Hi

I currently have 24 accounts running mining ops around 15 hours per day unless I have church and I was wondering what the greatest scale for maximizing yields and efficiency were. I make good profits currently but I am sure there is always more to be made so I will ask the experts. Currently 4 chars can be orca and all chars are exhumers V capable. I may also get into manufacture for profit with all the no cost minerals I mine but right now just sell for profit.

I play this for fun and as I add more account to make even more isk and improve play I am sure someone else has done this better but I could not find a guide yet.

also any way to stop harassers from the belt is good tip too sometime i have to move and makes very bad game time for me.

Thanks for help!

Are you mining ICE or Ore?

Once you go over 3-4 accounts with a fully maxed orca, you start losing efficiency due to roid not lastinh long/hauling/moving between system.

Best way to reduce those would be to be in a secure Nullsec system with good info channels. Bigger roids, less travelling/exploding roids.


If you want to stay in Hi-sec be warned that 24 accounts will munch a belt extremely fast, and you probably will go crazy with the logistics of moving everyone around. I tried with 10 and it became too much, i can't fathom with 24

Minerals you mine aren't free and if you build stuff with that mentality you could end up losing isk rather than just selling the minerals outright. And running 24 accounts that only mine is about the most inefficient way to make isk there is. The reason for this is that mining doesn't scale well (at all) with increasing net wealth so adding more accounts won't get you anymore isk when you factor in the cost for PLEX each month.

For example lets assume you make 10mil/hr/account mining and run 24 accounts that means you're making 240mil/hr which sounds great but in reality you're still only making 10mil/hr/account. Whereas running L4s making 20mil/hr/account would mean you could downsize to 12 accounts and end up with alot more isk at the end of each month since you would need 12 fewer PLEX for the same amount of work or you could keep running 24 accounts but only need to grind for 7 hours instead of 15.

But the same thing can be said for mission running as no matter how many accounts you multibox with you will be stuck at about 20mil/hr/account so having 24 accounts multiboxing missions isn't near as efficient as an experienced trader can do with 1-2 accounts. Because trading scales with increasing wealth.

Or you can get 3 shooters, go to 0.0 and do 240 mil/hour easily :D

Mining with tons of pilots is good when you don't really care about getting best ISK/hour but you only look on the total ISK that you get left at the end of month or so.

If you mine in 0.0, it takes around 15 hours to mine for plex, rest of the mine is your pure profit. And the profit is bigger when it is mined by 20 accounts then 5 accounts.

I'll have to agree with Markus Navarro, get into nullsec. You will have less harassment on average, you can mine a lot more, and make a lot more profits. We are basically carebears you know.
