The trick to finding them is to scan in out-of-the-way systems. It had a total of 5 Mackinaw-loads, so about 175k m3 of ore. Over 1,000,000 m3 netting around 365,000,000 in Rens.Ī month or two ago, I found a small site, IIRC Jaspet+Kernite or something. It was seriously too much to mine, even ignoring the Kernite and Omber. Never ever seen a site so big in 3 years, so there may be some changes effected, but not sure. Mined the Jaspet only with "2 Hulks and an Orca" for 6 hours and finally quit from exhaustion. I had a Large Jasp/Kern/Omber site on Monday. If I or a corp mate were to randomly find one while running sites we would totally mine it, but specifically looking for large grav sites (and ignoring everything else) specifically for mining purposes the lost time (for me at least) is not worth it.ĭuring the last hulkageddon I mined though the entire event and didn't lose a single ship because I was just miing grav sites and missions, because you do have the extra advantage of security that comes with players having to scan your ships down which is a great extra advantage too. If you figure it takes 1 - 2 hours to locate, setup and finishing up that is lost time that could have been used mining a standard belt.īut this is assuming you are specifically JUST looking for large grav sites. Large grav sites in highsec can be great, but the frequency in which they spawn, the difficulty of scanning one (you may need fully trained scanning skills, I can't recall), and the chance that it hasn't been partially/fully mined out or is being actively mined are so low that once you take into account the time invested successfully finding one and then moving your mining equipment and fleet to the location, and then the time to then haul to a station you can refine in is not really worth it. You're totally right and I wasn't very clear with what I was saying. but even in the same ship a character without implants, and poor scanning skills will miss most of the smallest signatures. In a bonused ship with scanning rigs, all the scanning implants, and max skills you can find the smallest signatures with ease. but you do not need to drop much in skill for that 0.02% to become 0.009% which will not show up in the scan. With good skills you can detect the good grav sites at around 0.02% as you said. I believe it is anything that comes up at 0.01 or lower with your skills will not show up. However if your scanning skills are not up to par the gav sites will not show. So even if the ore is equal or less value that basic high sec ores, you may still make more per hour of mining.Īlso if you are in Gallente space and doing your own manufacturing, you get Nocx from them. They last many cycles, meaning little lost time on partial cycles. The nice thing about grav sites is the roids are huge. For example I only go for things that have a DSP signal strength of 0.1% or less when scanned with a single deep space probe set to a radius of 256 AU. It will quickly tell you if the site is worth scanning. They generally have the lowest sig possible. In order to speed up your search use a dsp guide to figure out the signature strength of the large grav sites. The grav site you want to look for is the large jaspet, hedbergite and hemorphite with as a second goal large jaspet, kernite and hemorphite and worse case large jaspet, kernite and omber. The asteroids you will find in hisec grav sites are omber, kernite, jaspet, hemorphite and hedbergite. I once found a grav site that had exactly one cycle left in each asteroid. Large sites can be quite profitable but you have to find it before anyone else or there will not be anything left. Small amd average are really only worth going after if they are not too far out of your way if you are mining in a hulk and orca. Grav sites are very profitable if you can find the right kind. I’m afraid that the only true statements in that post is that jaspet and omber can appear in grav sites in amarr. Lowsec, Null and WH are the other hand are great. the per hour yield wasnt even close to 1/2 the yield of simply mining veldspar in a belt. I don't even think I filled 1/2 an Orca.Ĭonsidering the amount of time it takes to scan down, swap out ships, mine, haul etc. With an Orca + hulk I was able to mine out most of these grav sites in like 15 - 20 minutes. In Amarr space you will find a few Omber roids (yuck) some Jaspet and if I remember correctly some Pyro. Honestly, HS grav sites are awful, and are not really worth the effort of scanning down/swapping out ships etc.
