All the mining missions have fake versions of regular ore, where '''Lyavite''' is the fake version of '''Kernite'''. The volume is the same for both the real and fake version, which is 1.20 {{m3}} per unit and can only be put on the market via contracts. | All the mining missions have fake versions of regular ore, where '''Lyavite''' is the fake version of '''Kernite'''.

This is a level 2 mining mission that can be gotten from any level 2 mining agent, regardless which space you're in. So you're not restricted by regions like you are for Kernite itself. | This is a level 2 mining mission that can be gotten from any level 2 mining agent, regardless which space you're in.

The mission is to mine 5,000 units of Lyavite (6,000 {{m3}}) from a single asteroid. In order to keep it respawning you just have to make sure you mine no more than 4,999 units from the asteroid and it'll respawn fully after the next downtime. So once you get that mission you can milk it for a week, mining the asteroid daily. | The mission is to mine 5,000 units of Lyavite (6,000{{m3}}) from a single asteroid.

An easy way to make sure you don't mine it out is to simply fill up the Mining hold of your favorite mining ship to the point where it cannot pull more ore than you can safely take without mining out the asteroid. Regular veldspar ore is good for this, as it is 0.1 {{m3}} per unit (means whatever {{m3}} you need filled, you grab 10 times as much ore), so you can just pad your hold with that until you reach the desired amount. | An easy way to make sure you don't mine it out is to simply fill up the Mining hold of your favorite mining ship to the point where it cannot pull more ore than you can safely take without mining out the asteroid.

The asteroid disappears when the site is finished, but respawns 1 hour later as long as at least one uncloaked player stays in the site or on the acceleration gate.

The ships you use will need to be fairly tanked and to keep the spawns down to a minimum they should preferably use as few strip miners as possible. Some combat ships will also need to be present to kill the spawns and protect the miners while they mine.<ref>Seamus Donohue and alts tested this with 2 Vargurs and 1 Prospect spaced 50 kilometers apart (to mitigate tracking speed issues) in a 0.7 system. Only 3 mining spawns occurred during the long process of mining the asteroid completely. It may suffice to use Ventures that warp out upon seeing hostiles and return once the hostiles are destroyed. Further testing may be in order.</ref> | The ships you use will need to be fairly tanked and to keep the spawns down to a minimum they should preferably use as few strip miners as possible.

If you do this with a regular [[Procurer]] and an average mining yield of 1,000 {{m3}} / minute and miner, then it would take one miner an hour and a half (90 minutes) to mine all the Lyavite from the asteroid. For two miners it would take 45 minutes and for a group of five miners it would take 18 minutes. | If you do this with a regular [[Procurer]] and an average mining yield of 1,000{{m3}} / minute and miner, then it would take one miner an hour and a half (90 minutes) to mine all the Lyavite from the asteroid.

Even if you use [[Skiff]]s with a yield of 1,500{{m3}} / minute it would still take six miners to get it done in something like 10 minutes. | |||
