so i have a character that is about 2 months old. i basically just want to mine on that guy while i do other things on this character like mission, solo fw pvp, try new things. my 2 month old guy makes about 11 mil an hour in a mackinaw. i have t2 strip miners, t2 mining lasers and working towards t2 mining drones + exhumers 5. how can i increase profit further beyond this point? i honestly dont see much to train for or much to do other than just mining in belts. |

Sell the mining char.
Think I'm kidding? Nope
Just flat up selling him (let's assume 3 bil sell) will net you the same amount as the next 160 hours you spend mining, even after buying two plex's to pay for the transfer fee.
Unless you join up with a group willing to give you orca boosts and hauling services, you have effectively hit the limit on how much you are going to earn per hour in highsec, with minor tweaks for things like implants and whatnot.
If you really want to mine, join a mining corp. If you are mining to earn isk to do other things, sell the char and work towards those things.
Just about everything in the game besides lv 1-2 missions will pay better than solo highsec mining. A Lv 4 mission runner with even basic skills can do 40ish/hr. Running FW missions can spray money everywhere like it's payout friday at a redneck strip club. So can lots of other activities like lowsec exploration.
But if you have your heart set on being an industrialist/miner, then your first order of priority is to find a fairly decent mining or industry corp willing to supply you with boosts. An Orca boosting will increase your total yield by ~50ish~ % and other players will probably be hauling for you as well, so all you have to do is sit there and manually target rocks. |

If you want further passive income whilst mining take a look at PI, you can manage your planets whist your laser burn away. Takes an hour or two a week for hauling the extracted stuff out of lo-sec. |

After that, the easiest way to increase profit is to train the refining skills. |

..Well both is suffice (and preferable). Also mining drones aren't terrible efficient, but everybit helps. |

I'm gonna ask a similar question since the thread is up:
I have a boosting alt with full skills on all mining related boost and lvl 5 for both rorq and orca. I have finished training for all the special mods on the rorq (capital tractor, clone bay, capital shield boost/transfer) and am just finishing up PI as far as i want to take that.
I also already have him skilled for transport ships (minmatar) and have another alt working on jf.
Any suggestions on where to train him next? I'd prefer to stay away from manufacturing researching if i can but i really want to suck as much possible isk from this guy when hes just chilling in the rorq |
