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

~~Mining~~ crystals are ~~special consumables fitted to~~ Tech II mining ~~harvesters~~ and ~~Deep Core~~ mining ~~lasers to massively~~ increase ~~the~~ yield of ~~these~~ mining modules, with ~~certain drawbacks depending on~~ the type of ~~crystal used.~~

== Overview ==

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 and II variant for each type.

Mining crystals can only be used on modulated ore mining modules (any Tech II module with "modulated" in its name) and the ORE deep core mining laser, 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 new crystals.

Note that the unique mission ores are considered their own type of ore by the game, and CANNOT be mined with the ore-specific crystals for their equivalent ore

== Crystal compatibility ==

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.

Moon mining crystals only have a visual change to put them in sync with asteroid crystals, and are still compatible with the same tiers of moon ores (ubiquitous, common, uncommon, rare, exceptional) ~~as crystals pre 19.11~~. See [[moon mining]] for more details on specific ores.
