Mining is a simple, easy process of making money in EVE Online. As such, miners have flocked to EVE's asteroid belts in search of the best ores, or sometimes a lot of the less valuable ones. This is how to mine in the game.

Steps

  1. Pick an asteroid belt to mine in. Make sure it is clear of pirates, NPCs, and any other hazards.
  2. Warp to the asteroid belt and select an asteroid. Move within 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) of the asteroid.
  3. Target the asteroid and fire your mining lasers or launch mining drones.
  4. Wait for your cargo hold to fill. Optionally, you can drop the ore in a can and grab it later.
  5. Take the ore home.

Tips

  • If you find a system where NPC's never come, than mark it, because you just found a gold value place to mine. Don't deplete the asteroids completely so they can replenish themselves. Don't tell anybody else, besides your corporation.
  • It's a good idea to have a few combat drones to buy you time to run away if attacked.
  • The closer you are to the asteroid, the faster your drones gather ore.
  • If the NPC's do come and if you are to far away from your base, eject your pod and wait, no NPC will ever shoot at your pod, and they will not shoot at an abandoned ship.
  • While mining, right click on a station or stargate, then select set destination, repeat and select ALIGN TO. If attacked, just turn on autopilot, and you will instantly begin warping to it, since you don't waste the time it takes to turn the ship.
  • The frigate comes in handy when NPC's arrive and you can get the crap out of there.
  • A good plan is to set up a mining "base". Bring an industrial ship, cans, a frigate (or some other really fast ship), and your main mining ship one by one. Eject from them and leave them abandoned and get into your mining ship. Mine till your main mining ship is full then transport the ore into the cans. Keep on doing this until the cans are full. Use the transport ship to collect the cans and travel to your base. Warp your pod back to your base and fly everything back to the base.(This is dangerous because players can scan your ships and thus steal them away)

Warnings

  • As a general rule, the rarer the ore the more dangerous it is to extract. This is due to NPCs, pirates, and the difficulty in accessing a particular area of space.
  • Cans disappear after 2 hours.
  • Specialized mining craft are often slow, so they take longer to warp away from danger.
  • Mining mercoxit can cause a deadly damage cloud. Be careful.
