Mining crystals are consumables fitted to certain Tech II mining modules to increase the yield of these mining modules, with certain drawbacks depending on the type of crystal used.

== Overview ==

Following CCP's release of Patch 19.11, mining crystals were fundamentally changed. Previously, all ores had their own unique Tech I+II mining crystals. Now, crystals are divided into the into 6 "tiers" of standard asteroid ore types, and the standard moon ore tiers. Within each tier, the crystals are further divided into 3 types with a Tech I & II variant for each type. More information on the differences between crystal types is given below.

Mining crystals can only be used on modulated ore mining modules (any tech 2 module with "modulated" in its name), and increase mining yield when mining a particular kind of ore (but give no benefit when mining another kind of ore). They are loaded into the mining modules (like ammunition) and have a [[crystal damage|limited lifespan]] before they break and must be replaced with fresh crystals.

Following the release of Patch 19.11, mining crystals in EVE were fundamentally changed. Prior to Patch 19.11, every ore had its own unique Tech I and II crystal. Now, standard ores are separated into 6 "tiers" with each Tier having 3 types of crystals, further divided into their Tech I and II variants.
