The goal is to determine the most efficient ore for mining, either in terms of a specific mineral or monetary gain.
We devised the Magerita test, using a basic Venture and an unskilled Alpha clone, to establish a fundamental baseline upon which all ship bonuses and player skills are founded.
Short version
- Raw ISK: Dense Veldspar, Concentrated Veldspar, Veldspar
- Reprocessed ISK: Brimful Zeolites (Moon+), Dense Veldspar, Zeolites (Moon+), Concentrated Veldspar
- EverMarks or SP: Veldspar (more easy to find and has the largest item-count)
- Tritanium: Massive Scordite, Condensed Scordite, Azure Plagioclase, Plagioclase, Concentrated Veldspar
- Mexallon: Azure Plagioclase, Plagioclase
- Pyerite: Brimful Zeolites (Moon+), Zeolites (Moon+), Massive Scordite

- all values based on “one Venture load” (5000 m3)
- Raw Price: the Compressed Counterpart of the raw ore based at 90% of Jita. (prices update near realtime)
- Refined: sum of all Mineral sells based at 90% of Jita. (prices update near realtime)
- Reprocessing done at 50% yield
- Percentages are compared to the “base material”
- Ship used: Basic Venture with EP-S Mining Lasers and a Mining Laser Upgrade I
- Pilot flying: Alpha Clone with minimal Skills to fly the Ship
