Pwett Minmatar QUANT Corp. Southern Connection	Posted - 2007.05.22 16:15:00 - [33] In terms of low-end prices, also keep in mind that even though they're not all gone, a large number of the macros were removed with revelations. Heck, Trit soared from 1.8 to 2.9 in a matter of days and has slowly settled down to around the 2.4 mark that it is at now. Don't forget to add in your numbers the bounties you get from your warrior II drones while you tank the spawns. _______________ Pwett CEO and Founder [QTC]QUANT Corp.

Aykido Gallente Lobster of Babel	Posted - 2007.05.27 04:00:00 - [35] A maxed out Hulk with a maxed out Director in a fleet can mine just over 140000m3 per hour plus drones. without the maxed out director this figure is just under 95000m3 This is the theoretical maximum which you can get mining veld in 0.0 A maxed out director adds 48,387% to the hourly max yield.

Sir Bart Vendetta Underground Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.05.28 17:22:00 - [36] Originally by: Xaliendraa Khaine Sorry, to repeat, no one answered my question: Question: any one has any ideas why Pyerite and Mexallon are the only minerals that exploded upwards with revelations, and did not come down ?? I remember Nocxium spiking to 650+, now it at 195 and getting lower. Isogen is now below 90. Mexallon and Pyerite, nicely up to 30 and 9.2, respectively anyone ? Xali In the drone regions, when you kill drones they drop drone compounds that refine into minerals. These minerals have lots of zydrine, nocium and isogen and some megacyte. The low ends are not in the drone regions (our belts are broke so they can't even be mined) so it all has to be imported from empire into our space. Tritanium prices started rising quickly too until people realised it could be "invented" for the price of 2.41 isk / unit. This is why zyd and noc have crashed and iso has dropped from 110 to around 90 and everything else has gone up. Trit was even lower than 2.40 before revelations. -Bart CCP: please fix the asteroids in the new regions.
Molic Blackbird Gallente Orion Faction	Posted - 2007.05.28 20:36:00 - [37] High sec exploration sites need to also be factored into why prices of some minerals have droped. The peak for Nocxium price corresponds exactly with the release of the Multispectral frequency probes. I take that to mean Exploration has had the biggest affect on the price of Nocxium. Megacyte is not available in high sec sites, but Zydrine is. That would help explain why Zydrine fell so much but not Megacyte. Exploration would also explain why Tritanium, Pyerite, and Mexallon increased in price as miners switched from mining in normal belts to mining in Exploration sites. I'm not saying Exploration is the only thing, but it has had an impact on mineral prices especially Nocxium.
Nimitz Alexander Perkone	Posted - 2007.05.28 23:00:00 - [38] looking at this, it just aint worth it to mine anymore... anyone who had trained up to hulk lvl in skills could be making twice that mission running or salvaging easy time put my miner char up for auction methinks
Elspeth Vigneron Caldari Phoenix Logistics Industries	Posted - 2007.05.29 20:22:00 - [39] Edited by: Elspeth Vigneron on 29/05/2007 20:22:59 Originally by: Arachidamia Found a belt of Omber and Kernite in an exploration site last night. Shame it's worth less than a common ore you can find anywhere I guess? More I play, the more I realise mining is useless as a form of income. Boring, time consuming, and it pays less than anything else. A days worth of skills and a new character could outfit a destroyer with guns and salvagers and rat+salvage in 0.5. And in my experience that would easily pay better than a Retriever constantly mining the best ores available in "safe" space. Yet it requires less money in equipment, less time, less hassle and far less skills trained. Go figure. I can fill a jetcan every 7-8 minutes, depending on paying attention, in a hulk. With no risk as I can passive tank any .5 or higher rat. Now, I do have to move, go to different belts. Say 6 cans an hour. Using a high-sec mix forumla, I make approximately 2.4 million isk/can at 6 cans/hour or 14.4 million isk/hour. Not as good as a lot of Level IV missions, but there is NO RISK. Not even ore-theives as I can hold a full strip in my hold while my alt drops the ore off in a station. At work I do it differently. I copy the macro miners who load their hulks with two T2 expanders and mine till my hold is full. Then I go back and drop it. Lather, rinse, repeat. The only thing I do is, periodically, engage in chat with people in local so they know I'm not a macro miner. Not because I care what they think, but because I don't want some idiot petitioning me as a macro miner because I profile out that way and I'd rather avoid the issue. Anyway, I fill my hold every three and one-half strips and drop off about 12K m3 of ore. Takes about 15, or so, minutes a cycle due to all the inefficiencies. Still, that's an easy 6 million isk/hour while burning time. Phoenix Logistics Industries
Lisento Slaven Amarr Vendetta Underground Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.05.30 07:50:00 - [40] Does anyone have any comments on the mercoxit mining market? As I understand it morphite has dropped considerably in price. Trying to decide if it is still worth getting into (was training up to be a mercoxit miner in my RC Car skiff of doom). --- Lisento Slaven wants to be a Space Whaler in EVE. Put in space whales!

