Xanex	Posted - 2008.01.09 20:53:00 - [1] I have an osprey with 3x miner II's and I just got the industrial ship. I've been mining Plago and making 500k per trip, how can i find out how much a mineral is selling for on the other end of the galaxy? And what is the best mineral to mine to make ISK in 0.7?
Matalino Gallente Ki Tech Industries	Posted - 2008.01.09 21:00:00 - [2] Mineral prices do not vary by much if anything from one region to the next. The range of prices in one region will be the similar to the prices in other regions. Just look on the market screen to see what ore/minerals are going for and to find a system with a decent buyer. If you put a bulk sell order up, you will probably get a better price for you ore/minerals than trying to sell to the existing buy orders.
Xanex	Posted - 2008.01.09 21:17:00 - [3] what is a good ship for 0.5 and maybe below that?
Panch0Villa Caldari	Posted - 2008.01.09 21:27:00 - [4] If by best you mean best at mining, Osprey > Covetor > Hulk. If by best you mean survivable, I would try Battleships, Rokh perhaps. You can actually tank them and get a decent mining rate at the same time. The problem in low sec tends to be player pirates who are looking for easy prey. You should probably mine in a safe unpopulated area, or barring that, start by mining with a cheap ship like the bantam to see if you can make any money without losing ships to local pirates. Losses will be easily replaced that way. If you are successful at evading pirates and making money, move up from there. If you bring an expensive mining ship to low sec, be prepared to defend yourself, either with corpmates or with your own guns, and possibly to lose your ship.
Matalino Gallente Ki Tech Industries	Posted - 2008.01.09 21:27:00 - [5] 0.5 and above = Osprey/Mining Barge/Exhumer 0.5 - 0.1 = not worth the risk 0.0 with alliance protection = Hulk/Battleship For more information see the mining guide.
Leora Nomen Amarr	Posted - 2008.01.09 22:18:00 - [6] you can use this website to give you some estimates: http://eve-central.com/home/ As for the best ore to mine you should compile a spreadsheet for yourself and plug in raw ore or mineral prices (depending on if you refine) at which you hope to sell your stuff. Best ore to mine today might not be best a month from now as mineral market prices change all the time. In high sec scordite was one of the best ores to mine, but eventually demand on tritanium made veldspar best to mine. Now I have no idea what's the most profitable ore. guide to game time codes

Future art director at CCP! or texture guy, either or :P http://www.digipen.edu/main/Gallery_Games_2004#Narbacular_Drop Was in class with these folks :P
Thunderguts Fusion Enterprises Ltd Mostly Harmless	Posted - 2008.01.10 00:34:00 - [8] The ore prices vary widely, but at least in high sec space, the amount of money you can make per hour per mining laser is pretty much the same. This happens because if scordite were to make more money than veldspar, everybody would switch to scordite and the earnings from mining veldspar would increase. The prices won't be the same, but that's because they have different volume and mining rates. I designed a very complex spreadsheet to get at this ultimate result that all ores were about equally profitable. This has two implications: First, mine anything with a 10% bonus first, no mater what it is. Second, what makes you choose one mineral over another is your ability to add value to the ore. When I was in a mining phase, I found that veldspar made me the most money because I could refine it at a better-than-average rate, which I couldn't do for other ores. If I had been a manufacturer, I would have looked for the ore that best matched my manufacturing needs, because that's another way to add value to the bare rocks.
Kessiaan	Posted - 2008.01.10 01:25:00 - [9] While the above poster is true for the most part, there's also varying levels of supply and demand for the minerals your ores refine to that affects the prices. There's a higher demand for Mexallon than there is for Tritanium and Pyerite, so Kernite tends to be far and away the most valuable highsec ore. Plag, scordite, and veldspar prices tend to be pretty close but Plag contains some Mexallon so it tends to be higher. The market is flooded with Isogen and Nocxium, so despite their relative rarity, Omber and Pyroxeres aren't worth hardly anything. ----- My in Eve Profile My BattleClinic Page

Buchatar Caldari	Posted - 2008.01.10 17:22:00 - [11] At the moment I mine in High-sec (0.9), and in a period of merely a couple of days I saw Solid Pyro. go from 7% above regional average to 55% below regional average. My plan is to just mine Solid Pyro until the prices go up again. Anyway yes, on topic... ores can change every month, what you could do is keep a couple of peices of each ore in your item hanger.. and "right click -> sell" every now and then to check the prices, then go and mine the one that will make you the most profit. ------------------ Yes, ofcourse I mine for fish... got a problem with that?
Agent Li Caldari Galactic Defence Consortium BLACKHAWK FEDERATION	Posted - 2008.01.10 17:24:00 - [12] Originally by: Matalino <snip> 0.5 - 0.1 = not worth the risk <snip> Wrong. If you are in a corp, and a corpmate is a good explorer, they'll find a small belt of ore you usually only see in 0.0. Most low sec systems are unoccupied, and even with a small escort, well worth the effort (a smaller escort than you'll need in 0.0). ------------------ Please note: No Windows System files were harmed during the creation or deployment of this patch.
G Viking	Posted - 2008.01.10 18:38:00 - [13] Edited by: G Viking on 10/01/2008 18:39:47 Originally by: Xanex how can i find out how much a mineral is selling for on the other end of the galaxy? I've been in EVE for a little more than a month now, but I've learned a lot and I willing to share the knowledege. The mineral prices all over the galaxy you will find in the market browser http://eve-central.com/home/market.html The prices change almost daily. If you can afford to, dont sell when the price is low. I advise also to compare the price of the raw ore with the prices of the refined stuff. You can make a excel-sheet for that purpose. If you have a Industrial to transport the stuff (save money to buy one) you get a better deal if you make a few jumps and sell somewhere else. As for the right ore to mine in a 0.7 system I dont knowabout Plago... but I mostly mine Luminous Kernite and Viscous Pyroxeres. If you mine lower ores you need much more of them to make the same profit
Letouk Mernel	Posted - 2008.01.10 21:02:00 - [14] The market shows you the price of minerals and how it fluctuated over the past month, 3 months, etc., so you can look at the graph view and get an idea. Usually, there should be a manufacturing hub somewhere in your region, even if you're not in a hub like Jita, so prices should be decent. Before freighters were so commonplace, scordite used to be popular because tritanium and pyerite were needed in huge quantities and difficult to transport in huge quantities, but right now it's probably a toss between all of them, and it will depend on what buy orders you see out there. Mine whatever there's a good buy order for, closest to you.

It is easier to carry thousands of veldspar per trip than to is to carry "more expensive" ores. It seems to me that the ores from 1.0 to .5 are generally going to sell about the same, depending on location and expected market fluctuations. I have tried mining Kernite, and I cannot carry much per trip. I then mine veldspar, and I can carry a whole lot per trip but it sells for less. So which is better? In the end, 1 cargotrip = X amount of ISK, and that X ended up being roughly the same for the kernite as well as the veldspar.
VB Sarge The Bastards	Posted - 2008.01.11 02:29:00 - [16] On my mining toon, I always use a isk/m3 equation to find out how much something is worth. I have a real nice webpage bookmarked in game that lets me plug in current prices for minerals, and will then show me how much isk/m3 a roid is worth on the fly. It will also show you how much ore you get per m3 and lets you see what is optimal for your target mineral. isk/m3 translates into isk/hour pretty easily, but i've always found it better to look at it that way. More expensive ores will be bulkier, but cost more, and like you said, cheaper ones you can hold more of but cost less. Pretty simple to find out which is better, use isk/m3. www.the-bastards.com Ask me about recruiting options
