Mining: Difference between revisions

Line 16:

* '''Skill intensive''': Despite the low entry cost, it takes a lot of training time to become an efficient miner.

* '''Nontransferable skills''': Mining skills are useful only for mining.

* '''~~Questionable fun~~ factor''': The amount of fun that is involved in mining ~~is usually very low for most~~ people~~. People~~ in EVE tend to find more fun in blowing up ships or being blown up.

* '''Fun factor''': The amount of fun that is involved in mining depends of the kind of activity you like. Some people in EVE tend to find more fun in blowing up ships or being blown up. But there are many other roles you can play! Mining is mostly a team effort with FCs, Scouts, Boosters & Haulers and this is big fun!!! Sometimes you are invited to play mining 'bait' for [[WHC]] fleets. Which is awesome!

* '''Income ceiling''': ~~It is highly improbable to~~ earn ~~much more than 10m~~ ISK per hour as a ~~high sec miner while other professions~~ can be much more ~~lucrative~~.

* '''Income ceiling''': As a beginner solo miner you probably earn about 10 Million ISK per hour in High Security space. But if you join the [[AMC]] or participate in a mining fleet this will be boosted to about 14~24 Million per hour or more for ORE mining in HiSec. For ICE mining & GAS Huffing you can crank this up to much higher rates. Mining in non HiSec systems mostly brings more isk/hour but the risk will also be higher.
