I created an alt for a sole purpose of being a carebear to support my pvp needs. My question is, can you make more money in high sec mining or level 4 missioning with a marauder?
I don't have a preference either way. I just want what makes the most money faster.
Opinions?

level4 missioning on a CNR (Caldari Navy Raven)
a normal Raven is great too, and cheaper.
mining is about 0.5x as profitable as lvl4 missioning.
Remember fitting a Cormorant or other destroyer with 6x Salvager and 2x Tractor Beam

If mining is half as profitable, then why do people do it? I'm not trying to argue with you, I just am trying to weigh the pro's and con's to either profession. Is mining more AFK'able?

Mining is far more AFKable, and also easier to get into. You can create a brand new character (or could, not sure about the current rules) that had Mining V and Refining V from the start. You'd have to train a few skills up, but it's pretty quick and easy. It's faster to get into a battleship than an exhumer, but you don't have nearly as many other skills that need to be trained along with the ship skill. Just getting Battleship III won't let you do level 4 missions, while getting Exhumers III means you have almost everything you need to mine in a Hulk. ______________________________________________________ Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? |

mining is more for multiaccounters... not that you cant do missions on 3 accounts simultaneously, but squizofrenia would pop after some missions

People enjoy different things in eve but as far as profit goes, from lowest to highest.
Level 3 missions Hulk Empire Mining Level 4 Missions
And Hulk mining is 99.99% safe. And mindless.

Its more for avoiding clone jumping tbh. My main runs high sec missions for isk and I much prefer that over 0.0 belt ratting, I just don't want to have to deal with the 24 hour cooldown for jump clones cause of how active my alliance is. I doubt I will be dual boxing, I just need a toon that can make money without disrupting the 0.0 life of my main.

lvl 4 missions will generate you more income then high sec mining.
Next to the bounties, the loot and the salvage you also gather LP which are also worth ISK.
Tried both and for one account only it's way more profitable to run lvl 4 missions.

personally i think that people mine because missioning is a lot harder. I know a bunch a folks that make more money mining than doing their L4's mostly because they are not willing to put the money into their L4 ship to make the missions profitable.
Also most L4 runners that i know are way to concerned with their "tank" so they forget that what makes the L4 profitable is you kill speed. So for this reason in the time it takes me to complete 3 blockades it would take one of my corp mates the same time to complete 1.

Sounds like Mining would be the answer for you since you wouldn't have to give it a lot of attention constantly.

Edited by: Thorian Baalnorn on 14/04/2009 00:22:36 i have decent mining skills and in a retreiver in lowsec mining kernite at 650 m/3 a min( it being the most profitable lowsec ore to sell at the moment.) i can make 4 times an hour more running level 4s. . max skilled in mining it would probably be 2-3 times more for missioning.
Mining is only more profitable in 0.0 with the best of ores. and even then i can still beat it with a decent true sec system chain belt ratting.
Mining where ever you go is never more profitable then killing stuff solo wise.
Edit to add: making a new toon you start with no skills whatsoever( cant even fly a t1 frig besides your noob ship.) basically you only get enough skills to fly your noob ship and use your noob mods. you dont even get to pick attributes. those are done through a remap( which you get 2 of at first) . The new system is crap. It dumbs character creation down to 5 yr old level on a game that is rather complicated.
