'''Asteroids''' are large irregular chunks of rock that can be found in many places throughout New Eden. When mined, asteroids yield '''ore''' which, when refined, produces minerals of various types that serve as the basic building blocks of almost every [[Manufacturing|craftable]] item.

=== Asteroid belts ===
 
=== Asteroid belts ===
 +
Virtually every star system in EVE (with the notable exception of Jita) has at least one asteroid belt. Most star systems have several – up to more than a dozen in some cases. These belts are listed on the [[overview]] and the right-click menu, and can have two kinds of geometry: one is a rough semicircle of asteroids, approximately 50 km in diameter, the other being asteroids dispersed over a spherical volume with a radius of about 70 km. A ship warping to an asteroid belt's beacon (through the right-click menu or the overview) will warp to the center of the asteroids. Note that mining lasers have an (unboosted) range of only 10-15 km, so in order to mine asteroids a ship has to fly closer to the belt after warping in. If you want to save on travel time, you can warp to [[Mining#Bookmarks|mining bookmarks]] instead.

Virtually every star system in EVE (with the notable exception of [[Jita]]) has at least one asteroid belt. Most star systems have several -- up to more than a dozen in some cases. These belts are listed on the [[overview]] and the right-click menu, and always have the same geometry: a rough semicircle of asteroids, approximately 50 km in diameter.

+
A given belt will have a mixture of asteroids containing different ores. The mixture and size of the asteroids (i.e. how much ore each asteroid contains) is determined by the system's location in the EVE universe and its security status (see [[#Asteroid distribution|asteroid distribution]] below). Each asteroid belt contains a finite number of asteroids (which disappear once fully mined), but the asteroids respawn after [[downtime]] if there are no asteroids left. The website [https://evemaps.dotlan.net/ Dotlan] has maps showing the number of belts per system.

=== Deadspace pockets ===
 
−
Mineable asteroids can also spawn in [[deadspace]] pockets, such as the ones created for missions. Unlike asteroid belts, these are not organized into a set shape. Some are composed of dense clumps of asteroids, while others are scattered fields. For a list of which missions' deadspace pockets contain asteroids, see [[Mission Mining]] or [http://eve-survival.org/wikka.php?wakka=MiningInMissions EVE-survival].

Lastly, one of the two kinds of [[Cosmic Anomaly|cosmic anomaly]] contains asteroids (the others contains hostile rats). The asteroids in cosmic anomalies tend to be a little larger and contain rarer ore than the normal asteroid belts in a star system. However, unlike asteroid belts, once all the asteroids in the anomaly have been mined, the anomaly disappears after broadcasting a short message in Local. As with all cosmic anomalies, new anomalies spawn semi-randomly.

Note that in many locations you will find decorative asteroids, which cannot be mined or otherwise interacted with. These will have colorful names such as "Snake-shaped Asteroid".

There are different types of asteroid cosmic anomalies, named by what kinds of ores are contained within. Each type comes in three variants (small, average, and large) - the "larger" the anomaly, the more asteroids (and hence the more ore) it contains. A "Small Kernite and Omber Deposit" therefore contains a small number of Kernite and Omber asteroids, while a "Large Bistot Deposit" contains a large number of Bistot asteroids. Ore anomalies will contain all three variants of the ores they contain.

=== Ore Prospecting Arrays ===
 
−
 
 
−
In player-owned [[Sovereignty|sovereign nullsec]], it is possible to deploy {{co|wheat|Ore Prospecting Arrays}}, a deployable sovereignty structure which, when deployed in a system, periodically generates asteroid clusters of various sizes at set intervals.
 
−
 
 
−
All sizes of asteroid clusters are capable of spawning regardless of system security status, and all clusters of a given size contain the same volume of ore, but asteroid clusters in lower security levels will spawn the more valuable ore variants with greater frequency. With the exception of Small Asteroid Clusters (which lack Mercoxit), all clusters contain varying amounts of all nullsec ore types: Arkonor, Bistot, Crokite, Dark Ochre, Gneiss, Spodumain, and Mercoxit.

