The Mission asks you to mine 90000 UU of Green Aresite, which is a kind of Gneiss, and in a Venture, it would take 20 runs minimum…. I falled asleep and then the Shutdown happened… I started mining again and I finally reached the GOAL, but the Agent says it’s not enough… and I can’t complete the missions… As if the PRE-Shutdown Green Aresite was bought or was part of another mission and didn’t count or something else is at play and I have no Idea what!!! Any Help appreciated… ![Screenshot 2025-10-07 at 15.02.46](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/6/e/6/6e6a12e7ff000278f6c3a15945a3a5407391f4f0.png) ---

I MADE A Video, the second part shows me tryingto complete the mission and it won’t work… I asked support to the DEVS, maybe reset the Mission Counter… still waiting… IDK what to do..

At first a Venture, then I realized they wanted 450K meter squares of ORE anf it would have taken me 24 hour… So i Switched to a Strip Miner Covetor, I even bought T2 Strip Miners and Trained the Crystals for GNEISS , to discover that they are “not calibarated” for Green Aresite, which is Gneiss in theory… this is stressfull… I have already been mining for more than two hours only for this one mission and it’s stuck… you think I should have been using a Destroyer to mine??? Because it was part of the storyline??? You unlocked me another stressfull thought… that the mission vould be Hull specific bound… but it doesn’t tell you so… ---

I could care less what ship, I was referring to mods. Using lasers that produce residue will not let you mine all the ore needed ---

What was it, the purple one…. variegated type A I believe? I tried also simple and coherent trype A with the same NO-NO result… I don’t even know how it looks residue…. I’m trying it it for curiosity… Also, minute 39:59, there is where I explain the crystals I tried… ---

I’m forced now. I can’t handle the stupidity. First of all - this is a Level 4 mining mission. Nothing to do with AIR. Have you read the _classic_ Level 4 mining mission thread in Mining and Extraction? I thought not. Not something a Jedi would tell you…. If you HAD read it, you would know to decline the 44k missions. You would ALSO know that mission ores are immune to the residue mechanic. The ore resets at downtime daily. Mine it all again. WITHOUT crystals. Use Tech 1 strips. DO NOT use a Venture. That was a fools errand. I HIGHLY suggest you quit the mission. This is above your pay grade. Miss Stardust….. OUT ---

OK, I quit it… But I have already mined all the ORE… Plus AIR mission goals says complete 4 mining missions, and I don’t know why I found the nearer to be lev 4, maybe my settings… SO I Should give up…. but it’s there, mined with normal strip miners… I still suck long time at mining…. dont YELL at me…. Thank you.., EDIT: I quit, not She wants me to Mine 44K Geodesite… It justs say, do a mining mission with a agent… I pickup up the neraest to Osmon.. ![Screenshot 2025-10-09 at 18.38.14](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/5/3/d/53dcb78fed2e82f34bf34817937fe31538d72c7a.png) ---

OK, I found a lv one agent and this time there were no incidents, and I completed the goal… anyway the other one still don’t know why It dodn’t work… I did nothing wrong…. I just selected a lv 4. instead of a lv1, there was no indication on who to pick… And the mission is either broken or Idk what… ![Screenshot 2025-10-09 at 19.01.20](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/5/7/d/57d47f85dfa77a3afc9292240f77e0b0a44a904a.png) ---

For future reference, for level 4 mining missions you need a Max level Mackinaw with T1 strips. or T2. ---
