Grab your smaller ship fitted with mining lasers, head out to the asteroid field, and find the asteroid you want to mine. So let's assume you've read that, and you've gotten a ship, a hauler (a ship with a larger cargohold to haul bigger quantities of ore), and know the ore that you're going after and where to find it.
#Eve online mining guide brave newbie how to#
It's a big document, but it'll get you going from when you first start skilling out, to how to survive as a miner in lowsec space. If you're a complete newbie to mining, I have to recommend this huge PDF guide to everything mining in EVE Online by Halada. Here's a short guide to how you can pull in as much ore as possible, even if you're by yourself and only have a short time to play.įirst off, this guide assumes that you've already picked out your ships, the ore you want, and that you know the general mechanics of mining and hauling. But it's a tough game to get into, and considering that there are probably a few newer people than myself out there in space (mostly on OS X and Linux), I thought it might be useful to tell you something I do know about: jetcanning. I have to say that I'm a relative noob still at EVE Online- lots of people have been playing for a lot longer than I have, and so I don't purport to know any more about the game than they do.
