In my next post I’m going to be releasing part of the Eve Mining Guide that talks about the different skills in Eve that can assist you with your mining processes as well as refinery. I will also be releasing a completely free skill plan for everyone to download that will give you the best route of training your mining skills for the best possible profits.
To use these skill plans, you will require a program called EveMon. This small tool can be really helpful in monitoring your character’s progress as well as planning out it’s skill trees for the future. Once I release the free skill plan, you will be able to import it into EveMon and attach it to your character. The tool will then notify you when you need to train a new skill and what skill.
How to Download
First of all, we need to download EveMon. To get the latest version of EveMon, click this link. On the right hand side of this page you will see a link for the latest version of EveMon, as seen in the image below:
EveMon Download
You will be wanting to download the “EVEMon-install-1.2.8.1385.exe”, note that the numbers on the end might be different if the version has been updated, but this is still the download you want.
How to Setup EveMon
Once you have downloaded and installed EveMon, we need to get it setup, ready for planning your characters’ skills. First of all, fire up EveMon then go through the following steps to get your character setup and ready.
- Click File > Add Character. This will bring up the following box:
EveMon Add Character Box
- Click the link next to “Get your API details from:”, it will require you to login with your eve account. Then copy your UserID and API Key from the web page, into the boxes in EveMon.
- Next, click the button with the three dots next to the character box. When you do this, EveMon will connect to the Eve Online website and pull out the details of your characters. Once it has done this, select your character’s name and click ok. You have now setup your character.
It’s as simple as that to setup, however, if you have any problems getting it setup, don’t hesitate to leave a comment on this post and I will do my best to try help you out. Or, you could check the EveMon Forums for support.
Get EveMon to Send Updates to Your Email or SMS
You can now even setup EveMon so that it sends you updates and notifications about your skills in your email and SMS so you can always be uptodate on where your character is at. For more info on this, click here.
In the next post of my Eve Online Mining Guide I will be giving away the free skill plan along with explaining the most important skills included within that plan.
