Only regular Kernite is used for L4 storyline missions, and those storyline missions are now a bit rarer since CCP added other potential storyline missions. The +5% and +10% ores still get refined down into minerals.
While Kernite is the biggest feeder of Mexallon, there's also Pyrox. Both of which are found in Amarr regions. In Minmatar regions, only Plagio contains Mex unless you go to lo-sec (Jaspet) or find a grav site. However, the Minmatar regions are not highly populated and I'm not sure that the Amarr regions are as much as they used to be.
A bit of market speculation, but mostly demand outstripping supply - and supply side hasn't changed course yet to start mining the better ores. |

1 batch of Pyrox contains: 844 Trit 59 Pye 120 Mex 11 Nocx
(It is, however, the 3rd worst source of Mex from all the hi-sec ores. But it's also worth about 139 ISK/m3 at the moment, with Plag at 129 ISK/m3, Kern at 125 ISK/m3 and Veld/Scord at around 98-100 ISK/m3. Lo-sec ores are running 153-166 ISK/m3 range. Pyrox has been the hi-sec darling of the ores for the past few months.
And I think Pyrox was changed a while ago to include Mex/Pye.) |

Interestingly, the Rens Mexallon sell price is currently lower then Jita, meaning that its actually a decent investment to buy up Mex in Minnie space (due to lack of population?) and then haul it to the more populated regions, including Jita. The stock supply itself is alot lower however, so im guessing its not long before it gets spiked too. Hek appears to already be drying up of supply.
Minmatar space is a heavy supplier of Plagioclase. But Heimatar (Rens) is not that big of a region (large amount of systems are lo-sec) and Metropolis is even more sparsely populated, so supply is not that great. And Molden Heath is largely a lo-sec region (other then the mission area around Teonusude and a few isolated hi-sec systems).
And, approximate ISK/m3 values of the hi-sec / lo-sec ores:
Veld 101 Scor 98 Pyro 147 Plag 142 Omb 69 Kern 136 Jasp 157 Hemo 167 Hedb 163 |
