Title: We're All Friend Rite? AKA Skill Training. Post by: Ookii on July 23, 2008, 01:50:29 PM So it dawned upon me that the skill I'm training will be done smack in the middle of work tomorrow. I noticed you guys don't have a thread where someone can post when their skill is done and see if there are any volunteers to login real quick and train the next one up.
My inexperience in EVE leads me to believe this might be a good idea, but who knows. Anyway, anyone want to train a new skill for me at 12:30 PST tomorrow? :awesome_for_real: Title: Re: We're All Friend Rite? AKA Skill Training. Post by: schild on July 23, 2008, 01:53:18 PM Car fire. Hop in one.
Title: Re: We're All Friend Rite? AKA Skill Training. Post by: bhodi on July 23, 2008, 01:54:14 PM The general thing to do is just train a longer one or switch to a second skill in the morning.
That said, I can do this for you. Edit: because it will come up from someone shouting that I'm a goon, I don't have the stomach for scamming, and I wouldn't scam anyone from here even if I did.

The general thing to do is just train a longer one or switch to a second skill in the morning. Well I could certainly do that (although ATM I only have a list of skills Phils told me to train, and the rest of them all shorties for the time being), but wouldn't it be more efficient to do things this way instead of juggling around skill times?

That's just what a goon would say. Title: Re: We're All Friend Rite? AKA Skill Training. Post by: bhodi on July 23, 2008, 02:03:58 PM Yes, generally, it's more efficient to do it that way, but of course it requires someone to log in for you. When you get a little more experience, there are skill branches where you can work on 2 or 3 at the same time and it isn't a big deal. When you're new, it's a real pain in the ass.

Nice one bud ! :) Title: Re: We're All Friend Rite? AKA Skill Training. Post by: Phildo on July 23, 2008, 04:01:41 PM This is a silly thread, in the handy links sticky is a great skill training guide. And you can stagger them like has already been suggested. Don't give out account info on teh internet! And Schild is a tool.
Title: Re: We're All Friend Rite? AKA Skill Training. Post by: Jayce on July 23, 2008, 05:05:00 PM It's no more or less efficient as long as you're never not training a skill. If you do 3/4 of Skill A, switch to Skill B, train it to half, login at night and train the last 1/4 of Skill A, then switch back to Skill B, no time is lost.
Unless you're dealing with implants, which limits you, but I don't (guess?) think you're there yet. Title: Re: We're All Friend Rite? AKA Skill Training. Post by: schild on July 23, 2008, 05:42:24 PM I'm pretty sure I'm not the bored one. Also I just had some kickass cajun. Title: Re: We're All Friend Rite? AKA Skill Training.

Title: Re: We're All Friend Rite? AKA Skill Training. Post by: apocrypha on July 24, 2008, 02:48:49 AM EVEMon (http://evemon.battleclinic.com/) is great for making sure you don't miss skills and have a plan for this kind of thing too. Uses your limited API key so it's safe too.
I tend to make a skill training plan that covers 3 months or so that includes some long skills (although these days ALL my skill trainings are long ones...) so that I always have something useful to quickly switch too before middle-of-the-night skill ends or downtime conflicts etc. Another handy thing I do (cos I'm a bit of an OCD nerd which is why I feel at home on these forums) is when I've got a training plan for a character in EVEMon I export it to clipboard and then paste it into a notepad entry in EVE et voila, in-game handy training plan :awesome_for_real: |