−
Each of these four quarters has its own set of asteroid types. Additionally, the lower the [[Security Rating|security rating]] of a system, the rarer the asteroid types that can be found there. Finally, each system can also include all the asteroid types of same-quarter higher-security systems. For example, a Gallente system with a security rating of 0.7 will have asteroid belts with not only Omber asteroids, but also Veldspar, Scordite, and Plagioclase asteroids.

=== Ores in null security space ===

=== Ore anomalies ===
−
Null security space is not as clearly defined as high security due to being player owned. Instead it is easiest to classify it by Security Class, which is most easily viewed via sites like [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/ Dotlan] by using the Security Class filter on a map.

* Note that, going down each column, all ores present in the class above also spawn. For instance, "J" systems spawn Veldspar, Scordite, Pyroxeres, Plagioclase, and Jaspet. "J1" systems have all of those, plus Dark Ochre. "J2" systems have everything in "J1" systems, plus Crokite, and so on.
 
  
−
In general, the rarer the ore, the higher its volume per unit (e.g. one unit of Veldspar has a volume of 0.1&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, whereas one unit of Arkonor has a volume of 16&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>). Since mining lasers mine a given ''volume'' of ore per minute, it takes longer to mine the rarer ore types. Additionally, each ore reprocesses into a different set of minerals. For details, see [[Reprocessing]].  
+
==== Ore Prospecting Arrays ====
 +
In player-owned [[Sovereignty|sovereign nullsec]], it is possible to deploy {{co|wheat|Ore Prospecting Arrays}}, a deployable sovereignty structure which, when deployed in a system, periodically generates asteroid clusters of various sizes at set intervals.
  
−
Note that mining Mercoxit requires the {{sk|Deep Core Mining}} skill as well as [[ORE Basic Ship and Skill Guide#High-slot modules|special mining modules]] (Deep Core Miners or Deep Core Strip Miners). All other ore types can be mined with all types of ore mining lasers or strip miners.
+
All sizes of asteroid clusters are capable of spawning regardless of system security status, and all clusters of a given size contain the same volume of ore, but asteroid clusters in lower security levels will spawn the more valuable ore variants with greater frequency. With the exception of Small Asteroid Clusters (which lack Mercoxit), all clusters contain varying amounts of all nullsec ore types: Arkonor, Bistot, Crokite, Dark Ochre, Gneiss, Spodumain, and Mercoxit.
  
−
=== Ore variants ===
+
:[[Small Asteroid Cluster]] • [[Medium Asteroid Cluster]] • [[Large Asteroid Cluster]] • [[Enormous Asteroid Cluster]] • [[Colossal Asteroid Cluster]]
  
−
Each asteroid type has three further subtypes that yield more (+5% / +10% / +15%) minerals when [[reprocessing|reprocessed]]. Otherwise they are identical in every way to their base ore, and are found in the same regions, but in lower quantities, except for the +15% variant which is only found in moons. For instance, if an asteroid belt has Omber asteroids, it will also have some Silvery Omber asteroids and a few Golden Omber asteroids. If you get the chance, you should always mine the higher-yield variants before mining the base ore.
+
Respawn cooldown to all Asteroid Cluster anomalies scales based on the size of the anomaly:{{Plainlist|
 +
* 1 hour for the Small Asteroid Cluster
 +
* 2 hours for the Medium Asteroid Cluster
 +
* 3 hours for the Large Asteroid Cluster
 +
* 4 hours for the Enormous Asteroid Cluster
 +
* 5 hours for the Colossal Asteroid Cluster

 +
The Resource Distribution update on December 17, 2019 removed Veldspar and Spodumain from Null Sec Asteroid belts, and reduced the value of the largest Ore Prospecting Anomalies. It is as of yet unclear if the removed ore types were replaced with others at different security levels and classes. See [https://www.eveonline.com/article/q2tmpn/resource-distribution this dev post] for the official announcement, which deliberately came 3 days after the change.

