Eve Online - Getting Started - Solo Mining - Episode 1

this is for all my mining buddies out there all my mining fans I haven't done really a series over mining for the most part everything's been kind of you know ratting and things like that but this is kind of a different series that I've kind of had in my head for a while and the idea behind this is just mining as enjoyment right and what we're going to be doing is we're going to be progressing through Omega through ship upgrades everything through just in-game activities so no real money drop nothing like that we're going to save up quite a bit towards or our first month of Omega because she is Alpha still right now this character if you've been watching the channel for a while this character is actually the original um Alpha character from the Alpha Project and she's already been trained she's like six million skill points and everything but let's go ahead and uh I'm gonna go ahead and get her on grid though right now real quick I'm not really going to try to like cut this or speed anything up in this series nothing like that we're gonna essentially I'm gonna try to show kind of in real time what a I don't know just data how I do mining essentially because when I first started playing I was high sink minor for a while more longer than I really wanted to wanted to admit but I think a lot of people out there who enjoy mining as just kind of like their main gameplay activity might find some enjoyment and seeing how I kind of do things and for me it's just kind of a nice break from everything else so we're just going to go ahead and I actually have they nav here already one of the big thing is if you don't have a lot of drone skills and things in the beginning I try to mine in either a sec level one or like a 0.9 because you will not get Rats on the grid meaning that you know we are carrying drones in this Venture but we can go out here and we can mine and we don't have to worry about killing rats which isn't necessarily a big thing once you actually get drones then it's pretty simple but the one big big thing I will say about just mining in general is especially in the beginning have your lasers on a rock for the most part all the time we're already going to be pretty We're Not Gonna our income's not gonna be that great in the beginning I mean one full Venture of belts bar is going to be like half a million so we've got a long way to go in saving up for Omega and really Omega is just gonna allow us to kind of get position ourselves where we can essentially just get that first month of Omega get into a procure or Retriever and just kind of Blitz right we we want to be able to use the majority of that Omega time to really up our earning so this being episode one of this series I'm gonna go over quite a bit of information subsequent episodes we'll be just you know hanging out on the Belt Mining and I'll try to drop as much you know knowledge and just kind of about Mining and everything in general but I'm just going to kind of give everybody a baseline for where we're starting at as far as fit and everything like that and we'll go ahead and kind of look at her fit as well like I said this character's been around for a while so she's technically what you'd consider a Tech 2 Venture Miner so she's got minor level twos or minor tattoos and then we've got a mining laser upgrade too and then just kinetic hardener and then a survey scanner and then just a one MN After Burner nothing fancy here at all so the big goal is just kind of get as much so essentially what I end up doing in these situations is I'll go out an online builds bar because it's more readily available one jump out of cheetah so we're gonna go out there we're gonna put lasers on either dents are condensed or dense or just regular belts bar and we're gonna just fill up and they'll immediately just go to cheetah and drop it off a lot of I'm not even gonna be selling ore during the first probably several episodes of this series we'll see how far we go and everything but the idea is I'm just gonna be stockpiling everything that we mine because one interesting thought I had you know thinking back or when I mined a lot in high SEC was if I would have just saved every piece of ore that I ever mined back in the day I wanted I would love to know what that kind of that number was or like not just like in the cubic meter sense but like just in the isk sense now for me when I first started playing I blasted through so I was injecting I was got Omega maybe like after the first week or so of playing so I didn't spend a lot of time in just a venture just kind of slow grinding it because I was just ready to you know move into that next ship and just kind of better everything we're gonna go a little bit slower on that this time around and for anybody who's not into mining as a like a preferred hobby this is probably not gonna be a series for you because this is essentially what miners do for the most part is we get on these grid and we just kind of mine rocks all day right and we just kind of Stack it and it's going to be kind of repetitive here in the beginning but we're gonna be moving pretty quick through hopefully we'll be moving pretty quick through our progression here so let's look at this ship tree real quick kind of give an idea of the where we're going to go with everything while we're Mining and so I'm going to try not to like uh if I'm doing any sort of like talking or any sort of like guidance as far as like mining strategies or you know tactics I'm Gonna Be always making sure I'm on lasers the goal is we're not going to try to sit in in Gita and just kind of ramble on about mining we always want to kind of have those lasers running so right now we're in the Venture as you already know our next goal essentially is going to be getting past this Omega gate and then once we get there we're going to try to position ourselves in a way that we are ready to go straight into the procure and or the retriever so let's go ahead and kind of like speculate a little bit let's go ahead and kind of simulate a retriever here we're going to look at kind of where we're at so we're looking about three days on that we're gonna have to basically save up some cash and everything and buy the skills these skills are only going to be used as omegas so we can buy them but we can't train them but the idea is we have