      <description>&lt;div style="" class="txtd" id="txtd_762467"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many new
players are disappointed with how hard they play and how little they
make at first. We recommend that you approach your enterprise in a
business like and professional manner. Form a plan of attack that
includes exploring for little-traveled areas. Try to make every minute
of your time as profitable as possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; It may seem simple and basic to
you but it's not. It takes trial and error and a lot of driven pursuit
to get it going but once it is rolling you will be smiling all the way
to the market. Be patient and remain diligent and you will succeed.
Have fun and most of all remember it is just a game. First let's review
a bit of information on the types of mining and terminology. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The types
of Minerals and&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ores are divided into three categories. - High
Grade Ore: Arkonor, Bistot, Crokite, Spodumain, Dark Ochre. - Mid Grade
Ore: Gneiss, Hedbergite, Hemorphite, Jaspet, Kernite and Omber. - Low
Grade Ore: Plagioclase, Pyroxeres, Scordite and Veldspar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We'll
save ice types for a later discussion-you need skills well advanced to
mine ice. Try to spend as much of your time mining only High Grade
Ores. That's not to say you can't make big &lt;a target="_blank" mce_href="http://www.eveonlineguides.com" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.eveonlineguides.com"&gt;EVE Online ISK&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" mce_href="http://www.eveonlineguides.com" href="http://www.eveonlineguides.com"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;doing the Medium Grade, but consider that Time = Production = Profit formula.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It
can be enjoyable and challenging to mine High Grade Ore yields. Mining
Low Grade Ore gets very boring to say the least. The lower grades are
sometimes needed but we find that when you have a few billion &lt;a target="_blank" mce_href="http://www.isk-guide.com" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.isk-guide.com"&gt;EVE ISK&lt;/a&gt;
in your wallet you can afford to pay others to provide low grade needs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Because of the formula Time = Production = Profit, skills play a huge p
art in production. If you're just getting started you're going to have
to spend a little time doing a lower production. Use the time to get
set up and to explore all you can. Just remember every time that voice
tells you " Skill training is complete" you m ove closer to a higher
production and profit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is a list of the Skills you will want to have and to work on. Note: These are skills relating to mining only.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SUGGESTED
MINER SKILLS: Industry, Refining, Mining, Drones, Mining Drone
Operation, Refinery Management, Metallurgy, Electronics, Engineering
and Survey Mining 5 Astrogeology 5 Drones: Heavy 4 and Mining 5 Drone
Interfacing 3-4 (I say 5 takes way to long so wait on it.) Engineering
5 Electronics 5 Hull Upgrades 4 All skills that relate to Energy, Cpu
and Capacitor Capacity and Recharge to at least level 3 - 4 depending
on what ship you fly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="" class="txtd" id="txtd_762467"&gt;Check out &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="" class="txtd" id="txtd_762467"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="" class="txtd" id="txtd_762467"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" mce_href="http://www.isk-guide.com" href="http://www.isk-guide.com"&gt;ISK Guide &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" mce_href="http://www.eveonlineguides.com" href="http://www.eveonlineguides.com"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" mce_href="http://www.eveonlineguides.com" href="http://www.eveonlineguides.com"&gt;Eve Online Guides&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
