Skilling for profit

[Norbert]

As i no longer have need for this info i thought i would open it to the masses .

To achieve a good return on this I would advise 40+ inteligence, as higher int allows more skill gain per tt burned. Also there are other area's to skill for gain but this i found the easiest.

Scan Mining bots and globsters on TI with tt scanners, do this until you have over 500 skill points in scan mutant or scan robot - sell scan skills rinse and repeat. The break even at my intelligence was around 4200%, allowiing me to skill over for free building - analysis, electronics, probing, computer use, dexterity, perception, genetics (this ones a doozy was around 15k%), biology....
So i would scan information chips - stack up sciences and other skills which were pure gravy .

Note - globsters and mining bots have low aggro range - so you can skill on them to your hearts content.

As Far as the Miners go .. I know
Spent a well few hours scanning my butt of on them

Used to take them for a walk to the coastline, unlucky me last time I checked the place was infested with Cornundacauda

Nice.
Is there any difference in skillgain in scanning big and small mobs? Ie Arneatrox vs Snablesnot.

Animals i scanned while that information skill was still high, it seemed i got more gains from snab females young. However this was scanning from 0 skill to 500 - rinse and repeating, and i was initially looking at frequency of skill gains - so could be bigger mobs are less frequent but bigger skill gains.
Though scan animal skill went down a lot, these i mentioned are way better return per time invested.

Risking to have the stoopid hat put on me, I find your post a bit cryptic
I get the general idea, but some parts didn't quite hit home in my little head:

"The break even was 4200%" - I don't quite get this... 4200% of what?

"So i would scan information chips" - get an information skill chip, put it on the ground and then scan it?

While selling skill, set buyout to 4200% TT of the skill implant you are seling

But...if too many people will be scanning, scanning skills price will drop and it will be impossible to break even

[waperboy]

Thus, this post by itself ruined the possibility
