View source for ISK faucet

[[Category:Glossary]]

An "[[ISK|ISK]] Faucet" refers to any mechanic where [[ISK|ISK]] enters a players wallet from a non-player source i.e. No player loses [[ISK|ISK]], but one player gains [[ISK|ISK]].

This causes inflation within the economy, as the total amount of [[ISK|ISK]] in the universe increases, but the amount of goods in it remain the same (or decrease).


== Examples: ==
* Selling to NPC Buy-Orders (Trade Goods, Dogtags)
* Claiming on [[Insurance|Insurance]]
* Receiving Bounties from killing NPCs (not killing Players with bounties)
* Mission [[ISK|ISK]] Rewards

== Common Myths ==
* Selling goods to another player is not an [[ISK|ISK]] Faucet. It is an [[ISK|ISK]] Transfer (in fact, it is an [[ISK|ISK]] Sink as far as taxes are concerned).
