There are two generic skills that affect a player’s ability to refine: [[Skills:Resource Processing#Refining|Reprocessing] and [[Skills:Resource Processing#Refinery Efficiency|Reprocessing Efficiency]], both of which are available from NPC stations. | There are two generic skills that affect a player’s ability to refine: [[Skills:Resource Processing#Refining|Reprocessing]] and [[Skills:Resource Processing#Refinery Efficiency|Reprocessing Efficiency]], both of which are available from NPC stations. Reprocessing is the first skill you will need to improve efficiency, and will cost approximately 45,000 ISK. (This cost can be covered by the university's [[The Skillbook Program|skillbook program]].) Each level of Reprocessing will increase the pilot's efficiency by 3% for a maximum of 15% increase. Reprocessing Efficiency adds an additional 2% per level, up to 10% at level 5 skill, and requires Reprocessing level IV to train and costs 250,000 ISK from NPC stations. | ||
To further reduce waste, there are individual ore skills for each ore type, and a generic ice skill for all ice types. Each level of that respective skill offers a final 2% increase to efficiency for the corresponding material, 10% at level V. The max possible refining efficiency with all 5 skills, at a 50% NPC station with perfect standings is 70%. The max possible efficiency in game with perfect skills and a [[Implants|+5% implant]] using a fully upgraded Minmatar outpost is 88%. Thus, you can never achieve "perfect refining" and there will always be some waste. | To further reduce waste, there are individual ore skills for each ore type, and a generic ice skill for all ice types.
