> Well, you don’t have to spend 1.8 bil ISK for an SOE Loot Box from the Market… I bought 2 Mastery packs from the Eve Store: Level 1 Mastery = $10 15 Days Omega Genius ‘Boost’ Cerebral Accelerator = +12 Attributes Historic SOE Skin Crate Level 2 Mastery = $20 30 Days Omega 100 PLEX 250,000 SP Genius ‘Boost’ Cerebral Accelerator = +12 Attributes Historic SOE Skin Crate The top row of items in the Redeem Window are from those two packs… Omega Time and PLEX are automatically…

Which means the skins have monetary value and can be used to buy PLEX and save you real money when buying Omega or other NES items.
