There are several things you need to know about mining, and at EVE ISK Guide we are going to go through them for you. First its the mining skills, second is knowledge about the ore and lastly knowledge about the mining lasers.

Eve ISK Guide – The Mining Skills

• Mining (industry skill category) is a rank 1 skill, which means its the easiest skill you can train if you have the correct attributes. For mining intelligence is secondary and memory is primary. Each level in mining gives you 5% extra mining yield from each mining laser you use.

• Astrogeology (science skill category) is a rank 3 skill, which means it takes three times as long to train than the mining rank 1 skill. Its primary attributes are intelligence and memory. Similar to the mining skill it gives you a 5% extra yield per mining laser you have equipped. Additionally you need the science skill (science skill category rank 1) and mining skill at level 4 to be able to train the Astrogeology skill.

• Deep core mining (industry skill category rank 6 requires mining level 5 and Astrogeology level 5). This skill is required to operate the deep core mining lasers that are used to mine the ore Mercoxit which refines for the mineral Morphite used in production of technology level two items. Deep core mining is not being used much at the moment because sufficient quantities of Morphite to satisfy present demand for Morphite can be met through normal refining of Arkonor, Spodumain and dark ochre.

Eve ISK Guide – Ore

• As a rule of thumb, ores are alphabetically ordered meaning Arkonor may deliver the most expensive minerals and Veldspar are the least valuable. Exceptions from that is Spodumain and Mercoxit. Spodumain is classed below the Crokite and above the Dark Ochre. Mercoxit is a bit or an unknown, at least until demand for Morphite goes up.

• Each ore has a different volume. Veldspar has a volume of 0.1 while Arkonor has a volume of 16. The volume affects the mining yield of the lasers and the amount you can carry in your cargo hold.

Eve ISK Guide – The Yield

Why do I get 420 Veldspar per mining cycle but only 140 Pyroxeres?

A normal Mining laser 1 has 40 units yield per mining cycle (1 minute). Skills affect the yield so:

• Level 1 mining skill gives 5%: 40 * 1.05 = 42.
• Level 4 mining skill gives 20%: 40 * 1.2 = 48.

Adding Astrogeology into the formula you get with mining level 4 and Astrogeology level 3:

• 40 * 1.2 *1,15 = 55,2.

The outcome of these formulas is the total amount of cubic meters you can mine. So if your yield is 48 units per minute you mine 48 m3 to your cargo hold. As you read in “the ore” you noticed that Veldspar takes up 0.1 units in volume. This refers to the amount of cargo space Veldspar takes. If you mine 48 m3 per minute and each unit of Veldspar takes 0.1 m3 your net yield of Veldspar is 480 per minute. If you are using two mining lasers you get twice as much.

Now the simple rule is to divide the total yield of your mining laser to the volume the ore takes. Arkonor with a yield of 50 is 50/16 = 3.125. And since you can not mine 0.125 units you gain a net amount of 3 Arkonor per minute. You have to yield 64m3 per minute to get 4 units of Arkonor per cycle.

Also with the advent on Mining upgrades and Rigs it is possible to fit your ship to increase the yield of your lasers.

Eve ISK Guide – How To Increase Refining Efficiency

• Train up skills like ‘Refining -2% waste’ and ‘Refining Efficiency -4% waste’. You can also train up efficiency in every mineral such as ‘Veldspar Processing -5% waste’

• Good standing with the stations owning corporation also increases your refining efficiency, you can raise this by running agent missions for this specific corporation.

• Station equipment also affects refining efficiency to see refining equipment just click your recycle window and it will say on the left side of the screen highest station equipment is 50%

• Each ore needs a certain amount to be refined for example Veldspar needs 333 of Veldspar to be refined at any one time

Eve ISK Guide – Where To Find Ore

Ores are distributed across the Eve universe by region and security rating. In fact, on the server, 0.0 space is actually 0.0 to -1.0. This information is ‘hidden’, so as to make it harder to find the rare ores which only spawn in the very low security systems, there are exceptions to this though. Asteroids contain the Ore, and asteroids can be found in Asteroid belts in most systems, if you visit an asteroid belt and there are no rocks there then the belt may well have been mined away. EVE re spawns asteroid belts in bulk so the following day it may well be replenished.

