Is there a current or updated list somewhere where I can find out all the asteroids and their ores that I can find in the different security status systems?
The website you linked to says:
This page should be updated due to game changes.
Reason: Need additional table information for border/A0 and Pochven asteroids.
I need current information/list on the content/kinds of asteroids and ores to be found in the different security locations.
Which means the rest of the info should be accurate. The specifics they requested an update about someone else might share in this thread or they might add in soon(ish) as it seems to be updated on a regular basis.
Very well, thank you. I could also fly to the different locations. I didn’t want to spend time doing that tho.
Well you only have to check the two specific locations mentioned in the request, the rest, maybe 97-99% of the details are probably accurate so assuming the info is accurate no need to check those.
Although maybe just asking around (or someone else chiming in in this thread with the info) will help with that.
The page seems to be updated at least once a month though so it is safe to assume it will be updated sometimes this month (probably) as there was no update yet this month and there were two updated last month and sometimes there is even five updates a month.
Either way the little missing info probably can be acquired from elsewhere while the overwhelming majority of the info is presented on the page (and safe to assume is accurate).
So if anyone has info about the missing details feel free to share.
Or just look at the info of each ore and mineral you find in the market list. There it is plainly told where to find the stuff. And then: Welcome to Spreadsheet-EVE.
I have a follow up question. What is reason for mining?
I have a friend who is mining in high security systems for raw ores, then they process the ore into minerals, and make ammo for their ships. I have pointed out to them, they can sell the raw ore and buy the minerals, or just use the ore sale to buy the ammo. They enjoy farming I suppose.
I mine for profit. I use nothing but cheap ventures and miasmos haulers. I started with low security kernite farming and I advanced to low security gas mining. Raw kernite sells for 900 to 1000 ISK per unit in most places. Your venture can mine 4,166 in about 20 minutes or less*. This
is 4,166,000 ISK which covers the cost of 8 fully fitted venture ships. No big deal should one get blown up here or there.
Gas is another story, it is a lot of boredom after you get the knack for it. Gas takes almost an hour to fill the venture’s hold. I have compared it to watching grass grow and paint dry. There are some semi valuable ores in wormholes, in my opinion, it is too much effort.
Figure out what you want to do, then have fun doing it.
find some mission runners and you could probably make a deal to sell it for more than that… It’s needed in a L4 Storyline mission…
I used to buy it instead of trying to mine it… considering i can make more flipping the implant and selling it.
Fun, waste time away in space while I admire the beauty of the game and getting some isk too.
In that event, I would recommend gas mining in a venture. It requires some start up cost. Spending 50 minutes at the keyboard, watching for other ships to enter the system, or warp into your personal space is time consuming. I normally put some music on and visit help chat. Wormhole gas mining takes more prep time finding a young wormhole with a lot of sites to scan. The local chat will not display other players inside a wormhole. You may be alone or there could be over 50 players in there. Also all the sites are protected by NPCs, you don’t get them in low security gas sites.
I don’t tap the dscan, I just watch the local chat number when alone in the system or I place my view to show the entire grid ( zoomed out & strategic display ). I have my ship pointed at a station ready to warp out. I don’t get people mining in high security, I find it not much of a challenge. It is unlikely for a player to come bother with your venture. Once I get a lot of ISK, I just end up spending it on silly stuff, like fuel cubes for the astrahus, clothes, or I gift it to other players.
Have fun!
I want to mine asteroids for now, nothing fancy or too complicated. Don’t want to jump into Wormholes either. I want to keep everything as simple and straightforward as possible.
I will not spend any time in Help or Rookie chat, too may people looking for an argument there. I don’t have time for that, that’s why I ask my questions here in the forum.
I also watch Local for changes but I don’t care if my ship gets destroyed, I bought blueprints to replace everything I need to mine.
I will mine in every security space so I can have a nice assortment of ores to use with my blueprints.
I may use the isk to help other new players, buy low and sell high at the market, buy PLEX, stockpile it… No idea, I just want to have fun.
Take care @Princess_Rose_Ivory
