Mining missions are far better for AFKing than mining in belts. You don't have to worry about gankers


Can't you scan down someone in a mission?

This is what brought the idea to my attention. Originally I had my alt running around null doing exploration sites in my buzzard, while doing sec missions or faction war on my main. It wasn't "fun" to me though, felt more like work then playing a game. Dual boxing is too tedious. I made this post too see if that thread was correct. From what I see from some of the replys, it seems you can only really pull about 8-10m per hour from lvl 4s, but that's about what you get for mining belts in high sec isn't it? All in all even if the isk/h is lower from mining missions It seems to be a lot less needing of attention then belt mining. I think I will grind up to the 4's and see how they go. Thanks for your help GD.

Take what he says with a grain of salt as he's overly optimistic on the earnings per hour and the amount earned from LP.

He also glosses over the grind to get the missions and the tedium of some of the level 4 missions..

EVE is not the game for you. This is the game for you.

I just read this, this nobbit is actually promoting and encouraging afk 'gameplay'. I feel bad for the wasted brain power that goes into justifying how not playing = playing.

Hello GD, I have been playing eve for a couple months now and have two accounts. I'm looking to partially afk mine on one while I do something else on the other. With all factors like lp gains vs haul times and finding belts included, will high sec belt mining or level IV mining missions bring better isk/hour for a solo pilot?


Suggest you also consider the anoms that spawn ore on a constant basis -- they've always been there, they're just more easily found and more plentiful since Odyssey's changes to both scanning (all you need to do is run your Scanner Overlay and let it sweep the skies) and resources.

AFK is the way to go.
