My ship is currently a Venture with 2 Mining II lasers. My mining level is IV. Out of these 3 ores (The only 3 i know where to find) Which one would i be better suited to make the most ISK?

And if i were to refine the ores, (I have refining III its almost IV) would the profit be greater or less? (For all three ores)


You know what?

Just mine whatever is handy. You'll lose more isk scanning and cherry picking good rocks than if you just start at one end of a belt and work your way to the other.

As an example, my mack's hold holds 35k M3 (or something like that). A load of veld is around 4.6m isk value, Scordite a little more and around 5.5m isk for Pyrox. So a venture is going to have a pretty insignificant difference per load.

That'll change when/if you get into something that can use crystals, but for now I wouldn't worry about it much.

As to refining. The higher the skills and the better the standing in a decent 50% station, the better your yield. But the quick thing to do is just refine whatever the minimum is and compare the market value with an equal amount of unrefined. See which is better.