== Ore variants ==
 +
Most asteroid types have two extra subtypes that yield more (+5% / +10%) minerals when [[reprocessing|reprocessed]]; some of the ores have also a +15% subtype. Otherwise they are identical in every way to their base ore, and are found in the same regions, but in lower quantities. For instance, if an asteroid belt has Omber asteroids, it will also have some Silvery Omber asteroids and a few Golden Omber asteroids. If you get the chance, you should always mine the higher-yield variants before mining the base ore.

Latest revision as of 13:29, 26 April 2024

This page should be updated due to game changes.
Reason: Need additional table information for border/A0 and Pochven asteroids.

Asteroids are large irregular chunks of rock that can be found in many places throughout New Eden. When mined, asteroids yield ore which, when refined, produces minerals of various types that serve as the basic building blocks of almost every craftable item.

Where to find asteroids

An asteroid belt. The ship in the middle is sitting at the warp-in point.
Asteroid belt geometry

Asteroid belts

Virtually every star system in EVE (with the notable exception of Jita) has at least one asteroid belt. Most star systems have several – up to more than a dozen in some cases. These belts are listed on the overview and the right-click menu, and can have two kinds of geometry: one is a rough semicircle of asteroids, approximately 50 km in diameter, the other being asteroids dispersed over a spherical volume with a radius of about 70 km. A ship warping to an asteroid belt's beacon (through the right-click menu or the overview) will warp to the center of the asteroids. Note that mining lasers have an (unboosted) range of only 10-15 km, so in order to mine asteroids a ship has to fly closer to the belt after warping in. If you want to save on travel time, you can warp to mining bookmarks instead.

A given belt will have a mixture of asteroids containing different ores. The mixture and size of the asteroids (i.e. how much ore each asteroid contains) is determined by the system's location in the EVE universe and its security status (see asteroid distribution below). Each asteroid belt contains a finite number of asteroids (which disappear once fully mined), but the asteroids respawn after downtime if there are no asteroids left. The website Dotlan has maps showing the number of belts per system.

Cosmic anomalies

One of the two kinds of cosmic anomaly contains asteroids (the others contains hostile rats). The asteroids in cosmic anomalies tend to be a little larger and contain rarer ore than the normal asteroid belts in a star system. However, unlike asteroid belts, once all the asteroids in the anomaly have been mined, the anomaly disappears after broadcasting a short message in Local. As with all cosmic anomalies, new anomalies spawn semi-randomly.

Note that in many locations you will find decorative asteroids, which cannot be mined or otherwise interacted with. These will have colorful names such as "Snake-shaped Asteroid".

There are different types of asteroid cosmic anomalies, named by what kinds of ores are contained within. Each type comes in several variants (small, medium, average, and large) – the "larger" the anomaly, the more asteroids (and hence the more ore) it contains. A "Small Kernite and Omber Deposit" therefore contains a small number of Kernite and Omber asteroids, while a "Large Bistot Deposit" contains a large number of Bistot asteroids. Different types may have different number of variants. Smaller anomalies tend to contain only base ore variety and larger ones contain all three variaties (base, +5% and +10%).

Highsec does not have ore anomalies, the exceptions being border ores (see further) and Asteroid Belt Remnants anomaly in new players spawn areas which contain Veldspar. Lowsec, NPC nullsec, Sovereign nullsec, Wormhole space and Triglavian space all have different types of anomalies.

Deadspace pockets

Mineable asteroids can also spawn in deadspace pockets, such as the ones created for missions. Unlike asteroid belts, these are not organized into a set shape. Some are composed of dense clumps of asteroids, while others are scattered fields. For a list of which missions' deadspace pockets contain asteroids, see Mission mining or EVE-survival.

