Enhanced and completely rewritten 48 pages PDF mining guide

I am proud to announce the release of The Complete Miner's Guide, version 2.0. Now offered into a practical PDF format, this new enhanced and completely rewritten 48 pages mining guide is now available to all EVE players for free. After the last version's success, it was clear something more was needed. Ideas and rumors of a website were spread, but due to my very busy new student life, such a project will not be possible. Instead, to celebrate the arrival of Revelations, I wrote this whole new guide for you. This version addressed the issues of the last one, while adding some new content, all delivered into a new PDF presentation. The guide includes new sections, useful links, screenshots, tables and comparative charts to help you and your mining career. The guide's interactive table of contents will allow easy naviguation to find the information you need quickly. Plus, it's was written with a touch of humor  I regret to announce that this will no doubt be my last guide as I must retire from EVE. As mentionned, a new student life has cut my playing time. I offer this as a departing gift. I am not permanently leaving, and I will try to make updates when the time allows it, but I will however not be avaialble to answer your questions. I have no doubt you guys will figure all your problems out right here with the same team spirit that gave this guide its true meaning and purpose. Keep living the carebear's dream and enjoy the guide! I wish you all the best in your mining career ! Halada

Good job Halada, 48 pages mining guide in PDF... It will surely help a lot in education of new mining talents eve-wide.
And don`t forget, mining is more enviromentally friendly than huntin, plexin or even pvpin

The direct download link doesn't always work if you right-click and choose save. My Internet Explorer wanted to download a .html file, which was because eve-files had a nagging commercial page before redirecting to the pdf.
Other than that, I'm looking forward to reading this version. I found the old one very usefull, even for somebody only a couple of days old in this game.

Fantastic, thank Halada and best of luck with your studies.
I haven't read it all yet, but found in section 1.2 minerals you've missed the 8 Zydrine you get when you refine Jaspet.
Great job!

Hal, brilliant guide (still reading it) but one thing I need to address: Why hasn't anyone run numbers for the mining Rokh?
8 turret points, 780 base CPU and a shield resist bonus would surely make it the best mining ship in eve if at least not on par with the Domi/Apoc.

The guide was re-written prior to revelations hitting and was only re-edited before publishing. I hadn't checked the Rokh yet and it came only to my attention after publishing the guide.
You are absolutely right though, the Rokh is without a single doubt the best battleship to use as a mining platform. Its monster CPU allows you to fit 8 miners, one more MLU than the Apoc and still fit a tank !
It will be added to the guide in a future update, for now however I don't think it would be worth it for me to publish a new version for that change, in fact, the Rokh will mine 5% more than the Apoc, that's it (one extra MLU), so comparative charts and tables can be used for the Rokh or the Apoc as well since the difference is quite minimal. For 0.0 of course the Rokh is the best choice as the Apoc cannot fit a tank when going on full mining setup.

Your Guide taught god knows how many people how to mine and how to make money through minning. I am sure your contributions will not be forgotten.

Found an error. On page 16 it says the following:
Quote:
Using T2 miners, which has a 80m3/cycle base yield, you would get:
60 * 1.20 * 1.20=86.4m3/cycle(note the yield is not truncated nor rounded)
T2 miners have a 60m3/cycle base yield.
Not a big error, but still trying to do my part to help with the guide.

Oups, thanks ! It's not a big mistake since I use the correct yield in the equation (wtf?) but will take note ! Thanks

This morning after reading through the drones section(this has been my first time reading the guide, just DLed it the other day) I was curious about the whole harvester vs T2 mining drones debate so I figured it out and wrote it up in table in microsoft word which I can send you I you want.
In the end it appears over the time of one hour if you are mining 5km and closer than harvesters are better, if its 5km-15km than T2 drones are better.
The Drone Navigation skill also comes into play.
Let me know if you want it, its not too complex and you can change it if you like.
[Edit] This is Beatrice Belleza's(above) other character, posted with wrong one.

I'll toss out another option/correction. Halada only likes to include what he thinks is the only way to do things and passes off anything he thinks he knows as Gospel.
If you swap out the active hardeners on the Hulk for Dread Passives, and get the shield compensation skill for those speciic times you can get up to 65% resist bonus per passive on your hulk without having to use cap draining actives at all and the fit is exactly the same.
Makes tanking while keeping your upgrades muuuuuuuuuch much better.

Did some initial math.
ship 1 hulk with mining II drones - 1350 ore units/minute
ship 2 Rokh with Tech II medium drones as defense - 830 ore units
Pretty solid defense, the Hulk can even swap out the Mining drones for Tech II light since the bay fits 50 m3
Great guide Halada!

Yeah, the Rokh seems to be a great bship possibly better than apoc/domi for a normal tank.
My only prob with battleships is you need cargo boost unless you like to stagger your lasers and empty every 30 seconds which is crazy annoying. So you could get 5 mining upgrades on rokh and shield tank, but might end up with like 3 and 2 cargo boosters?

I personally would stagger the laser cycles and use the 3 extra low slots to fit 2 Co-proc II's and an extra Mining Upgrade. So what if you lose 15-30 seconds of mining time due to staggering, you end up mining 5% more ore and that'll pay itself off soon enough.

Very nice Halada, loved your old guide and this one just rules. The calculations and explanations are very good.
Good luck with your "student" life :)

Just to say thanks for the guide from a 2 day born. I went from completely clueless to knowing what to skill, what to mine and what to do with it.
One question - excuse me if this is not the place - but I have found mining with the Bantam a rather dangerous occupation - would a Merlin be a good upgrade as soon as possible for a newbie - at least it would be possible to fit some weapons as well as the two mining lasers?

How has mining in a bantam become dangerous? Perhaps you shoulds mine in higher security space if the rats are too much for you? Try 1.0-.8

Not sure what you mean about the Rokh and it lows?
I could swear the link I looked at it had 8 highs 6 med 5 lows?

Yeah, use the mids to shield tank, 8 t2 miners in ups and whatever cpu/mining upgrades/cargo expandersyou might need in lows to boost it all
isntead of like armour tanking in an apoc for example usin yer lows for that.

Seems you might have missed this correction in my first post:
Section 1.2 minerals, you've missed the 8 Zydrine you get when you refine Jaspet in the yield table.

Section 6 - Acheiving Perfection
Quote:
HX-1 Highwall (slot 10)
+ 5% to yield (requires Cybernetic V)
Shouldnt that be HX-2 Highwall, since the HX-1 gives 3%

It appears in the erratum already.

Turns out the em/thermic etc specific compensation gives a 5% bonus not to your resists but 5% "of" the resists of the specific hardener. In the case of a gurrista, it's about 1-1.5% per point.
Not as good as the actives then, but requires no cap, and as lon gas the tank holds etc. (for hulks)
