With the high cost of higher grade modules and the skill books to diversify your skill tree it's easy to burn through all of your ISK and find yourself in the poor house.
Don't worry, I have great news!
I just saved a ton of isk by switching to Aurum! |

i bought 2 merc packs during previous build, one to get in the beta, the other for the MAG drop suits. I am using up my aurum until I have my desired isk goal then switching to isk only items. |

Oh you.
On a related note, it's pretty weak that we don't have ISK BPOs, no matter how expensive. |

Agreed.
On the plus side you can use the starter fits for a free militia assault suit bpo, a free assault rifle bpo, a free sniper rifle bpo, a free swarm launcher bpo, etc... My skinweave alt purchased all of the BPOs & moded the anti-armor fitting since they forgot to seed the militia swarm launcher bpo. |

I'm thinking once we are able to sell the salvage we pick up, the ISK flow will be a little bit better. As it stands now, I am constantly running out, and my suit isn't even that expensive. |

The issue with AUR gear is that they carry more CPUs than the related ISK weapons |

Take another look at them. They're higher tier weapons that have lower skill requirements. Powergrid & cpu is essentially the same. |

Its quite ok for myself at the moment but its still hardto keep tanks going on. And no im not talking about crappy militia tanks. But oh well i got a good corp who sponsors me with tanks for corp matches if they are needed. And they didnt regret to invest around 2.7 million ISK into me. The problem mainly is that the gear that people are using are still crap and dont make a good payout at the end. We will see a change in around 2-3 weeks cause then people are actually done with getting the skillbooks which they need and can save up to actually afford the better gear. |

Buying skillbooks with Aurum would be awesome. I hope CCP reads this and contemplates the idea. They don't have to put them in the Skill menu itself, but definitely in the Marketplace. It sucks that the limit on leveling the skills I want is more from getting the ISK for the books. And honestly, some of the staple stuff is way too damn expensive (~400,000 to learn how to THROW GRENADES?). |

That's exactly what a good corporation does. Skill books don't need an AUR counterpart -- once we have the player market we'll be able to sell things and get the isk we need to maintain our own style of play or help our corpmates achieve theirs. |

On the subject of purchasing Skillbooks with Aurum: Some people might call that "Pay to Win" |

I'd argue that Corporations giving players money to buy their own skill books balances this very efficiently.
Also, the Aurum can't be used to buy the skill points that you invest into those skills, or to supersede the skill point cap. |

Actually, the AURUM only boosters make you get 1.5 times more than you ought to, and according to CCP, 'Don't make you hit the cap faster.' |

Have to agree with this. As nice as it would be with the current payouts, it would be a huge advantage over those that didnt have Aurum. |
