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
