EVE Online

i restarted  EVE, from scratch. i played 2 years ago, (can't help comming back) new account new game new everything. but i find myself with the same problem i had 2 years ago.

how can i track my skill training time? other than EVEmon or just going to the site every time.

it seems that i sometimes spend 12 hours not training anything (which is a complete waste) just because i cant remember when it was suposed to end

how do you guys track it? not its not bad my next skill will finish training wednesday at 9AM so i wont be sleeping. but ill be at work... ugh thats 8 hours of no skill training till i get home.

evemon is the best http://evemon.battleclinic.com/
and if you use linux you can try http://gtkevemon.battleclinic.com/

is it safe and/or legal  though? i mean i am assuming you have to put your account name and password in a 3rd party application.

What i do is i have evemon and eft installed on both my home and work computers... when i see that a skill is going to end while im at work before i leave for work i setup another skill to train... and then redo the skill when im playing so that i can change it when its done... i usually do the short skills while im playing and when im sleeping or at work set up longer skills... in the end they all take the same amount of time to get done... but this way i have more control over it and i dont miss a skill training..

Evemon is the best for out of game skill planning... but there is also the new ingame certificates that work along the same line you just cant set up a skill plan.. but you can look and see what helps what...

yes evemon is safe it is sanctioned by eve and helped by them with the api codes...

I use

evestatus.ath.cx/

It's an addon for FF that shows wich skill is training  for how long and has a sound alert when finish.

cool thanks

though i have a mac at work evemon not mac suported.

It doesn't require your username or password. EVE-Mon and many other EVE tools use the limited API key that each character recieves from CCP for just these types of functions. It provides access to certain character information in an xml download format and the apps just import this so no security risk.

Some EVE apps do ask for the full api key which is a little bit risky but still much safer than giving out your account info.

Also EVE-Mon has a feature that allows you to set a skill plan and will tell you when each skill in that plan will be done training (with special note of those that will finish during downtime). You can use this to make sure that the skills you want to train are done when you are able to be at the keyboard to switch them.

Even your full API key isn't much of a security risk, IMO.  Both keys only grant read-only access - no app that uses either API key can actually *do* anything, it can just see more about your character with the full API key.

The limited key only exposes basic info - skills, implants, SPs, personal wallet balance.  The full API key basically lets anyone who has it see all your character data - wallet transactions, market orders, research, where you're at, etc.  Not stuff you want to give out to just anyone but if it's compromised it isn't going to fuck you over.  Also, you can invalidate either / both keys at any time and generate new ones.

Ohhhhh ( i just did some API key research) nifty way to get stats on your character and/or display them on some sigs

i got it now how it works

thanks all for your help
