I don't see Nocxium going above 1,100 ISK in the long run and most likely stabilizing under that (800 would be my guess for final price), and Zydrine has already started to stabilize somewhat, though it will probably rise slightly again once the stockpiles people are trying to sell run low. I don't see Zydrine breaking past 2,000 except for brief periods of time. |

I don't see Zydrine breaking past 2,000 except for brief periods of time. People don't understand or know that drone alloys (which are 40% (give or take) of the high mineral supply) are going away! Supply is going to get cut, hard!
And then supply will rise back again once Zydrine and Nocxium becomes more profitable. There are already people racing to harvest the highsec Pyroxeres deposits.
Furthermore, the values on Drone-to-Ore came before wormholes and (IIRC) the Orca. While nullsec alliances always had the Rorqual for mining ops, it's hideously expensive and was kept safely tucked away most of the time, just providing the bonuses. Now the Orcas are out in force and have increased the supply of nullsec ores via alliances drastically. While much of that production does go into cap/supercap production, some of it is still rerouted to highsec. Then factor in the amount of wormhole corps out mining nowadays, whose minerals generally go straight back into highsec, and you've got an increased supply from ores compared to that of Drones, which as was mentioned before, goes into supercap production most of the time anyway. Large amounts of high-end minerals in highsec comes from loot reprocessing and wormhole mining, not drones. Most mission runners don't loot, and those that do usually ignore drone missions and bypass them. So the speculation on the impact of highsec mineral availability has been drastically overpredicted. Though that was intentional by many people in order to spike prices higher which was good for their wallet (and the overall market in my opinion). |
