But, if you have to keep an eye on tiny humans in real life, you, personally, can ignore the "lost" income from not running missions or PVPing. You, personally, don't have the opportunity to do those things, so mining is likely the most valuable use of your time.<br />Xmashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10512911190985990931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430175273066918725.post-25464653902196318452013-01-30T22:47:40.151-05:002013-01-30T22:47:40.151-05:00You're right - that's embarrassing.

That's what I get for trying to start a post and then finishing it like two weeks later without enough editing. :)<br /><br />I use the ISK per Hour right now in determining what to build, but I think I'll want to take that in the direction of the specialized spreadsheets you describe in your blog.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561998031457981240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430175273066918725.post-76279084753383144152013-01-30T16:58:29.908-05:002013-01-30T16:58:29.908-05:00Your path to monetization is off.

The open market (usually Jita) sets the ISK/hr of that activity.<br /><br />The savings comes from freight time. By having the stash locally (especially in very very high volumes for low-ends), then you save the money/time that would be spent freighting.<br /><br />There is nothing technically wrong with the traditional industrial path Mine->build->sell, but the accounting for mineral cost should still use the price you'd pay on the open market. Otherwise you WILL lose ISK, since you could have saved the extra time and just sold the raw materials.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512094210839495098noreply@blogger.com
