What is the state of industry in and around Amarr?
Its pretty good. Slower than around Jita, but you dig into the raw material suppliers in Kador and (I think) Khanid, not even mentioning the major Amarr regions, and you can find quite a bit of value there. The trick is going to be that it’s not as condensed as Jita is, so keep an eye out for the local regulars if you need suppliers or manufacturers.
