A little more about boosters

The most popular is the Blue Pill - booster that allows you to more effectively use shield booster. A major component for it is a gas Amber Cytoserocin.

This gas is produced in a group of systems, 8-TFDX, B-E3KQ, BR-6XP, G5ED-Y, O-LR1H, UL-4ZW, Y5J-EU. In the same place in space, dangle agents who in exchange for gas to give boosters BPC (Standard). These are sold only through the contracts and cost up to 10KK. Gas needed for the exchange, worth about 2KK. BPC for more powerful boosters (Improved) mined in battle and cost from 15KK, and Strong from 140KK. But they still need to get, and this is not simple.

Idea: a couple of rookie on Ventures will dig the gas and exchange it to BPC

Bad news: agent give BPC only once to one character :(. The second point – in nulls gas sites are usually protected by NPC, sometimes very seriously. So before you harvest gas you need to clear site from the enemies.

Another problem - you can't harvest gas on trial account (I hope it's not a problem for you). And sell the resulting BPC too. But trial chars can exchange the gas to BPC.

But if you want to try ...

So, if you want to gain experience of low and nulls fly and make a bit isks, a sin not to take advantage.

First of all, there are ladar sites w/o rats even in nulls. As example: Pale Nebula (Assilot, gas Viridian Cytoserocin). There are such signatures for other types of gas.

You need scout with minimal skills:

• Mechanics 3
• Jury Rigging 3
• Afterburner 3
• Warp Drive Operation 1
• Astronautics Rigging 1
• High Speed Maneuvering 1

Actually the first three needs only to learn last 2. We need them for fiting microwarp drive and rigs for ship velocity. Fourth will give us the ability to set warpstabs.

And miner:

• Gas harvesting skills
• skills from shield branches – you need fit shields extensder, booster, hardener
• Mechanics 3
• Jury Rigging 3
• Shield Rigging 1
• Hull Upgrades 1

Fly to the nearest constellation booster and back of Jita - about an hour. To the other can be a bit longer, well, two hours. The route goes through nulls, the locals do not like guests, but they are few.

Full ore cargohold has 500 units of gas it cost about 5KK isk. Also you can exchange first portion of gas to BPC, it cost up to 10KK. Actually agents gives you the BPC with 10 runs, it cost less 2-2.5KK, but it’s easy to mix up ;). This is kind of scam but it is allowed. Usually there are 4 agents. You, and your alt-scout – you will have 8 BPC, up to 80KK, so 85KK per one little trip. Is it not good enough for rookie?
