ISK is not everything in EVE. But certainly, it can help you - especially as a new player. How can you earn a good chunk, maybe even 1 billion ISK? Do it like Bone_z and find expensive things in space, scoop them to your cargo hold and sell them for a nice profit!

There are so many ways in EVE, it is all up to you and your creativity!

While you might be happy about 1 billion as a new player, can you earn more as a veteran? If so, how? Fetouros Kousou shows how you can earn 2 billion ISK per hour in a C6 wormhole with a Naglfar and a salvager pilot. Check also Gustav Mannfred’s video about using a Loki for C3 wormhole sites.
