Mining crystals: Difference between revisions

~~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~~.

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 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.

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.