everything kind of in place so when we turn on Omega we can immediately start training all this stuff retriever is if we can the retriever is going to be kind of like our first ship to go into just because it'll allow us to stay on grid a little bit longer and it has a bigger price point obviously but through project Discovery We're not gonna be selling any ore initially um a lot of what I'm gonna be doing to save up for the procure or the retriever is going to be doing project discovery so that's just deciding to sit in the retriever so what we can do is we can actually go and kind of start speculating on all this a little bit so we're going to try to get and we're gonna be strip minor one in the beginning just because we're going to want to try to get into mod modulated strip miners but that takes a little more skill as far as getting the right skills for the crystals so really our goal is to get into the ship and be able to like operate so strip minor ones which doesn't actually add anything to our our train time and then I'm gonna be stacking mine alert minor laser tubes down here we are already actually able to use these so it actually doesn't add to this either and then we'll probably be moving down in security level so we'll probably try to you know get somewhere in the 0.5 area just so we have plague we have pyro we have kind of you know the wide the good spread of ore to kind of choose from because we're essentially going to be holding ore and stacking it all in Gita and we don't necessarily want all veldspar because if we do decide to either like just sell it all we want to kind of be you know Diversified a little bit so if belts bar is really you know down at one point then you know the plague is really good we can kind of offload plaque right so just kind of keeping our stockpile as Diversified as possible retriever's a little bit weird as far as mid slots go there's not a lot we can do as far as tank cargo scanner is nice not that's a uh cargo scanner survey scanner is actually nice because we're able to kind of like look at what rocks are big and that allows us to actually put strip miners on rocks and let them stay on there for a while like it would be the difference between like putting a strip Miner on like a I don't know 2700 a cubic meter rock as opposed to like a 10 000 cubic meter Rock if you are not scanning the rocks and you're putting stuff you're putting yours on low density rocks and you're just changing targets quite a bit so normally what I'll do is I'll go out to the belt and I'll just try to pick the biggest rocks put the strip miners or the lasers on it and then that allows me to do less manual change as we're going through the rotation the other slot here I usually try to just throw a hardener in I don't think we'll be able to get a tech shoe hardener in here it's gonna be a little bit tight normally what you can do is you can throw like a compact in there we're gonna go compact kinetic because then we do go down to 0.5 if we're still in caldari space we're going to be kind of in Greece's territory um and the reason I don't want to really go to like any other area other than kellari space because since we're going to be kind of operating out of Judah for the most part and to all of our stocks would be like kind of stockpiled I don't necessarily like heck as a um Marketplace they're overpriced it's really hard to offload stuff so just keep that in mind but this is essentially what we're kind of looking at and then we'll throw drones in here as well most likely which will probably end up being Hornet twos because at this point will be Omega so we'll probably throw like we're not gonna do mining drones that's just extra training that we can get into in the future but initially we're not terribly worried about it as far as rigs Go I mean there's not a whole lot you can do what we might end up doing is just kind of throwing some tech ones on because they're kind of cheap so probably like cord defense field extenders or something like that this brings us up to about 74 million for a fully fitted ship and it puts us uh well to see what the actual number here is but some things we're going to be worrying about yeah we can do initially with like um skill points that we get from sign-in bonuses we can get this industrial industry five out of the way I'm going to cue that up actually so as you can see here she's at 6.5 million we're actually going to go and clear everything in here and we're gonna go and grab in Industry five we're gonna throw it in there it's not gonna train but as we get login bonuses like I said just any SP from daily login bonuses we're gonna be stacking it towards this to kind of help out a little bit just to kind of like I said to position ourselves the best we can so it does take a little while in the beginning for this venture to kind of do its thing but we're kind of in it for the long haul for the most part you can also split lasers too we'll go ahead and do like a scan here we're just going to look at the Rock they're working on as far as if you don't know about the biggest thing I can tell you is there's at least back in the day there used to be like what we would call like a big rock day and a small rock day which usually like alternated and so if you don't know this already at reset and downtime downtime happens at 1100 each time so if you'll get the very bottom left of your screen that's gonna be your Eve time at 1100 these uh the whole server will go down for anywhere between 15 probably about 15 minutes or so usually unless they're doing like some crazy update but that's the point at which all asteroid belts get basically refreshed and that's also when daily vlogger rewards are available that's when we can do um the product Discovery for the day that's when a lot of things kind of reset so and I don't know how it is now I haven't been mining in a while but back in the day we used to have like what we call a big rock day and a small rock day saying they would just alternate like these Rock sizes would more or less fall into like the small rock category but then like tomorrow after reset these could be like 10K or whatever or anywhere averaging between like eight ten you know to 10K or 11k so that's just nice having a survey scanner because like right now we know this rock here is going to die pretty soon we're going to fill up obviously