Ore locations

An asteroid belt, as seen on the overview. Note the belt's warp-in point (marked with an inverted triangle), as well as the variety of different asteroid types (all labelled according to what kind of ore they contain).
For the distribution of ice asteroids, see Ice distribution.

The EVE universe can be divided into four quarters:

  • The Amarr quarter (includes systems held by the Amarr, Ammatar, Khanid, Blood Raiders, and Sansha's Nation)
  • The Caldari quarter (includes systems held by the Caldari and Guristas)
  • The Gallente quarter (includes systems held by the Gallente and Serpentis)
  • The Minmatar quarter (includes systems held by the Minmatar and Angel Cartel)

Each of these four quarters has its own set of asteroid types. Additionally, systems with different security rating have different asteroid types.

  • Mercoxit, Arkonor and Bistot (small • average • large)
  • Dark Ochre (Small, Average, Large)
  • Gneiss (Small, Average, Large)
  • Kernite (Small, Average, Large)
  • Spodumain (Small, Average, Large)

Note that mining Mercoxit requires the Deep Core Mining skill as well as special mining modules (Deep Core Miners or Deep Core Strip Miners). All other ore types can be mined with all types of ore mining lasers or strip miners.

Wormholes

Arkonor, Bistot, Gneiss, Kernite, Omber, and Pyroxeres deposits may be found in wormholes.

Pochven

With the creation of Pochven, new ore types were added to the game which can only be found in these areas. Bezdnacine, Rakovene, and Talassonite are the new ores, while Spodumain and Mercoxit can also be found there, with Mercoxit only spawning in home systems.

Ore Prospecting Arrays

In player-owned sovereign nullsec, it is possible to deploy Ore Prospecting Arrays, a deployable sovereignty structure which, when deployed in a system, periodically generates asteroid clusters of various sizes at set intervals.

All sizes of asteroid clusters are capable of spawning regardless of system security status, and all clusters of a given size contain the same volume of ore, but asteroid clusters in lower security levels will spawn the more valuable ore variants with greater frequency. With the exception of Small Asteroid Clusters (which lack Mercoxit), all clusters contain varying amounts of all nullsec ore types: Arkonor, Bistot, Crokite, Dark Ochre, Gneiss, Spodumain, and Mercoxit.

Small Asteroid Cluster • Medium Asteroid Cluster • Large Asteroid Cluster • Enormous Asteroid Cluster • Colossal Asteroid Cluster

Respawn cooldown to all Asteroid Cluster anomalies scales based on the size of the anomaly:

  • 1 hour for the Small Asteroid Cluster
  • 2 hours for the Medium Asteroid Cluster
  • 3 hours for the Large Asteroid Cluster
  • 4 hours for the Enormous Asteroid Cluster
  • 5 hours for the Colossal Asteroid Cluster

Ore variants

Most asteroid types have two extra subtypes that yield more (+5% / +10%) minerals when reprocessed; some of the ores have also a +15% subtype. Otherwise they are identical in every way to their base ore, and are found in the same regions, but in lower quantities. For instance, if an asteroid belt has Omber asteroids, it will also have some Silvery Omber asteroids and a few Golden Omber asteroids. If you get the chance, you should always mine the higher-yield variants before mining the base ore.

Mineral Composition of Ores

Main article: Minerals
Main article: Reprocessing

The main goal of asteroid mining is to obtain ore that may be reprocessed into minerals: Mineral tritanium.png Tritanium, Mineral pyerite.png Pyerite, Mineral mexallon.png Mexallon, Mineral isogen.png Isogen, Mineral nocxium.png Nocxium, Mineral zydrine.png Zydrine, Mineral megacyte.png Megacyte and Mineral morphite.png Morphite. The amounts of particular mineral highly differ between different ores, leading to some ores being in high demand and having high market value and some ores being borderline worthless.
