You'll find that ore mining is better becuase the ice cubes are 1000 m3 each and if you don't complete a cycle, no cube for you. You need to upgrade to a mack or hulk if you really want to ice mine.

Ice mining is a lot more AFKable, so that translates into lower revenue compared to ore mining. They both suck in highsec and lowsec, but ice mining sucks quite a lot more than ore mining does. In 0.0, ore mining can be somewhat decent, but ice mining is still pretty underwhelming.

<- Ice mining right now, while doing pvp on the other screen. Ore is going to be more profitable hands down, but ice mining is great if you need something a little less 'hands on.' It is good supplemental income though and getting the tech 2 lasers are relatively easy. Personally though I wouldn't do it until you have access to a mackinah.

I think it depends on the market. there are periods in the market where ice is more profitable then ore then there are times when ore is more profitable then ice. Some or most might disagree but consider this people will pay anything from doing something boring and mining whether its ore or ice.

As far as in high sec, Ore mining far exteeds ice mining in the isk to hour ratio. Both ice and ore mining have pluses and minuses.
In ice mining your cycle time is so long that it doesn't demand as much attention as ore mining. but ur also more suseptible to suicide gankers. Also, unless your retriever has expanded cargoholds you'll have to alternate ur cycle times so that you can fit the ice in your hold 1 unit = 1,000m3. In reference to 0.0 ore mining v. 0.0 ice mining. Only Morphite and Arkonor are better than Dark Glitter (ice ore) at current Jita prices. Liquid ozone is high demand.
But go with ore mining in high sec. way better isk for ur time. Hope this helps.

Just check the prizes on the market for the refinables (you do refine don't you?) and use some websites to see what earns you the best ISK per cargohold you are shipping (or per hour but that will always be higher then actual because of travel time not counted).
I don't have the actual links to the websites here as I am at work.. For ore you can check Celestes ore tool.. forgot where I used the one for ice.. ------- Always a deeply religious people, religion remains of great importance to every Amarrian, a fervour which at various times has been responsible both for great good and great evil. |