well before that happens but it's nice to be able to see the rock density here because we know when we come back here we can go put lasers on this 7 900 cubic meter Rock we put both lasers on it and we don't we know we will not kill that rock before we fill up the Venture and that's kind of the the purpose right if you're down here and you like you're mining double mining double laser mining this like 3 300 cubic meter well your ship holds 5 000 so you know you're going to kill that rock and you have to like put lasers on another rock so prioritizing anything over 5000 cubic meter especially when we're in the Venture right now is ideal it's just convenience because you can obviously like grab two 3 000 cubic meter rocks and put one laser on each and it'll be just fine you'll be just fine doing that for me just to keep things simple to only have one lock Target as far as rocks go I just tried grab some that's over 5000 cubic meter and we just put both lasers on it and go to town so we got about 500 cubic meters before we're done here and I used to um I used to kind of just you know have a bookmark in every belt of the system I've gotten a little bit more uh random with how I do things now I'll of mine in a certain system depending on you know where I'm actually located but when I come in here we're gonna take all this stuff to Gita when we come back we're just gonna like right click go to asteroid belt we're going to pick a random one here and just kind of diversify as much as we can when we start getting up to we're late much later in this series when we're in things like when we start getting into like the Orca and we start doing a lot of just high volume mining then we'll probably work on clearing entire belts we're like well that's what I used to do is we used to just go each Bell and we just clear everything and then by the end of the day there was no rocks left in that reset at that 1100 downtime we would just go back and start the whole process over again which is kind of the big uh the big push we used to get quite a bit done that way I think we used to clear like nine belts a day I think the rocks are actually bigger now that they've uh increased the size of them back then they weren't too uh too dense all right we are full so another thing I do is always like keeping stuff in cheetah so I'll just open a quick way for me to set Desto without having a bookmark is I just open up my asset window and then uh select so what I'll do is open the access window here and I'll just right click and either said Desto or jump through Stargate if I'm only one away that allows me to not have to worry about going into like the location menu and and doing a bunch of stuff like that but because the one thing that you're gonna have to get used to when you're Adventure mining is you're going to be running back and forth a lot now if you're in a system where you have like a athenor a player athenware that you can go and you can compress cool even better it's gonna be a while before we actually get into doing our own compression that's going to be down the road when we start getting into like the porpoise and stuff which will be really exciting once we get to that point and I didn't really talk about command ships too much but yeah after we get into like probably the retriever we'll hang on the retriever for a while and then we might actually segue down and while we're actually mining in the retriever we'll probably start training it as a porpoise as well and we'll probably end up training the command ships and the exumer is kind of in parallel with each other that way if there's a day where we feel like you know drone mining or if there's a day where we feel like just taking like the Mackinaw or something out like that then we'll do that but this is really um if you're actually dumping into like a player Citadel you don't even have to dock you just gotta warp to it and then open up the cargo deposit and do your thing so give you an idea we've done a little bit of mining prior to starting the recording on this series but as you can see we're about 2 million right now so we're not doing too bad but essentially that's all I'm going to be focusing on a lot really is just going to be coming in here dumping or going back out see how many runs we can do a day I'm probably gonna try to record every bit of it because as you can tell it takes a little bit to fill up the Venture but let's go ahead and and then now we're just heading right back I'll probably change up and let something about being a minor too is just kind of making yourself a hard target in terms of diversifying your kind of routes and things like that so in one day we'll probably mine in you know system and we'll be varying the belts that we're mining in that system just to kind of you know add some unpredictability to our actions and then the next day we'll probably pick another system do the same thing and so there we we our goal is to like not if we're being observed to not be uh very predictable and lots of big problem that a lot of high-sec minors do they kind of get into a they get into a Groove and what ends up happening is they end up mining in the same system every day they do the same belts in the same order and so it's really easy to kind of you know predict what they're going to be doing but I think a lot of I used to do this I know this because I was guilty of this back in the day but I think from just doing a lot of stuff in null second ratting and things like that it's kind of just um I just uh I like to do things as random as possible so what we're going to do is there's nothing I normally do when I come to the Belt again too I'm going to just do a scan real quick and we got some dense builds bar here at 3000 we got two of them actually so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna usually approach this one you can also Target from this window too by just holding on control and so we'll see uh six thousand we have about 12 we have 12K range on these so we're gonna go and grab both these that one dense rock is actually going to die pretty quick but the idea is we're just going to grab these off of the grid doing this again real quick yeah so 800 WF two or three cycles and then it'll be gone and then I'll get the dents out of here and then we'll go to the concentrated builds bar you see the highest Rock here is like 2 900 