~~{{Update|Review for December 2021, Version 19.11 changes (Changes to mining crystals, and to boost strengths that may affect boosted mining crystal lifespan).~~

Frequency Crystals (used by [[Turrets#Energy_Turrets|laser turrets]]), and [[ORE Basic Ship and Skill Overview#Mining_crystals|Mining Crystals]], used by modulated mining modules <ref group=Note name=modulated /> in EVE Online may receive "damage" and eventually be consumed (or in common terms, ''shatter''). These crystals have a Hit Point value much like any other destructible object, and shattering occurs when enough damage is taken by the crystal to lower its hit points to zero. The life expectancy of a given crystal, i.e. the average amount of time it may be used before it shatters, may be calculated from its attributes.

~~Categorization needs to be looked at. This article is about the damage to crystals, both the mining and the laser turret type. Image needs updating.}}~~

As with most transportable objects in EVE Online, one may right-click a combat or mining crystal and choose Show Info. The information in which we are interested are within the Attributes tab of the Show Info window.

There are four ~~different~~ attributes that affect the life expectancy of a crystal. These attributes function identically for both combat and mining crystals.

== Formula ==

The formula for determining average life expectancy of a crystal is simple:

The formula for determining <em>average</em> life expectancy of a crystal is simple:

: <math>\text{Life Expectancy (in cycles)} = \text{Structure Hitpoints} / \text{Volatility} / \text{Volatility Damage}</math>

~~One~~ may then multiply the expected cycles by the cycle time to calculate a crystal's life expectancy over time. Remember that Volatility is a percentage, so for example, a crystal with a Volatility of 10% must use the value 0.10 in the equation.

For mining crystals, one may then multiply the expected cycles by the cycle time to calculate a crystal's life expectancy over time. Remember that Volatility is a percentage, so for example, a crystal with a Volatility of 10% must use the value 0.10 in the equation.

== Examples ==

As the volatility damage is chance based the following numbers are only an indication.

As the volatility damage is chance based the following numbers are <em>only</em> an indication.

The Simple Asteroid Mining Crystal Type A I has a Volatility of 10%, which means that for every cycle there is a 10% chance that it will receive damage. The amount of damage it receives will be the Volatility Damage value of 0.05 HP. It will shatter when its total damage reaches the Structure Hitpoints value of 1 HP.

This means that, on the average, the crystal has a life expectancy of <math>1 / 0.10 / 0.05 = 200</math> cycles. With a standard (unbonused) strip mining cycle time of 180 seconds, one may estimate that a crystal will endure approximately 36,000 seconds, or 10 hours, of constant mining before shattering.

The Simple Asteroid Mining Crystal Type A II has a Volatility of 12%. It has the same 0.05 HP Volatility Damage, and 1 HP Structure Hitpoints as the tech I variant. As a result, the crystal has a life expectancy of <math>1 / 0.12 / 0.05 = 166</math> cycles, about 8 hours.
