Guys,
I've always had multiple accounts and can't play EvE without them but up until recently, they've allway done different things. I just started specializing in specific tasks and man does it make this game so much more enjoyable. Some things I've done.
Living solo in a C5 - good isk but can't reliably farm once home site are done. Also has a good amount of risk.
Incursions - Dual boxing in TVP, fun but gets boring after a while and takes away one of the best things of multi-boxing the ability to be independent and not rely on others. Good isk if you have only one or two accounts but you can do a lot better if you have more than two accounts.
Smart boxing Heavens - Good isk around 400-500 mil/hr. Didn't like it, doesn't feel smooth to me. Didn't feel that rewarding to me.
Farming 6/10 escalations - Love it. It's RNG based but decent isk. Most importantly that is safe, fun, and engaging. I can farm these all day and enjoy it. You need a good system to farm in and you're limited to three accounts as it doesn't scale well after that.
Lvl 4 Burners - This is what I'm currently doing and OMFG, Amazing! The isk is Amazing. I'm only putting 300mil worth of ships and fitting on grid and making some of the best isk/hr that I've ever made. I got to do the calculations but its probably around 800 to 1.5 bill per hour. Whats most important though is its fun and engaging, it doesn't feel like a grind. I get bored with afk activities, I need something to keep me engaged. Scales decently with accounts but not linearly like mining or something.
AFK Isthar ratting - I don't find it worth it. It's not engaging and I get bored quickly. The isk/hr doesn't seem high to me. The dread spawns are annoying as hell too. It's an afk activity but you got to pay attention or you'll lose an Ishtar to a dread spawns. I can't do this for a long time and still have a smile on my face. Plus the isk/hr doesn't feel that great. I'm sure it is and just feels like its not because it's a slow trickle across multiple accounts.
Mining - Never again lol, it scales well with accounts but gets boring to me. Not engaging enough for my blood but can be very afk if that's what you like. In my eyes, it has too many cons for the benefits. The reward vs. risk ratio is not good in my eyes. Looking at rorquals your putting multiple billions of isk on grid to make 180-250mill/hr. Its also not an easy to train into. I've never tried rorqual mining though but mining is just not for me.
Things I want to try. Now that I feel like I can make a shit ton of isk reliably I plan on investing in some other activities.
Bombing fleet. I'm thinking about making a bombing fleet. One of the three characters on each account would be an SP farmer to keep the account Omega. This is just for some PvP fun, once the accounts are trained they will be free due to the SP farmer. Might make the SP farmers do something useful though. High sec haulers, incursion runners (Just for fun when I want to run some incursions) idk. I saw a stream the other day were a multi-boxer was bombing excavator drones. Seems fun, doable, and destroying billions of isk gives me a hardon. I can think of a couple of things that would be interesting to bomb.
PI. I have tried PI before and hated it. I spent too much time hauling. I got a set up in mind now that's pretty passive and can still net good isk per month. One character on each account will be an SP farmer + PI. The PI will make enough isk to Plex the accounts and then some. So the skill injector will be for personal use or for more isk. Either way, this should be really passive isk and really good isk.
I really think that skill injectors opened a lot of doors for multiboxing.
Typing at work when I shouldn't be sorry for the grammer mistakes.