cubic meters we'll grab that out and so if I do come back to the same belt over and over and over I'm essentially just kind of targeting the dense then the concentrated and the regular builds bar I wouldn't Focus too much on scorite it historically just has a lot lower value so we're going to leave it and since we're one jump from Cheetah our availability because of the SEC level is going to be basically builds bar and scored height now obviously you can go to the agency we're at a range on that one just from our orbit which is fine but you go to the agency here and go to Resource harvesting and I'm gonna have to just set to two jumps just so if we are sitting in Judo we can kind of see but as you see 0.9 we have a little bit more availability as far as pyro and everything but in point In One Security you're basically gonna have those bar score right the reason and then like if you're down to 0.7 you see it starts to open up a little bit more you get that's kind of what we're going to end up going for 0.7.5 so we have plag cordite Valspar and Pyro they just help diversify it's gonna be a little while before we get out to that point because we have to travel further away from Gita for that I mean it um creates a lot of downtime if we have to go like six jumps out with the venture to grab everything into mine and then come all the way back we can use a hauler but I'm not going to try to waste a lot of skill training right now into doing hauler it's better if we can just kind of hang out near cheetah and at least get a few hundred million kind of going all right we need to see what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna detarget this one and I'm gonna do another rescan just so I can confirm which one we're on so we're gonna grab this 3000 real quick and then we'll close in to grab that it won't even take that long to get that 800 once we get to that point but essentially just going to be doing a lot of mining this way for a while I think it would be interesting to see long term kind of how long it takes to kind of like get that Omega and that's why I don't really want to sell a lot of ore because I want to just like kind of let you guys track the value that we're mining through the ore that we've got stockpiled because you know let's sell the ore then you know it becomes kind of um it becomes kind of hard to track you know as far as you know how much we've gotten from just pure mining so initially I think our goal is going to be probably to stack about 3 billion in I know it sounds crazy three billion in or injita and then we'll use that to pay for Omega and doing that in adventure I know it's going to take a long long time but that's kind of the enjoyment I have one of my biggest things about Eve is I like I like doing things in a way that I don't necessarily have to pay real money for right if it takes longer for me to farm and mine towards Omega that is like kind of the challenge and that's kind of the enjoyment I get out of it and I think that would be a for me at least I feel like that's a big accomplishment in order to do that because that will give it might take a long time for us to get that first month of Omega but the time that we're Mining and saving for it work we're positioning ourselves either with stockpiling unallocated skill points and things like that and that's another big strategy too if you are one of those people who want to get into a venture and mine yourself all the way to Omega then you can obviously train towards the things that you're gonna be using and try to get into the ships like we're going to try to get into that retriever immediately almost immediately after we get Omega and so what you can do with that is every single day that you get SP for logging in just hold it in your unallocated don't even apply it to skill points just hold it here let it hang out just and then just build it up and then once you turn on Omega you cue everything you gotta like train to get into that procure or that Retriever and then you just apply skill points obviously you're not going to get a whole lot but it kind of varies but that's kind of another little fun aspect of it for me too is just seeing how much we can do with that [Music] uh let's do a rescue and see what we're doing here it's going a little bit slow but that's fine as far as expeditionary frigates I don't know if we're gonna be touching any of that really we might Branch off a little bit and do some like gas Mining and wormholes with this but really the focus of this series is going to essentially be high SEC Mining and just showing how much net worth we can actually gain by being just a single character in a single mining ship just doing the thing because it doesn't matter if you're it doesn't matter if you're Omega in your Null Sec you're doing mining it doesn't matter it mining is one of the things that you have to just do you have to put a lot of time into a lot of time because the more you can put lasers on rocks the higher income you're going to have and doing it the way we're doing it for this series it's gonna be this is the biggest challenge right here actually it's just getting past this Omega gate and I think there's a lot of value in figuring out like a good strategy a good sustainable strategy to break away from this and if the only thing we accomplish in this series is being able to fly a retriever in a porpoise I'm okay with that and obviously it's going to speed up everything is going to go so much quicker once we get past the Omega gate and everything like that but I hope you guys I hope you everybody out there that you know enjoys mining I hope you're excited as much as I am for this series I'm gonna try not to show too many uh too many of these venture uh fill up things because this can get a little tedious as well but we might have some episodes where we're kind of chilling and doing four or five runs out there but at least for this that first episode of the series I want to give you guys kind of the the idea and the goals and everything that I'm kind of looking for to get out of this and everything so if you're following along you know feel free to kind of Follow My Fit and everything like that I'll put it in the description and everything and we'll just try to try to challenge ourselves and get as much accomplish as we possibly can anyway see you guys in the next episode and peace out
