I want to join a corp and mine with them. But before I do that, I want to be able to use exhumers. At the moment I am training for Exhumers lvl 4. I might go for Exhumers lvl 5 after that, but I don't know if I should train something else before that or what I should train after.

It would be nice, if I could get some hints on what I should go for.

Thanks in advance. Big smile

mining upgrades 4 so you can use mining/ice laser upgrade 2
"ore" processing skills to 4 so you can use the relevant t2 mining crystal
drones 5 so you can field a full set of drones
mining drone 5 so you can use t2 mining drones (if you use any )
drone interfacing 5 to increase mining drone yields 20% per level

these will increase your mining output but never forget that even miners need to get their core skills up to speed- navigation for when you have to get out of Dodge quickly, shields for gankers etc, hull upgrades 4 so you can fit a damage control2, drone navigation so your mining drones get to the rock quickly etc

if you are joining a decent mining corp they won't mind that you don't have every skill already- they would be able to advise you on skill plans too. also they may have boosters to further increase your mining yield so if you think you have found a good corp it is better to join sooner rather than later
