THere are many reasons why Scordite is so valuable (in order of importance):

1) The war in Delve. Ship production requires large quantities of Pye and Trit. Everytime there's a war, prices for Pye and Trit skyrocket.
2) Hulkageddon put significant pressure on high sec ore supplies.
3) Null sec miners mine in grav sites, which lack appropriate supplies of high sec ores. Either that, or they are too stupid to realize that Spodumain is the worst possible ore to mine.

If you want to flip the belt, you have to mine the spod.

The ratio of roids to mineral use is really not that good. That's the real issue in null. I don't see why I shouldnt have access to the most ginormous veld rocks in the game in null.

with regards to grav sites in upgraded 0.0 systems once you mine all the roids in the site, after 15 mins of nobody being on grid the site will respawn elsewhere in the system ready for you to mine again without having to wait for downtime like you do with regular asteroid belts.

obvious exceptions of mercoxit and ice to be noted as they're mined at a different rate because.... ccp are awkward.
although mercoxit is arguably amazing because the m3 is lower than other ores for the same isk/time


Merx has to be special because... umm... Oops?


But yeah, less m3 to transport is nice. I suppose it depends on the Ore Compression's ratio though.

i am poor, i do not have a rorq, i cannot compress. mercoxit is amazing, don't take that away from me!

with regards to 3) i actually had to tell some one to stop mining spodumain... he needed trit and saw you got 4k trit per refined batch and that was his reasoning for mining it.

after laughing to myself for a short while i explained to him just because it's 4k/batch doesn't mean it's the best thing to mine and pointed out you mine in m3 not batches and batch sizes vary etc.

so in short; you'd be surprised what people mine in null sec....

I was bit surprised when I discovered that Scordite is the most valuable high sec ore and third most valuable ore in the whole galaxy.

Is highsec mineral supply depleted or what?


The game is going back to its roots. For the first 5 years of the game scordite was always the most valuable highsec ore, the recent prominence of veldspar did not occur until CCP eliminated NPC shuttle offers which had capped trit prices by allowing players to buy shuttles from NPC corps and scrap them for trit.

And I am not surprised that many players, some quite experienced miners, have no clue what the relative value of different ores really is. It never ceases to amaze me, if not surprise me, how many highsec miners spend most of their time mining omber.
