Procurement

Procurement Proficiency at placing remote buy orders on the market. Level 1 allows for the placement of orders within the same solar system, Level 2 extends that range to systems within 5 jumps, and each subsequent level then doubles it. Level 5 allows for placement of remote buy orders anywhere within current region.

Note: placing buy orders and directly buying an item are not the same thing. Direct remote purchase requires no skill.

Procurement allows you to place a buy order at a station, without being docked there. Each level of procurement lets you place buy orders at stations further from where you are:

  • Level 1: same solar system
  • Level 2: within 5 jumps
  • Level 3: within 10 jumps
  • Level 4: within 20 jumps
  • Level 5: whole region

It is not worth training to level 5 as 20 jumps will cover most, if not all, of any region, making the ‘whole region’ option useless.


Procurement works pretty well with Visibility. Training Procurement without training Visibility extremely limits your possibilities.
