Courier Contracts
Find profitable courier contracts — compare reward vs collateral ROI across regions.
Courier Contract Analysis
ISK Scout's courier engine has simulated 184 courier contracts across 75 region pairs, factoring in gatecamp detection, fail probability from PvP kill density, and margin erosion over expected delivery time. Risk distribution: 3 low-risk, 35 moderate-risk, 146 high-risk. Combined net profit potential 916.5M on 4.40B total collateral, yielding an average collateral ROI of 4523.2%. The highest-ROI contract is LGK-VP V - Moon 3 - True Power Assembly Plant → Amarr VIII at 775011.3%. All figures are precomputed every 5 minutes from ESI market and universe data, and re-simulated when your cargo, fee rate, or collateral settings change.
About this tool
EVE Online courier contracts let you earn ISK without direct trading. You collect a reward to haul a client's cargo to a destination, posting collateral that gets paid out to the client if the cargo is lost. ISK Scout's courier analyzer scans active contracts every 5 minutes, evaluating reward, collateral, volume, and jumps as a single profile — and surfaces collateral ROI (%), ISK per jump, and gatecamp risk. For high-risk routes, contract splitting is recommended: instead of one large collateral wager, break it into multiple smaller contracts so a single loss doesn't blow up your capital. Filter by your ship's cargo capacity and ISK budget, and check the margin-validity window (how long the contract stays profitable before market drift hits).
View full FAQHow courier contracts are analyzed
Each contract is simulated by pulling market orders in both source and destination regions via ESI, running the order-matching arbitrage engine to find realized profit, then subtracting the recommended courier fee. Collateral equals the buy-side investment to protect against theft. Failure probability is derived from the route's aggregated danger score (security status, PvP kill density, gatecamp detection), which then determines the expected loss and risk-adjusted profit. Margin validity predicts how long the current margin stays positive given order-book depth and refresh frequency, so you know how long you have before the contract becomes unprofitable.