Albert O'Balsam	Posted - 2007.05.30 11:58:00 - [41] Well the profit in mining has definately been kicked to death recently - but it does seem to be recovering slightly. Also I dont see how removing macros can possibly result in a reduction of mineral price as there will surely be less peeps mining minerals?? OK trit and pye have gone up in value but pretty much everything else has fallen in price. This seems to me that its maybe the noobs that have stopped mining for some reason. But here is the point to my post, and that is how does ICE mining work as it is so broken IMHO. There are rare ices that make good money, but the bog standard ice that produces isotopes is broken to the point of stupidity. Surely the only people mining it are macro mining it because it is easy to mine. I have a mackinaw with tech 2 miners and an approx 380 second cycle time. This means I can mine about 38 pieces of ice an hour. Even at the most generous rates this ice is worth 90k isk each, so that makes about 3.4 mill isk an hour. On the other hand I can get my coveter out and go mining scord and make about the same (3.2 mill actually) per jet can; and Even being very conservative I can mine 3 cans in an hour (including moving and hauling) which is about 3 times more. OK if I have a POS I need the isotopes, but I may as well mine the ore - sell it - and buy the isotopes I need. The problem is is that if everyone does this there will be no isotopes on the market, but its something to think about. There are other things I dont understand either. 0.0 mining can still be pretty profitable, but low sec (0.1 to 0.4) is just a non starter as the ores that are there to encourage you to risk you ships (jasp hemo and hed) are just worthless in comparison to scord. I know that market trends will drive prices down with over supply and vice versa but even considering this Mining NEEDS a big overhaul because something is badly broken IMHO. This is mainly due to over supply of isogen and a shortage of pye, trit and mex for what ever reason, making the common ores powerfully over valued, and the mid ranged ores undervalued.
Marcus Tedric Gallente Tedric Enterprises	Posted - 2007.05.30 14:23:00 - [42] seen some interesting figures here..... Firstly - mining is not "broken" - it is just where it is. Secondly, there are some extremely over-optimistic figures quoted here. By my estimation - an average high-sec mining crew will make about 4m per hour each when mining belts. Moving and re-targetting take time. You have to remember to factor in hauling (surely you pay your haulers, even if they're alts?) - secondly you only get minerals selling prices if you haul to market - more hauling time.
Xaliendraa Khaine Amarr The Graduates Brutally Clever Empire	Posted - 2007.05.31 16:25:00 - [43] Edited by: Xaliendraa Khaine on 31/05/2007 16:24:35 Originally by: Marcus Tedric seen some interesting figures here.....

Exactly my earlier point marcus No way you make these maximums in Real eve life, as asteroids pop, you have to move, ore thieves once in a while and you are using a minimum of 2 accounts to do it in Too optimistic by far, esp. the afore mentionned scordite mining, where empire roids are about 20-40 K , or 2-4 strip miner 2 cycles Take care Xali
Triple Deke	Posted - 2007.05.31 17:25:00 - [44] I keep hearing people belly ache due to falling mineral prices. There's a very simple way to deal with this. Quit mining. Go do something else. Maybe organize a mining strike or something. If enough people quit mining, then the supply of ore will be less, and the demand will stay the same, if not go up do to ex-miners using ammo and ships. Once the prices go back up, start mining again. Just quit whining, and use the player driven market to your advantage however you can...mining, or otherwise.

