Which ore is most profitable??
This profitability of mining various ores changes frequently and depends on regional market prices. However, here are a few factors that one should consider: • For most players, “more profitable” means that they earn more isk per hour, not that a single unit of ore is more profitable. This is an important distinction. • Remember that a ship mines at a constant rate of m3/hour, not a constant rate of units of ore/hour. Different types of ore are different sizes. A ship will generally fill its cargohold in the same amount of time regardless of which ore is being mined, but with some ores, less units fit in that cargohold. • When determining profitability, focus on the on the isk/m3 of ore, not the isk/unit of ore.
