Asteroids and ore: Difference between revisions

From EVE University Wiki
Asteroid distribution: the table looks nice, but its easy to mix up items when editing. Amarr has Jaspet, in 0.4 rather than kernite
Asteroid distribution: Note about Mercoxit

In general, the rarer the ore, the higher its volume per unit (e.g. one unit of Veldspar has a volume of 0.1&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, whereas one unit of Arkonor has a volume of 16&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>). Since mining lasers mine a given ''volume'' of ore per minute, it takes longer to mine the rarer ore types. Additionally, each ore refines into a different set of minerals; for details, see [[Refining]].

Note that mining Mercoxit requires the {{sk|Deep Core Mining}} skill as well as [[ORE Basic Ship and Skill Guide#High-slot modules|special mining modules]] (Deep Core Miners or Deep Core Strip Miners). All other ore types can be mined with all types of ore mining lasers or strip miners.


Ice follows a similar geographic distribution to ore; for details, see [[Ice Mining]].
