It is perhaps the most comprehensive manual created for any computer games ever. A Massively article and a long interview with the author: http://www.massively.com/2010/08/29/eve-evolved-the-industrial-sized-knowledgebase
More than 400 pages of pure quality information and some nice graphics. A must have for any EVE pilots. And the best thing, it's FREE.

I downloaded it, thumbed through it and it seems like a great guide for newbies, but it didn't really give me any pointers.
I'm going to print out a couple chapters though, I hate reading stuff like that on the computer. |

Are you sure you looked at it? Its less a money making guide and much more a general game manual. //insert sig here |

lol the name is not indicative of what it is. ISK stands for something. It's not a 400 page money-making guide. It's a general game guide.

Originally posted by cosy It is a game guide. Gameplay consists of several things, just like mining, manufacturing. It never stated anything about profit. I have to break your dream, but the most profitable legal way to earn ISK is to earn a lot of money IRL, and buy ISK through the PLEX system. |

I'm trying to figure out how anybody is arguing against what cosy originally said. They way I made ISK when there were 10k max logged in was not the same way I made ISK when that hit 20k, 30k, 40k, or more. The more people doing the same thing over the long run drives down the profit - the supply far outreached the demand on many activities, to the point that it has reached the point it has. It is funny too, because each time the market begins to sort itself out - CCP adds in a new "feature" to set everything off balance again. You can follow the patterns. But that aside...aside, not sure how anybody can disagree with what cosy originally said...perhaps because the truth hurts? I miss the MMORPG genre. Will a developer ever make one again?

Originally posted by kurtbarlow Everybody that plays EVE knows what ISK is. Did you notice that I.S.K. appears on the cover and in the prologue before referencing a place you can go to buy GTCs to change into PLEX for ISK? Each chapter starts with the book being called Industrial Black Book - not Industrial-Sized Knowledgebase. Besides, were that the true name - it would be ISKB, given that KB is the common abbreviation for knowledge base...seeing that knowledgebase is actually knowledge base - two words. Much of the information in the book is copyrighted information from CCP themselves with some subjective commentary from the "contributors". It is dismal bait and switch, likely to turn off more people from the game than to attract them - EVE is already overwhelming enough for the average MMORPGer without throwing a 400+ page manual at them. Much of the information is easily found from simply doing the tutorials or trying to do something. The goal of the book is to get people to build up their characters with some friends and head out ot 0.0 to die...it is an ISK making endeavor, for those that contributed to this travesty.
