You can run around salvaging wrecks in belts and so on wherever you may find them with no penalty for doing so, other than occasionally the indignation of the person who created the wreck. However salvaging is very much a profession in itself. Many people treat salvaging as part of mission running run a mission, then loot and salvage your wrecks. There's not much more to be said about mining as a concept, everything else is details.The details are most clearly explained in here if you care to know them.įinal word of warning : ideal starting character is either a Prospector (any race, for the repro skills) or a Minmatar Engineer (Industry 5, Science 4). see what you can get for your ore, both refined and unrefined, and pick the MOST VALUABLE one. The only reasonable exception would be if there's a high buy order for a specific type of ore : this can happen in systems where storyline agents offer the "Materials for War preparations" storyline mission (元 version asks for basic Omber, L4 version asks for basic Kernite). always pick the thing that gives you MOST ISK PER CUBIC METER OF ORE MINED, if you refine and sell the minerals. Training the specific ore reprocessing skills should be one of the first things to do even if you don't plan on using T2 strip miners, since you can usually sell the minerals better than you could sell the ore. Whenever you mine, LOOK at what ore is available in the region, and LOOK at existing mineral buy orders, then at existing mineral sell orders. However, the Hulk is a tiny step away, skill-wise from the Covetor, and mines even better still, so you should probably just train for it as soon as you can use a Covetor, and skip the Covetor entirely. The OPTIMAL progression is your racial mining frigate first (because it's easy to train for), then head straight to the SECOND of the mining barges (Retreiver), then to a Hulk directly.ĭO NOT bother with destroyers, the mining frigate is better and faster, A mining cruiser is almost on par with the second barge, but going for the cruiser means a dead end, unless you go for a battleship, but then again you could reach the Covetor before you reach a decent level of mining in a battleship, and a Covetor is far superior. Or run several accounts at the same time. But then again, this appeals to some, since it leaves you with time to do something else at the same time, like, chat. 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. You could be running courier missions in a battleship too, but an industrial is usually better, and the battleship is more suitable for kill missions. If you go into manufacturing, you might as well just buy all minerals from the market, never actually mine a single piece of ore in your entire EVE life. You could be mining various ore to reprocess and manufacture something and sell it for (at least) slightly more than the minerals, but you'd make more if you mined only the most valuable ore of the moment, sold all excess minerals and bought the rest from the market. If you find your particular way of making ISK more enjoyable than anything else you can do with the ISK you get, then go right ahead, keep doing it even if it's not the best way to make ISK.įor instance, you could mine in a cruiser/battleship, but you would be making more ISK in a barge or an exhumer. What you do with that ISK afterwards, that's the most fun part, usually. But in my experience, logic dictates you do "work" to achieve a purpose, and that purpose is to get ISK. Not "bad" in the sense that you don't make any, but that you could easily do something else to get more.ĭon't get me wrong, IF YOU WANT (and you find it enjoyable), DO ANYTHING. There are several good ways to make ISK, and there are a lot of bad ways to make ISK.
