If shooting red crosses is not your type of work you may want to consider the second popular profession in EVE: Mining. Mining is as straightforward as is doing security missions. You start out with a [[Venture]] and then progress to [[Mining Barge|Mining Barges]] and [[Exhumer|Exhumers]]. Mining is infamous for being able to be done afk. Just start your mining lasers and do something else while your ship fills its orehold automatically.

There is a basic guide on [[mining]] in the wiki. When you become more proficient you may also try [[Ice Mining]] or even [[Gas Cloud Mining]]. If you are a member of EVE University you will have access to our [[Mining Loaner Fleet]] where you can lend free mining ships. You should also join the [[Amarr Mining Campus]] where you will get advice and can join mining fleets. This fleets will usually provide an [[Orca]] which will increase your mining yield.

If you have no access to the [[AMC]] you should consider getting a second account in order to train a hauler and Orca alt.

If you have ~~no access~~ to the [[~~AMC~~]] you should ~~consider getting~~ a ~~second account in order to train a hauler and Orca alt~~.

After you have mined your ore you might consider refining it. This is not the default choice but needs some serious calculation. Since refining is determined by your skills and your standing with the corporation owning the station where you refine a considerable amount of minerals might be lost to the Nether if you are a new player. Unista [[Makie Tachibana]] created a helpful [https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByIiSolpXj4BM0d5cC1RZ2RraFk/edit?usp=sharing&pli=1 spreadsheet] for you to determine if you should refine or just sell your ore. If you are a member of EVE University you can also use the [[Perfect Refine List|Perfect Refine Service]] where other Unistas will do the refining for you.