Veldspar and Scordite are overly abundant in virtually every region, even though these ores may be mined out in specific systems. Plagioclase and Omber exist in Gallente, Caldari and Minmatar space, while Amarr space is mostly devoid of these ores. Amarr space holds Kernite and Pyroxeres. Jaspet, Hemorphite and Hedbergite are very rare in systems above 0.4. The other ores are only common in 0.0 and ‘below’, meaning deeper out in 0.0 space.

If you want to upgrade your weapons and ships then you need to build ISK income streams that can fund your desired enhancements for your frigates and other ships – mining is a reliable and easy ISK making scheme that can quickly build you the necessary cash.

Eve ISK Guide – Mining Tips

If your beginner your mining equipment and ships will be of cheap quality so it would be best to search and harvest the lower grade ores for starters, then when you have gathered sufficient cash you can upgrade your mining lasers to mine the higher quality ores for bigger returns on ISK profits.

Another important tip for newbies is to start clear of low level secuity systems where Pirates are likely to be lurking. The last thing you need is to have all your precious ore and potential profits being pilfered leaving you with nothing but frustrating and bankruptcy.

One rule of thumb is to stay within 0.8 to 1.0 (or even higher) this will ensure that you’ll keep your profits. When you have the enough cash and have made the weapon upgrades on your frigates then you can tackle the lower level systems and search for the more lucrative ore in the asteroid belts.

To help maximise your mining profits it is recommended to download a EVE online mining guide. These manuals contain secret strategies and proven techniques that expert EVE gamers use to make billions of ISK by mining for ores.

Invest In This

Mining

Mining is one of the simplest activities in the game. You go out in an asteroid belt, you start your mining lasers, you launch your mining drones (if you have any), and you haul the ore you mine in a station to be used later. It’s a boring activity which appeals to some people since it leaves you with time to do something else such as chat with corpmates, make strategic plans, or anything else which requires a modicum of concentration. You will want to progress to the Hulk Mining Ship and head to 0.0 space to mine the best materials. Mining can be boring at times, but it is very rewarding.

Mission Running

There are many types of missions for mission running, which we will go into detail later on. The main missions you will find for mission running are courier, trade, kill and mining missions. To be honest the rewards in the beginning are pretty poor, but if you have a friend or someone from your corp with you, it can be a more interesting experience. As you increase your standings you wil be able to take on more rewarding missions. Generally rewards are pretty low until you hit L3 with an agent. Overall Mission running can be fun, but not as rewarding as other Isk making techniques.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing is one of the best ways of making Isk in Eve Online. Eve Online players are always wanting to buy items to further themselves or there ships. And of course replacing ships lost in battle. You can be the one to supply them will these goods which in return they will supply you with their ISK. The only real problem with Industry in Eve Online is that to make items you need to get your hands on blueprints, these blueprints can cost a lot and it can be time consuming researching them.

Trading

In a nutshell, trading is buying something for a loew price in one region and then selling it for a higher price in a different region. Sounds simple enough, but in fact this is probably the hardest, yet most profitable path to go down. Technically you could try to buy and sell at the same station, but you would be lucky to see a good return in this. Isk can be lost as quickly as it is earnt in this area so make sure you are prepared before taking this path.

Ratting

Ratting is basically going around asteroid belts hunting down enemy NPCs. This can be good for new characters to start with, as generally you will only find a few of them together and they are VERY easy to kill. But if you really want to get into ratting, you will need to be prepared to go into low sec and maybe even 0.0, to reap the best rewards.

Exploration

The shipboard scanner is only able to find “encounters” (almost the same as a mission) but you have a slightly higher chance (compared to belt-ratting) to encounter faction or even commander NPC spawns dropping valuable loot. Using probes you can find various other things (including entries into wormhole “wildspace”), but this is best left to explain in much more detail in a seperate post.

PvP

Pvp can be a good way to make Isk but we do not consider it the best way. If you want to go down this road you will need to have alot of knowledge about PvP as there are alot of experienced fighters out there. Also training the right skills and coming up with the right ship setup is critical and may take some time.
