 Alpha to Omega by regional trading!


Update after 3 days

Start of the challenge: 23.08.25

Wealth after 3 days: 

  • Wallet: 8 million ISK
  • Inventory: 1 million ISK
  • Sell orders: 143 million ISK
  • Provision against sell orders (25%): -36 million ISK
  • Open courier contracts: 98 million ISK
  • Provision against contracts (25%): -25 million ISK
  • Total: 189 million ISK


My main effort over the last couple of days was to improve my spreadsheets.

I created a list of items and I'm now able to filter directly for items that fit my requirements regarding gross profit margin, number of days where orders have been filled during a specific time frame and minimum gross profit in ISK. 
Still a lot to improve but it's working for now. 

To reflect the higher taxes and fees in my accounting I increased the provision against sell order value and contract value from 20% to 25%.
Taxes and fees have a much bigger impact for an alpha character in comparison to an omega character. 

-----------------------------

Goal short-term: Plexing the account by trading and having at least the same amount of ISK in wallet + sell orders that is required to instantly buy another 500 Plex (1 month Omega offer)

Goal mid-term: Plexing the account by trading and having least the same amount of ISK in wallet + sell orders that is required to instantly buy another 1200 Plex (3 month 20% Omega offer)

At current prices (5.8 million ISK per Plex) I need around 2,9 billion ISK to plex the account (short-term goal).
As my short-term goal is to plex the account AND having the same amount of ISK available (either in wallet or in sell orders) I need a wealth of 6 billion ISK with current Plex prices to reach my short-term goal.

Tools: The tools I will be using are the Eve Online Excel Add-in and Evetycoon.


The challenge is considered to be completed and will end when the mid-term goal is reached.

Alpha to Omega by regional trading! Hi there, inspired by Oz 's videos about station trading and later on by  Croda 's blog about regional trading I tried both approaches. I did the alpha-to-omega challenge doing station trading the way Oz describes in his videos and it worked very well. Some time after that I switched to regional trading after seeing an interview with Croda in Oz' twitch show. I plexed my account doing regional trading as well. What I have not tried yet was to start right away with regional trading as a complete fresh alpha character and trying to plex this account. This blog is about my attempt to achieve that.  Here are the rules and setup for this challenge: I will not send any money or Plex from my main account, so starting completely fresh. I use one account with 3 characters. A buyer in Jita, a seller in Dodixie, a seller in Amarr Limitation 1: Only 17 Sell Orders (max. for alpha) per character (34 in total = 2 x 17) Limitation 2: High sales tax (7,5...
