During the Industrial Career Agent, you can mine Veldspar and Kernite. Doing so will allow you to save you upwards of ISK 5M but also means the AIR Career Programme will take a little longer.

Alternatively, you will buy the resources later on in a [[trade hub]] and do the quicker Distribution missions and salvaging tasks instead. | During the Industrial Career Agent, you can mine Veldspar and Kernite.