I think I must have a good spot (and I am not letting on where it is either) but being very conservative I can mine and haul 8 mill of ore in an hour in empire, and I have been doing it for months. (I am even factoring in an ammount for hauling the minerals to sell in this). I guess I make better isk as I have no crew - ;) I do however agree that some peoples figures sound very optimistic. Is it really possible to fill a jet can in 7 mins??? If so whats the setup as this is twice as fast as I can mine and my mining skills are almost maxed out. I have got exhumers lvl 4 and mining upgrades lvl3 (mining upgrades is something else broken IMHO as 1 lvl of skill give you almost nothing back) all other mining skills I have to lvl 5 (even mining forman) and even on a good day I would be pushing it to fill a can in 18 mins.

Yeah, sounds more realistic for a solo miner, using a hulk with maxed skills including t2 drones, you can in theory fill a can in 16 minutes, thats with no implant/gang/rig/foreman bonus.
Estan Drake Cross Roads	Posted - 2007.06.04 05:53:00 - [48] So from what I understand, Trit is pretty much capped due to the NPC market, otherwise it'd be on the rise as well. The other low ends arn't. Macroers either havn't caught onto this yet, or have already kept the low ends in such a depleted state that low sec, low end mining is the only reliable way to get it. And if you are gonna risk it in low sec, you just arn't gonna want to mine the stuff you see in hi-sec. As the devs finalize their plans for removing static belts all together from the game (on board ship scanners already on sisi for testing)pyerite and mexallon will probably get even higher as macroers have a harder time finding the belts. Unless that is, of course, these newer belts are set up in a way that the low ends are instantly found while the more profitible ore may take hours or specialized equipment to scan out. It looks to me I will be setting the hounds loose on the belts with orders to ignore the damn Jaspet from now on.
Carniflex Caldari Fallout Research Fallout Project	Posted - 2007.06.04 07:07:00 - [49] Originally by: Nimitz Alexander looking at this, it just aint worth it to mine anymore... anyone who had trained up to hulk lvl in skills could be making twice that mission running or salvaging easy Lev 4 missions have been better income in high sec at least past 2 years. Lev 3 missions are (and have been) more or less equal to high sec mining in profitablity (assuming reasonable skills for both with reasonable setups). What has changed mining landscape most is zyd price drop. It was approx 4x of the 'npc price' so it was very profitable to mine (in the form of crokite). Bistot and Arkanor are still worth mining, not exactly as good as they used to be but still pretty good. Mertoxcit price died with Skiffs and will stay dead unless there appears some new major sink for it. However, if you have acsess already to low enough true sec to find ark and bistot you might as well NPC hunt for easier income. Getting into torpedo raven takes what .. 1 to 1.5 weeks even with 'carebear stats'. Other securitity sections (between high sec down to -0.7) are definately not worth mining, only NPC hunting. Well unless you mine dark glitter and use freighter to haul it for perfect refine (after latest patch freighters can pick up stuff from POS so mining glitter is actually reasonably profitable nowdays due to high liquid ozone price and removal of 'hauling difficutly' what made 0.0 icemining in non station systems real hassle).
Lord DarkStar Gallente Mobile Alcohol Processing Units	Posted - 2007.06.04 14:57:00 - [50] im able to make 40 mil per 4 hours + haul time factored in - so with having to haul all that ore i make 10 mil per hour,1 hulk 1 retreiver with mining foreman level 4

Marcus Tedric Gallente Tedric Enterprises	Posted - 2007.06.05 08:53:00 - [51] Originally by: Lord DarkStar im able to make 40 mil per 4 hours + haul time factored in - so with having to haul all that ore i make 10 mil per hour,1 hulk 1 retreiver with mining foreman level 4 And this is one of those times when the figures are often misleading. That's not '10m per hour' it's only 5m - it's being shared between two accounts. Two accounts to fund and train and equip. Yes, people use second accounts as 'slaves' - but it's a misrepresentation Personally I treat everyone the same, Miners, Haulers, Directors and CSP - they all get a share (unless other factors ameliorate)
Kazzac Elentria	Posted - 2007.06.05 16:50:00 - [52] Actually the reason Trit and the other low end mins have risen is in direct correlation to the bottoming out of the high end mins. As zydrine, noc, and morph fall pye, trit and mex will rise. This has all been covered pretty extensively in the market forums and is based on some pretty solid math regarding insurance payouts for ships and the base price of mins in the database. So really if you want things fixed, start asking for the drop rates of things like zydrine, noc and morph to be adjusted.
