Q:
How long does it take to train in a new skill?
A: It varies. Generally, lower level skills are quick to
train. They gradually take more time the higher level they are.
Some might take minutes, others will take many days or weeks.
Q:
What determines how long it takes
to train in a skill?
A: Your attributes. Each skill will have a
primary and secondary attribute assigned to it. The higher the
points you have in these attributes, the quicker you will train in the
skill. You can see your attributes on the character sheet and you
can view the attributes assigned to each skill by right clicking the
skill on your skills list and selecting "show info".
Q:
Do skills train while I'm offline?
A: Yes. Skill training happens in real Earth time
so even when you aren't playing, you are still training. A recent
addition to EVE Online was the skill training queue so it is wise to set
up your queue so that you are always training in the skills that you
want even while you're toiling away at work!
Q:
Is it possible to train in all
skills?
A: Sure. If you spend the rest of your life playing EVE
Online then maybe you could train in every single skill to the highest
level. You might want to do other things though so I wouldn't
worry about accumulating skills just to have them.
Q: Is
there an easier way to manage all my skills?
A: Yes, thank goodness. A player recommended and EVE Online
approved application to manage skills is
EVEmon.
This is an offline program that takes your character information and
allows you to play with your skills in a "what if" scenario and has a
skill build feature that lets you save various builds. It is a
valuable resource that makes skill management quite a bit easier.
