The ''actual'' objective is to turn in 333 units of Tritanium to the agent - therefore, if you want, you could just mine ore until the rat spawns and you kill it and then buy the Tritanium off the [[trading|market]] (or, if you did the Tutorial, use some of the | '''{{co|#9ef37c|Granted when accepted:}}''' A Civilian Miner module. | ||
The ''actual'' objective is to turn in 333 units of Tritanium to the agent - therefore, if you want, you could just mine ore until the rat spawns and you kill it and then buy the Tritanium off the [[trading|market]] (or, if you did the Tutorial and/or [[Industry career agent|Industry Career Agent missions]], use some of the leftovers). The price of Tritanium on the local market will fluctuate based on supply and demand, but will usually be around 5-6 ISK per unit (so 333 units will cost you around 2000 ISK, which is a negligible amount of money). | |||
Fit a mining module (e.g. a Miner I from the Tutorial, or the Civilian Miner you received when you accepted the mission) to a ship (the Venture you received from the last mission is ideal, as it's a mining frigate, but you could also use most any other ship). You can go to any asteroid belt in the system and find an asteroid with [[Reprocessing#Ore|an ore which can be reprocessed into Tritanium]] (which, in [[high-sec|high security space]], is virtually any kind of asteroid) - alternatively, the mission has created a beacon with a single large "private" Veldspar asteroid. Given the competition for asteroids in newbie star systems, the beacon is probably the safer bet. | Fit a mining module (e.g. a Miner I from the Tutorial, or the Civilian Miner you received when you accepted the mission) to a ship (the Venture you received from the last mission is ideal, as it's a mining frigate, but you could also use most any other ship).

100 units of Veldspar ore reprocess into | 100 units of Veldspar ore reprocess into 400 units of Tritanium (you can find this out by either looking at the [[Reprocessing#Ore|reprocessing table on the wiki]], or by right-clicking on the Veldspar in-game, selecting "Show Info", and looking at the "Industry" tab) under ideal conditions (100% reprocessing yield). Particularly as a beginner character you will typically have around 50% reprocessing yield (which can be improved by training skills), so you will need at mine at least 200 units of Veldspar in order to get the required 333 Tritanium. Return to the station, move the ore from your ship into your Item Hangar on the station (note that, if you were using your Venture, the ore is in the Venture's special Ore Hold as opposed to the normal Cargo Hold), right-click on the ore and select "Reprocess". Note that you pay a small fee for reprocessing. | ||
