How much isk could I make in 0.0 with maxed skill hulk and hauler alt in a mammoth, in 0.0 pet hour? What ore should I mine? And my corp owns the area

To many variables to tell you, part of being an Industrial player is worksheets. Get used to Excel because it will be a time saver for "silly" questions like these ;D

No one can give you a direct answer of isk/hour due to the fact of How much yield you get, refining skills, Logistics to getting it out to high sec to sell, and the travel time.

Research the prices, your refining skills, and such.

First Step :)

If you dont mind the extra work, strip out all ore in system, jump freighter it back to high sec, refine, profit

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

According to EFT a perfect hulk + drones:

1,859m3 arkonor per minute (3 strips, T2 mining drones, implants).
111,540m3 per 60 minutes


Arkonor currently :426.29/m3 , 6820.64/each

47,548,386 isk per hour. This is a "perfect" situation and perfect miner.

Perfect orca boost is like 55% more. Rorqual like 65% more.


That's not counting loss to slow drones/ore weight, Rats, hauling, crystals, etc, Or the loss refining (corp/alliance tax) hauling costs, roids running out 1/2 though a cycle, ice costs (if using a rorqual) etc.



You'll never get 100%, just so you know. You'll be stuck mining A,B,C ores and not just mining Arkonor. And hauling with an industrial will be causing you to lose quite a bit of time as well (roughly 2 minutes every jetcan, assuming your indy can haul a jetcan).

I'm guessing you're going to use the industrial to haul to station/POS and not through null? Because if you're planning on using it for anything other than belt / gravsite to pos / station you're living in a fantasy world.

Realistically you're better off hoping for 75% profit, and even that would be pretty high in my opinion. The real way to make isk mining in null is with at least an orca boosting, and a rorqual just makes things so much better.

Your first mistake is that you play this game with ISK/hour mentality...

you can earn up in the 50-60mil/hr mining mercoxit and selling the refined stuff.

It depends on a lots of things.
How big is the traffic? If there are lot of neuts/reds going through, you have to pause mining and warp to safe and wait till they gone.
Maybe some afk-cloakers infect your system and break your operations.
Can you refine at your place, or you have to haul the ore?
How much mineral you can haul relatively safe?
What is the cost to haul your stuff to a place where you can sell for good prices?

Yes. But.

With a Hauler and a Rorqual (assuming the pilot is maxed out with the mindlink).

The basic fact is that you mine Arkonor. I'm sure you can be a good boy and do the math yourself based off mineral prices.

Unfortunately unless you live somewhere where there is a lot of belts of Ark, then you will quickly empty the grav site in about 2-3 hours and be left with low-sec ores to mine.

This is one of the issues that CCP really has to start to deal with. I have no idea which ignoramus put the huge spodumain rocks in grav sites, but I would love to run into him in a dark alley.
