This guide aims to help those who are intrested in the world of EVE trading take their first steps.

Character Creation: A Prequel

Before we start discussing the character creation it is important to note that no matter how you create your character, he can still pick up all needed skills later on. If you started as a miner you can simply buy the needed trade skills and get going, but a character created with trading in mind will have a head start on some key skills. Remember to strike a good balance between your attributes, in this case charisma will be one of the more important ones. Charisma helps with all trade and social skills.
