'''Asteroids''' are large irregular chunks of rock that can be found in many places throughout New Eden. When mined, asteroids yield '''ore''' which, when refined, produces minerals of various types that serve as the basic building blocks of almost every [[Manufacturing|craftable]] item.

Mineable asteroids can also spawn in [[deadspace]] pockets, such as the ones created for missions. Unlike asteroid belts, these are not organized into a set shape. Some are composed of dense clumps of asteroids, while others are scattered fields. For a list of which missions' deadspace pockets contain asteroids, see [[Mission Mining]] or [http://eve-survival.org/wikka.php?wakka=MiningInMissions EVE-survival].

Line 120: Line 121:
Each asteroid type has three further subtypes that yield more (+5% / +10% / +15%) minerals when [[reprocessing|reprocessed]]. Otherwise they are identical in every way to their base ore, and are found in the same regions, but in lower quantities, except for the +15% variant which is only found in moons. For instance, if an asteroid belt has Omber asteroids, it will also have some Silvery Omber asteroids and a few Golden Omber asteroids. If you get the chance, you should always mine the higher-yield variants before mining the base ore.
