Gas Huffing, as with any mining activity, is fucking boring. But
when I found that c320 Vital Core Reservoir site could bag $50mil plus
in a $7mil fit venture with a full hold on the open market might be
worth my time. A few months later and it is my primary source of income
across all three of my accounts.
I have moved up to Gas Harvesting V, Expedition Frigates, and Covert Ops
(which, compared to mining are very easy skill-trains) and currently
fly a trio of huffers, bringing my ISK/h up to around $160mil/h with Fullerite c320.
In my daily chain-mapping I dig deep in search of quiet or uninhabited
C5 and C6 connections. A dedicated cov-ops scanning ship makes quick
work of signatures. Ideal gas sites (Instrumental and Vital) are pinpointed, bookmarked, the hole is thoroughly scouted, and potential threats are watch-listed.
On
one very lucky occasion I found a group of five sleeper-free Vital
sites in a quiet C5 and went to town on them undisturbed for nearly five
hours (while binging on Always Sunny and pita chips). The total loot at
the end of the day came to around $1.2bil (that's $240mil/h!).
Getting started "ninja-harvesting"
only requires basic knowledge of w-space mechanics and a few hours of
training skills to get a pilot started out on the right foot. The
Venture mining frigate by ORE is a novice huffer's best friend. A simple
$7.5mil fit Venture can draw upwards of $15mil ISK out of each c320
site in twenty minutes - a full ore hold clocking an impressive $55mil.
Having several of these fits available for corpmates when high class gas
sites are spotted can bring in hundreds of millions of ISK to corp and
members each week.
A fit to get you started.
