As most budding industrialists will notice, the profit margins on T1 production can be rather slim. That said, these items make a natural starting point for those just starting an industrial career. Therefore, it is of the upmost importance to minimize waste when producing goods. For a dedicated manufacturer who buys their materials, training the [[Skills:Production#Production_Efficiency|Production Efficiency]] skill to 5 and researching your blueprints for PE is the only way to do so. But for the comprehensive industrialist who likes to mine their own minerals, increasing refining efficiency is essential.

* [[Skills:Social#Negotiation|Negotiation]] - This one's not really required. It only boosts the ISK reward for completing a mission. Training this will not help you complete your quest any faster, but taking a level or two will be quick and earn some extra money along the way.

Next, you will need to be in the right sort of ship. If you are interested in perfect refining, it is likely that you are already a miner! Once you can fly a [[Mining Barge]] decently, you are ready to begin your quest. A [[Retriever]] will serve you very well on your quest, as it is the barge most suited to solo-mining. While increasing your mining yield is always a good thing, it is important to note that some mining missions involve some combat. It is recommended to fit a [[Damage Control Unit]] in one of your low slots, as this will greatly increase your survivability against these NPCs. No matter how you tank your barge, you may have to warp in and out of the mission sites from time to time. Minimizing this is key to earning your standings efficiently. Therefore, it is recommended that you eventually train [[Skills:Armor#Hull_Upgrades|Hull Upgrades]] to '''level IV''' to be able to fit a tier 2 DCU and [[Skills:Rigging#Shield_Rigging|Shield Rigging]] to '''level I''' so you can fit some shield tanking rigs to boost your survivability. You will also want to train ~~Drone~~

You will also want to train [[Skills:Drones#Drones|Drones]] to '''level V''' as soon as possible. Other drone skills will also come in very handy when dealing with rats or let you use them to mine, but a good start is to be able to fly all 5 light drones your barge will support.

The later sections of this guide will mention some additional skills you will like to train when they become relevant - so it is recommended to read this whole guide before you begin.
