In my earlier wrap up of my PI challenge, I noted that I was considering running PI on all three characters on one account. I did this. Mainly because I though Mabrick’s claims might have a silver lining if I ran it that way. There’s more posts over there, you should read them. He has some interesting views on Eve.
Back to the follow up. As a reminder, here were the results from the first month. The key point is that I netted about 134m in profits.
Across three characters on the same account, with 4s in Command Center Upgrades and Planetary Consolidation, I ended up netting this:
Not quite triple the total, but I had to run 2 factory planets. And 334m isk ain’t bad. A few thoughts on this.
- I didn’t even have CCU 4 and IC 4 trained at the outset. That took about two weeks or so. So that’s lost income.
- I was also much less serious this time around, and missed more than a few updates by margins of hours or days. Also failed to move some ECUs when I knew I should have. That’s also money lost.
- Due to resource imbalances, sometimes I stockpiled, and sometimes I just hauled and sold. Not sure how that impacted things.
In regards to Mabrick’s original and revised estimates of 500m or 300m/month respectively, I think both are possible if you are willing to run all the characters on an account. With level 4 skills, 300m is more than doable, as evidenced. 500m might be, if you train 5s, pick planets with a bit of luck and wisdom, and pick the right things to produce.
So here it is, with the caveat that you need to use all 3 characters, in no uncertain terms:
Congrats on the Masters. No need to eat crow (sure Mabrick doesn’t see it that way).
Nice write up about PI.
Congrats on getting your Masters dude. Will make life easier on ya :).
with 1 char in low sec I make 344,373,545 in 30 days, with 1 in null I make 589,194,167.
