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
