Wormholes

I'm curious about mining in wormholes. Do people export the raw stuff that they mine or is it compressed or reprocessed or repackaged (or whatever happens to that stuff)? Forgive my ignorance on the topic but I want to understand the logistics of wormhole mining and export - ta.

I agree. But people DO mine in wormholes and I want to know what they do. Perhaps it is all used in the wormhole for production.

I personally mine as bait. But there are often times no one takes the bait so I have a lot of ore built up. We recently put up a mobile compression unit and logistically it's been cake.

^ This. The only time someone should be mining in a WH is if they have a clean pod and warp in and leave their computer.

there are few ways what happens to ore

way 1.
mined ore is brought to pos into reprocessing array
ore after reprocssing is turning into minerals
once X amount minerals is stored , players decide to build ship,eweapons, shield or armor hardeners

way 2.
people mine the ore and bring to pos compressing array
raw ore is turned into compressed and now can be hauled out to highsec/lowsec for sale

in general DO NOT mine in wormhole unless you have alts/friends watching holes
mining in wormhole is not best way to make isk but can be tricky especially in highsec you wont find abc ores , all wormhole classes has abc ore and mining in wormhole is same as mining in nullsec , just theres no local so you dont know if someone following you.

gas mining.
generally gas in c1 c2 not much profitable but if notthing left to do then its good . best gas you will find in class 5 and class 6 wormhole be aware that ninja mining gas is not bad but someone can foecefully pull you out so hit dscan evry 2 seconds

why mining in wormhole is good?
- abc ores so means zydrine and megacyte minerals for you , you are building an machariel, bhaalgorn in highsec and you cry to buy megacyte/zydrine - rest ore you can mine normally if you mine in wormhole will be no problem for you
- good place to meet new people
- easy decapsulation.

why mining in wormhole is bad
- there can be cloaky proteus 4000m from you wanting to kill you
- if you didnt clear sleepers , they will clear for you off your ship.
- you mine in your ore site , next day you find that only veldspar left , your ore was stolen!
- you will be easy target if you are barging dscan may not save you from stealth bomber that can hit and run


where to mine ore?
- class 1 and class 2 wormhole are "safest" but you still will be killed if you wont keep dscan runnin
- if you have friend in wormhole , and friend corp does not use the ore you could get chance to use the ore but you have to defend on your own.
-use venture / prospect in most situations mining barge will work but you need to hit dscan often and have ats on holes if you hear wormhole weird sound - time to warp. .

good quantity ore site in low-end wormholes c1 and c2
- unexceptional frontier deposits .
that ore site holds a decent amount of arknor bistot and crockite also spoundan hedbergite and hemorphite. quite good portion of other ore too including gneiss and jaspet but first wait 20minutes off , kill sleepers, then mine your ore

what else?
feel free to do mining in wormhole, you are doing it at your own risk, howewer CODE doesnt gank in wspace so dont need permits

Is your ore being stolen in a wormhole actually a legitimate con? I mean ore theft in wormholes is a thing?!?

And this is still laughable, as in the time it took to mine that ABC ore, refine it, haul it to your HS builder, you could have run a few anoms and bought 10X as much.

i know it's my fav way to stick it to my neighbors!!!

Now that IS Boxer is being nerfed and we have entered a period of higher ore prices due to rampant speculation that no one mines in hisec except IS Boxing hordes of idiots, you may find it is more profitable to mine in w-space.

30M ISk an hour may sound like chickenfeed to us barnacle-ridden, urine-soaked bittervet types who have figured out how to make 100-550M an hour via various means. But to newbros, they can access 8 hours, or quarter of a billion ISK, in simple, brainless, easymode F1 AFK content which takes at most 1 week's training into a Retty.

They may get clobbered on hour #1. Bad luck.

Hour 2 and they are ahead on the equation 30M ISK. That's better than humping L1 and L2 missions and losing frigs, dessies and cruisers day in and day out.

Hour 3 and they're ahead of the game, big time.

After a week, it's time for a Storyline Green Machine triple-tanked Megathron Navy Issue, boys.

I live in a c4 and yes people do mine in wh's. The raw ore is compressed and hauled out through our static's. The effort is very worth it it's brought to home station and refined by a pilot with perfect refining skills, then the ore is contract hauled to jita, weekly. The corp-members get payed for the refined value of the ore, the corp purchases the ore and compresses what it does not need for manufacturing that week. Sounds like a lot of hassle, but really isnt. Reason why is, living in a wh you alwase have statics mapped out, and you know your exits ect.. and can alwase gain access to high-sec exits, or nul-low exits. So shipping is never an issue. This takes a lot of planning ahead of time and some corps spend years fine tuning how to be self sufficient in a wh and mining is absolutely a part of that overall plan.


Cyno me closer so i can hit them with my crayon.
