Revised lead paragraph.
Line 1: Line 1:
'''Ore''' is the basic material found in the various '''asteroid''' fields throughout EVE. In their native form asteroid ores cannot be used, but must be [[reprocessing|reprocessed]] into minerals, which can then be used for ship and equipment [[Manufacturing|manufacture]].
'''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. Each type of ore has a base version simply named after the ore itself, and two variations which yield 5% and 10% more minerals respectively when refined. Individual asteroids contain only one kind of ore, but groups of asteroids can contain multiple types.
