As most budding industrialists will notice, the profit margins on T1 production can be rather slim. That said, these items make a natural starting point for those just starting an industrial career. Therefore, it is of the upmost importance to minimize waste when producing goods. For a dedicated manufacturer who buys their materials, training the [[Skills:Production#Production_Efficiency|Production Efficiency]] skill to 5 and researching your blueprints for PE is the only way to do so. But for the comprehensive industrialist who likes to mine their own minerals, increasing refining efficiency is essential.
 
 
 
== What and Who this page is for ==
 
The UniWiki already contains an excellent page on the mechanics of [[Refining]]. This page goes into much detail on the skills required to obtain "Perfect Refining" status. You should definitely read it before continuing with this guide! As mentionned on that page, in addition to training a series of skills one must obtain a standing of 6.67 with a corporation that has refining facilities. This guide is for newer industrial characters based in or around the Uni's home system of Aldrat who wish to earn those standings, but may not have the combat skills required to quickly do so.
 
 
 
== Before we begin ==
 
The first decision that you must make is which corporation you would like to obtain standings with. While there are many valid options, this guide is written for those who are interested in refining with the [https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Minmatar_Mining_Corporation Minmatar Mining Corporation]. This is for the following reasons:
 
* You will be able to refine right in the system of Aldrat!
 
* There is a good number of agents available near Aldrat!
 
* The author of this guide chose them, so that's what data is available on this page!
 
 
 
Next, you will need to train some skills. While I understand the desire to save your skill queue for all the awesome industrially focused skills available to you, the grind to earn your standing requirement is exactly that: a grind. In order to make this process easier, it is highly recommended that you train the following skills:
 
* [[Skills:Social#Social|Social]] - While having this skill at level V would be very nice, you should almost certainly train this skill to level IV before begining the many missions you will be undertaking. Each level of this skill directly boosts the amount of standings gain you will earn per mission and therefore will decrease the time it will take you to complete your quest.
 
* [[Skills:Social#Connections]] - Train this skill to level III. The author of this guide ignored this reccomendation and spent a significant amount of time completing level 1 missions. Training this to level III will let you mostly bypass this worthless step.
 
* [[Skills:Social#Negotiation]] - This one's not really required. It only boosts the ISK reward for completing a mission. Training this will not help you complete your quest any faster, but taking a level or two will be quick and earn some extra money along the way.
