Blueprints

What you'll find here

Every product that can be manufactured, with the blueprint behind it. Each BPO page lists the material bill, the skills a manufacturer needs, and the time the job takes. There's also a reverse lookup: start from a material and see every blueprint that consumes it — the quickest way to understand what a given input is worth.

How to use it

1. 1

   Browse by market group. The index is the market tree filtered to items that have a BPO, so every entry is something you can actually make.

2. 2

   Or search by name. The search box jumps straight to a product you have in mind.

3. 3

   Read the BPO page. Materials, the skills required to run it, and the time the job takes at the relevant efficiency.

4. 4

   Reverse-lookup a material. Open a material's page to see every blueprint that uses it — useful when you're pricing an input or deciding what to produce.

EVE context

A blueprint is the recipe for anything manufactured in EVE: the materials it needs, the skills to run it, the time it takes. There are two kinds. A blueprint original, a BPO, has unlimited runs and, for Tech 1 items, is bought on the market, where NPC-seeded orders run 300+ days and player resells under 90. A blueprint copy, a BPC, carries a fixed number of runs, expires when they are used up, and can only be traded through contracts.

Blueprints are where the economics of a product live. The material list is the cost floor: what the product is worth if you strip it back to raw inputs. Traders and manufacturers argue about that number constantly, because the gap between a product's material cost and its market price is the entire industry margin.

This tool lets you read that relationship from either end. Start from a product and see which BPO makes it and what it costs in materials, or start from a material and see which products consume it. Either direction is the question every industry pilot asks before committing ISK to a production run.
