eve online ores

In EVE Online, ores are raw materials mined from asteroids, which are then refined into minerals used for manufacturing ships, modules, and other items. Heres a breakdown of the different types of ores, where theyre found, and their uses: High-Sec (High-Security Space) Ores Veldspar Refines into Tritanium (basic mineral, used in almost everything). Scordite Tritanium + Pyerite. Pyroxeres Tritanium, Pyerite, Mexallon. Plagioclase Tritanium, Pyerite, Mexallon, Isogen. Omber Pyerite, Isogen, Mexallon. Kernite Isogen, Mexallon. Jaspet Mexallon, Nocxium. (High-sec ores are the most common but yield fewer valuable minerals.) Low-Sec (Low-Security Space) Ores Hemorphite Tritanium, Isogen, Nocxium, Zydrine. Hedbergite Pyerite, Isogen, Nocxium, Zydrine. Gneiss Pyerite, Mexallon, Isogen, Nocxium. Dark Ochre Tritanium, Isogen, Nocxium, Zydrine. Spodumain Tritanium, Pyerite, Megacyte, Zydrine (high-volume mining, used for capital ships). (Low-sec ores contain more valuable minerals like Zydrine and Megacyte but are riskier to mine.) Null-Sec (Null-Security Space) Ores Bistot Pyerite, Zydrine, Megacyte. Arkonor Tritanium, Megacyte, Zydrine (used in T2 and capital production). Mercoxit Morphite (used in Tech 2 production, requires special mining crystals). (Null-sec ores are the most valuable, especially Arkonor and Bistot, but require strong mining fleets due to PvP risks.) Ice Mining (High, Low, Null-Sec) Ice Refined into Isotopes (fuel for structures, POS, and reactions). Enriched Clear Icicle, Glacial Mass, etc. Used in fuel blocks for capitals and structures. (Ice mining is slower but highly profitable due to demand for fuel.) Moon Mining (Moons in All Space Types) Moon Ores Refined into R4, R8, R16, R32, R64 materials (used in T2 production and reactions). Moon Goo (e.g., Titanium Chromide, Sylramic Fibers) Used in Tech 2 manufacturing and capital components. (Moon mining requires a Refinery (Athanor/Tatara) and is controlled by alliances.) Best Ores for Profit (2024) Null-Sec: Arkonor, Bistot, Mercoxit (high ISK/hour, but risky). Low-Sec: Gneiss, Spodumain (good balance of value and accessibility). High-Sec: Plagioclase, Pyroxeres (safe but lower profit). Refining & Efficiency Tips Use Refining Skills (e.g., Refining Efficiency V) to maximize mineral output. Reprocessing Implants (e.g., Zainou 'Beancounter') improve yield. Stations with low tax (e.g., 0% NPC stations) are best for refining.
