Mining

The first thing you’ll want to train, if it isn’t already there, is Mining to IV. This will open up the skill Mining Upgrades, Ice Harvesting, and in turn Astrogeology (this will also require Science level IV). Astrogeology will likewise give you a 5% per level to your mining yield. Ice Harvesting won’t quite come into play for a while and is mostly used by larger corporations and alliances, so if you’re looking to operate small-scale or alone, you won’t need to particularly worry about that one. Mining Upgrades gives you access to the Mining Laser Upgrade I modification. This too increases your mining yield, but at the drawback of an increased CPU consumption by the mining laser(s). So this will require some tweaking to your ship in order to fully optimize the income of ore and by extension ISK. I would strongly advise against taking off or deactivating a mining laser on the ship for an upgrade, as that one laser will rake in more ore than the upgrade will give to the other(s). As far as equipment is concerned, I’d suggest purchasing Miner II mining lasers whenever you can afford them, and use the highest named Tech I miners you can afford in the meantime. Also, I’ll touch on Strip Miners here and that they are very powerful mining lasers, but need to be used with a Mining Barge, which is discussed below. So what should you do with the ore? Well, there are two options here as well. The first being to simply sell the ore you’ve mined; the second to refine that ore into minerals and sell those. The latter of these generally provides a larger amount of ISK due to the fact that there’s a much larger demand for minerals. On top of this, the minerals can be used for production – so they serve multiple purposes. Due to this, I’ll cover the skills required to refine those ores.

Industry to level I will be your first objective. This is a base skill for refinement skills and pushing it beyond level I isn’t necessary unless you’re looking to advance into the production field as well or if you’re looking to get into a Mining Barge quicker (more in barges below). After obtaining Industry I, train Refining. You may want to stick with this skill and push it straight to level V in order to train Refinery Efficiency. Both of these skills reduce the waste factor when refining (2% and 4%, respectively). Beyond this, you can further train very specific refining skills. For instance, you can train a skill named Veldspar Processing. This skill specifically reduces the waste factor when processing veldspar ore. These skills exist for all ore types currently in the game.

For more information on the ores/minerals and the marketplace, please refer to – Ore Refinement Chart. Now we come to the piloting part. At first you’ll be restricted to your starter vessel, but can quickly upgrade to a better frigate – that is, one with a better CPU and powergrid output as well as a higher quantity of turret hardpoints – and from there you can either take the cruiser route or aim directly for Mining Barges; this skill requires you to have Industry to V already, as I’d mentioned above, but mining barges are much more suited for doing massive mining operations. Most corporations that focus on the Mining and Production industries strongly advise and even go so far as to require the members to be up and running in these barges. If you’re looking to simply mine short-term and move onto combat in the future or if you’re simply not looking to invest a ton of time and effort into mining, I would suggest purchasing a cruiser with several hardpoints to hold you over. This will give you a decent payload of ore while still giving you the flexibility of firepower.

Now, if you’re heart-set on getting into a mining barge and mass mining (which is most commonly referred to as strip mining; I will be referring to it as that now) and pushing your refining and mining skills to their maximum potential, then I will give you a general idea of what the ships look like as far as price and fittings are concerned in order that you’ll be able to fully take advantage of your investments.

In the below chart I’ve listed the mining barges along with those statistics. Please note that in the CPU and Powergrid cells the first number indicates the base CPU and Powergrid of the ship while the second number indicates the CPU and Power if your Electronics and Engineering skills are at V. Below that I have the slot allocations followed by the average price. Please do note that the market in Eve-Online is very dynamic and the prices fluctuate from system to system and region to region, so these numbers can often fluctuate from one day to the next – this is included just to give you a general idea of how much you’ll need in order to purchase such a vessel. <table> <caption>Mining Barge Readouts</caption> <tr><td>Barge Name</td><td>Procurer</td><td>Retriever</td><td>Covetor</td></tr> <tr><td>CPU Readout:</td><td>125 / 156.25</td><td>125 / 156.25</td><td>200 / 250</td></tr> <tr><td>Powergrid Readout:</td><td>35 / 43.75</td><td>35 / 43.75</td><td>35 / 43.75</td></tr> <tr><td>Hi/Med/Low-Slots:</td><td>1 / 1 / 2</td><td>2 / 1 / 2</td><td>3 / 1 / 2</td></tr> <tr><td>Price:</td><td>1.5M</td><td>7M</td><td>24M</td></tr> </table> Something worthy of mention here which may have you confused is that the mining barges are designed to be used with those Strip Miners and therefore they have no turret hardpoints – the number of hi-slots dictates the number of miners you can equip. So it’s simply an increase of one on each barge.

So as you can see, the Procurer and Retriever have a lot in common with one another. If you happen to be in a mining corporation, often times they’ll finance a Retriever for you – so you may decide to look into a corporation if you’re soloing it at the moment, as this can be a good way to help you along and learn even more about larger scale operations. If you are soloing and intend to continue to do so, then you may wish to wait on a Retriever – especially so if your find are low and you need the money. If you have it to spend, then by all means advance. when u want to buy eve Game , plz go to cheap Eve Isk cheap Eve Online ISK when u want to buy eve item , plz go to cheap Eve items cheap Eve Online items when u want to buy eve Currency , plz go to cheap Eve money cheap Eve Online Money when u want to buy eve Account , plz go to cheap Eve accounts cheap Eve Online accounts when u want to buy eve CdKey , plz go to cheap Eve cdkeys cheap Eve Online cdkeys when u want to buy eve Guide , plz go to Eve Walkthroughs Eve Online Walkthroughs This extract is from eve Free guide I want to recommend to a good website : game2sale cheap Eve Isk cheap Eve Online ISK
