis can be fit to warp in less than 2 seconds and have a cargo hold of 1000 m³ - the perfect ship to ninja-loot valuable wrecks of player ships in lowsec with.

This handful of ships opens up a large variety of gameplay to make ISK with. The "teach a man to fish" concept applied to Eve Online.

So, you've reached your first 500M, and now you're unsure about how to multiply that money.

My first advice is not to invest all your ISK in a single activity. Diversifying your investment can protect you in case something goes wrong.

Trading is an excellent option if you know how to play the market. If you have doubts and you're unsure, it's better not to take risks, or if you do, start very slowly until you learn.

You can also look for contracts in remote regions at reduced prices and transport them to trade hubs to sell at a higher cost. Here's a tool that can help you: https://www.adam4eve.eu/contract_profit.php

If you have research queues available, you can buy BPOs from NPCs, find a suitable station to improve them, and then resell them through contracts at a higher cost. A good example could be BPOs for Fuel Blocks.

With these tips, you can gradually increase your fortune. And keep in mind, there's no method to quickly multiply your ISK. If someone offers you such a thing, it's most likely a scam.

Planetary interaction!
