Still isk / m3 or isk / jet can are good numbers to know.
#Skill needed to mine omber full#
In high sec where you often can't complete a full cycle on one rock you have to be a very skilled miner to get much over 80% of what the math says you should get given your ship and your skills due to constantly having to short cycle lazors and try to predict when a roid will be done. If you are mining in null on giant rocks where you can sit on the same rock for an hour you can get numbers nearly what the math tells you that you should get. Like other's have said isk / m3 is not everything. If you spend a few minutes checking out this site I think you'll find it's fairly user friendly. Also you can adjust the mineral values and refine percentages on your own. It's main isk stat is isk per full jet can (27,000 m3 iirc) you can sort by any of the stats simply by clicking on that column. As such, it is just an example of why you have to factor in risk when looking at how much money you can pull in with various ore types. Meanwhile, someone else is in high sec during that entire time, mining cheap old Veldspar, and has now exceeded the amount of isk you have made risking everything just to mine Jaspet.Īgain, I've not run the numbers in months, so things may have changed a little, but this is an example based on real numbers from this past year. Do you keep mining and pretty much commit suicide, or warp to a safe and play cat and mouse with them for an hour or so before they finally get bored and move on? Rat gone? good, three unknowns just appeared in local. Do you have enough drone dps and tank to take him out, or do you need to stop mining, warp out, get another ship, come back, kill the rat, warp out, then go back to mining? If you can do that without any interruptions, it is profitable, but oh wait, a Battleship rat just warped into your belt. I don't have the numbers in front of me right now, but, as an example, Jaspet is worth more than Veldspar, so it would seem profitable to go into lowsec and mine Jaspet. If you could mine in high, low, and null without interruption, sure, the low and null ores are going to be worth a lot more, but you have to take into consideration the interruptions. In spite of volume differences and such, some ores will be worth more than others, but none of this takes into account the issues of *where* the ore is. Never look purely at the numbers when determining what you are going to go after. PS: I just realized I forgot to add in Scordite, but I also do not care for that ore, as it provides very little wealth in my eyes. So, having explained that I haven't seen any other ores besides that, then I would like to ask those who have to relay the information here on those particular rarer ores.Įither just put down how much an ore is per cubic meter, how many cubic meters one unit is, or even say if you know of anything more valuable than mining Plaigoclase and Pyroxeres. However, I've also not seen any other ores besides Veldspar, Pyroxeres, Plagioclase, Omber, and Jaspet. I'd have to mull it over and do some math ti figure it out. Or rather the mining lasers take quit e a lot of time. These two ores take quite a lot of time to mine up. With a venture fitted with two Miner II mining lasers. I mine either two when I can, make about 900,000 isk every 20 minutes. Over that tad bit, mining several thousand units provides about a 100,000-200,000 difference in isk payout. Rich Plagioclase, when found, is worth a tad bit more than Viscous Pyroxeres. However, The two ores Plagioclase and Pyroxeres have a particularly close difference between who is worth more. In fact, Jaspet doesn't even produce as much isk per cubic meter as pyroxeres. Plagioclase and Pyroxeres are the two most profiting ores that I ahve come across so far. Having crunched the numbers, Omber is much much less vlauable than Pyroxeres (per cubic meter), and when the mining tools mine by the cubic meter, then hey, you'd be makign more money by mining pyroxeres than Omber. I don't have the exact specs for Pyroxeres and Plagioclase, but as far as I see it, you get the most money by mining these two particular ores, and a lot faster than mining rarer ores. I mined Omber and it provided me with an ore that registered 0.60m^3 per unit. Plagioclase is a bit rarer, maybe even the next rare ore int he table after pyroxeres, and it has a volume of 0.35m^3 per unit. Pyroxeres has a volume of 0.30m^3 per unit. However, in my explorations, I quickly learned that each singular unit of the ores gets larger in volume as they get rarer. Obviously, the rarer ores, those which are found in more dangerous places, are much mor valuable than those found in heavily guarded places. So, I've taken to crunching numbers myself, being a starting miner and whatnot (best way to start off when you begin), and I noticed there are several different kinds of ores.
