I recently started eve. My main source of income thus far is mining. However, I have run into a problem with moneymaking decisions. I picked Industrial career concentration and a specialization in prospector, so I have max refining and mining as well as decent processing of various minerals. Thing is, it seems that the raw ore sells for more than the refined minerals! For example, Condensed Scordite gives ~25,0000 isk per run for me. If I refine it, it gives ~20,000 isk per run. What am I doing wrong?

You're not doing anything wrong. The market is player driven, and refining is not the only use for Scordite.
If people want to buy your raw minerals at a higher price, then sell it to them rather than refining it.

the refining part maybe? =p
maybe you should train Refining Efficiency to at least lvl 4 (5 would be best)... also look at the refining facility at the station ur refining it at... there are 2 types... the 50% yield and the 37.5% yield ones... the 50% yield could be brought up to 99.5% yield with Refining Efficiency lvl 5... the 37.5% one requires more skills... it could be that the station takes a lot of minerals...
another thing could be the standings you have with the npc corp... if it's 0.0, then they will take 5% of what you get out of the refining... if the standing is in the +, they would take less... if they don't like you, they would take more... ------------- CCP employee: "look this is broken, lets fix it" later: "\o/ yay, fixed" result: the thing that was broken is still broken, in the process they also broke some other stuff... THNX!! |

Try hauling your minerals to another system that offers more.

where do you check stats under for each system and what should we look for? Right now I'm not refining just stockpiling all my minerals and watching prices.
thanks for posting op :)

You check them in the market, and you look for a buy order that has a higher value. I'm presuming you didn't quite understand what the grandparent poster was referring to!
To the OP - you can easily get a 100% refine (in a base 50% station, which I think is most if not all of them in high-sec) with Refining 5, Refinery Efficiency 2 and Scordite Processing 3. This is the quickest set of skills to get a 100% refine, though if you go with higher RE and lower scordite processing (i.e. 3-2 or even 4-1) your refinery efficiency skills will apply to all items, and additionally you can get to 100% in other ores faster (only need to train the specific skill to level 1 instead of level 3).
