[SIZE=4]Hello all[/SIZE]
For now I will only mine on Caly and Ark and a bit on NI but untaxed only.
I might do RT later, partly, because there are also a lot of mobs here.
Stocking on several planets isn’t cheap, but since 2026 I’m also going for ores and and from time to time some treasures.
[SIZE=5]Where I won’t mine and why[/SIZE][SIZE=4] :[/SIZE]
I’m currently skipping Cyrene and Toulan, too many mobs to mine.
FOMA + Ark Underground is indoor + taxed.
Ark Moon is taxed and you can mine the same without taxing on Ark itself.
Monria also has too many mobs + indoor : UPDATED since Monria isn’t taxed.
You cannot mine on CP.
Not yet explored Aris.
[SIZE=5]EDIT 28-2-2026[/SIZE]
[SIZE=4]And finally how much I spent on probes per day/week/month/year :[/SIZE]
It all comes down on sales.
Slow sales means slow mining.
Fast sales, more mining.
[SIZE=5]What do I mine.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=4]On certain servers I test lots of different finders first, all different depths (test rounds)
After filling my own database AND depending on my stock, I start mining with the finder I get the best results for what I need[/SIZE]
[SIZE=4]BUT I always aim to have the high MU.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=4]Especially for ores this is important.
For enmatters … even some high MU’s can be found @ any depth, then, for others, you need to go deeper, but it is fun to find out and will help your returns go up.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=5]EDIT 24-2-2026[/SIZE]
[SIZE=4]No amps/pre-amped have been used to keep HR up and getting less fillers.
No buffs used, no pets, nor pills and never chipped.
I’m only mining for minimum 150% MU’s & I only use finders that give me great results on that server.
I ONLY do single drops so the groundcomposition does not change.
Enmatters above 150% this means only mining on 2 different servers but I make an exception on a 3th and 4th, when I see that the stock on auction is always low.
Enmatters I only mine with UNL finders
Ores above 150% this means only mining on 4 different servers but I make an exception on a 5th and 6th, when I see that the stock on auction is always low,
Ores I mine with any finder, UNL and (L) but try to keep the MU is low as possible.
I do not care about the Tier rate on TM (L) finders cause they go already deep enough.
Since feb 2026 I also started mining treasures
Treasure above 150% this means only mining on 1different server
Treasures I only mine with (L) finders.
Ofc this might all change, all depends on availability and %[/SIZE]
[SIZE=5]HR and TT and TT+%[/SIZE]
[SIZE=4]Hitrating and MU will go up and down.
But as long as your TT+% is positive you should be ok.
That’s why it takes patience and knowledge of the auction.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=5]I mine for quality, not quantity, spending less time mining for better results so more proficient.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=4]No pet, pills, amps where use neither, pure mining.
Mining boxes, fruits, stones where not counted in my results and all % are net
If you see 2 or 3 rows next to a certain finder it’s because I’m mining @ 2-3 different servers[/SIZE]
[SIZE=5]Sales and MU[/SIZE]
[SIZE=4]Not using amps means I’m getting almost no or a lot less fillers.
Fillers I sell also in smaller stacks but with a nice MU for regular prices cause MU goes up and down with not much difference but never under 110% net.
The most profit is in the more uncommon or rare resouces with bigger variation in prices and higher MU.
Only sell those when they pike !!![/SIZE]
[SIZE=5]Why this log?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=4]This allows me to better track my progress and adjust my mining style for the best results.
At the start of each new year, the counters are reset to 0 to obtain an annual average.
I do runs of 100 ped for ores and 50 ped for enm.
If mining is good, I do several runs / day, If mining is bad, I only do 1 run.
I don’t use amps or pre-amped, they just give more fillers.
I only go for single drops, so never dual/triple, cause those change ground composition.
Skills are just there so you can use a deeper finder, that’s it…
And deeper mining does not mean more profit!!!
It all depends where you use what finder and what can be found there.
I think I have already proven that you can make a profit with any finder.
How MA works, with which parameters, algorithms … no one knows, except themselves, but you can observe a lot yourself and respond to that.
You can expect new results after every month, but as I said, all depends on sales.[/SIZE]
