Asteroids and ore: Difference between revisions

From EVE University Wiki
Add link. Rename medium Jaspet to average Jaspet conform Catalyst expansion notes.
Add {{Update}} for Catalyst. Add highsec anomaly sites.

{{Update|Need additional table information for border/A0 and Pochven asteroids. Outdated info on 'collossal' etc belts should be removed. }}
{{Update|Needs an overhaul for the Catalyst expansion [https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/catalyst-expansion-notes Expansion notes]}}


'''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.

There are different types of asteroid cosmic anomalies, named by what kinds of ores are contained within. Each type comes in several variants (small, medium, average, and large) – the "larger" the anomaly, the more asteroids (and hence the more ore) it contains. A "Small Kernite and Omber Deposit" therefore contains a small number of Kernite and Omber asteroids, while a "Large Bistot Deposit" contains a large number of Bistot asteroids. Different types may have different number of variants. Smaller anomalies tend to contain only base ore variety and larger ones contain all three variaties (base, +5% and +10%).

Highsec does not have ore anomalies, the exceptions being border ores (see {{Section link||Border ores}}) and [[Asteroid Belt Remnants]] anomaly in new players spawn areas which contain Veldspar. Lowsec, NPC nullsec, Sovereign nullsec, Wormhole space and Triglavian space all have different types of anomalies.
