Ive got a Retriever, I have two modulated strip miner II and Veldspar mining crystals fitted to it.
Now my stack of Veldspar is growing and growing. Thing is, I dont know what the most profitable selling strategy would be?
What should I do with the Veldspar to get the maximum profit from it?
perfect refine is fairly easy to obtain. the only dificult part is getting standings with the corp that owns the station where you refine.
you need;
- a station with a 50% refinery
-refining 5 refining efficiency 3-4
- veldspar processing 3-4
- 6.3 or higher standings with the corp that owns the station.
Ignore the refining yield quoted at the top of the window. That does not account for ore specific skills. When getting your refining quote look at the unrecoverable and we take columns. if these are both zero you are getting 100% refine. If you are getting 100% refine there are very few instances where you will not be making max profits.
The only consistent way to sell ore for more than the mineral value with 100% refine is to sell in systems with research agents that give missions requesting that ore/mineral. But this will not be high enough volume to make any significant income. You will often see sell orders for ore at prices above there mineral value, but never a buy order, unless someone made a mistake or prices fluctuated after the order was posted. If you find one of these orders you are a licky SOB. There are traders who spend most of there day looking for these.
With a 100% refine you can make profit just by buying ore off the market and selling the refined minerals. refining ore you have mined is always worth while is you can get 100% refine. For example a batch off 333 veldspar will give you 1000 tritanium at 100% refine. However if your refining skills leave you with 95% or less you may be able to sell the raw ore for more than you could get for the minerals due to the refining loss. For example refining veldspar at 95% will leave you with only 950 tritanium per batch. 50 unitsw lost per batch. Not a lot but it adds up fast when doing 100s or 1000s of batches at once. For example a max cargo ORCA will hold about 175,000m3 of ore. thats 1,750,000 units of veldspar or about 5255 batches resulting in over 260,000 units of lost tritanium.
