Okay since I'm kinda new on market stuff, I was wondering why on earth zydrines prices are so high compared to what NPC's pay for it, and CCP's intented "base price" for it?
Seems like Zydrines value should be around 1.3k isk but they go almost as high as megas!
Did I miss something or why it is like this? _______________________________________________ My opinions aren't my corporations opinions.

I'd say combination of wars and level 4 missions in secure space. Mining Zydrine isn't as profitable relative to other activities as it used to be (especially with the inherent risk) and therefore people do the other things (mainly lvl 4 missions. combines convenience with good cashflow).

Probably also has to do with the reletive yields of zydrine vs megacyte in the high end ores. It's far more profitable to mine the megacyte-rich ores than the zydrine-rich ores, yet the risks to mining either are the same. Hence, the low-sec miners tend to mine plenty of megacyte, but not much zydrine. Mining zydrine only starts to make sense for the miners when zydrine prices get really high.

wrong, mining crockite was way more profitable then mining ark or bist for quite a while. zyd prices don't even have to be higher then mega prices ore even the same for crockite to be more profitable. prob is, at least as far as i knwo, there is no crock in some regions, curse for example, so ppl mine ark which yields mega and zyd in the ratio 2:1 or ppl just don't know that crockite is worth more as you just stated yourself that zyd prices have to get "real high" before it's worth mining crockite

Ok, as an avid rare ore miner, i feel i can shed some light on this. You guys are correct with the over mining of Mega, but it's a bit deeper. Lately (at least in the region i work in ) it seems that corps send all their 0.0 n00bs to mine rare ores. This is becasue they are not cut out for pvp, and they can't hunt. They see mega as most expensive mineral. So they mine bistot all the time. The ratio of zydrine in crok compared to the mega in ark or bist (at least bist. has zy) is crazy. There is a reason the ratios don't make sense though. In your study, did you stop to ask why mega goes for 5-6k when it used to go for 8-10k apiece? This price makes much more sense. But sense everyone mines mega, high supply, means low price. And sense no one mined the zy, the price inflated a lot. So becasue of simple economics, the undermining of zydrine has basically hit some kind of mining equilibrium with mega to keep it at about 1k isk dif at most times these day.

Megacyte is starting to undersell Zydrine in some regions. Sounds like a good time to stock up. =)

Lvl 4 missions are worth more then mining in 0.0 Also you can't get a Navy BS by mining.
Result: everyone who used to mine in 0.0 is now agentwhoring.

On plus side, if mining for Zydrine isn't your thing, now you can get that too done in missions Supreme Drone Parasites drop,what,500-1000 Zyd's worth of alloys by themselves

As far as i know ,only 2 lvl4 missions offer the supreme drone parasite.. silence of the informant and rogue drone harassement.
They do pay well with Zyd but its not like you have one of them everyday..you can spend a few days without seeing one ...
so mining crokite ,is still the most reliable source of zyd...

i missed this thread, but zydrine is so high because the only region that ONLY has zydrine ores was syndicate. JQA used to mine a lot of the stuff.
every other region, if you have to choose between zydrine only gneiss/crok or the more valuable megacyte ores bist/ark, well the choice is obvious. so zyd goes up, mega goes down
there's a bit of a demand element too because the new ships all used relatively more zyd than old cruisers and battleships.
