I decided to do an experiment. A skilled mining toon with an empty wallet and only a new Velator and the pimp civilian mining laser. How much money can I get in a week. 1 hour each day.
I undock this fine day(or night depending where you are) and warp to my belt. Oh belt IV – 1 I know thee well. We’ve had so many adventures featuring pirates. Speaking of pirates they seem to be waiting for me with a welcoming gift. 2 of their more junior members engage me as soon as I drop out of warp. Silly new guys they haven’t heard about my hobgoblin.
I release the beast out of his cage and lets just say they wont be bothering anyone. I lock up a Scordite ore and start taking it part by part from space to a can. That’s some productive stuff. So much excitement and we have barely hit minute 5. This is going to be an interesting day.Great success occurs as I mine out another ore.
God damn I’m a mining monster. Today I am the destroyer of ore it seems 2 different ores in 5 minutes. The 10 minute mark hits and after it the 15 mark and its all quiet flying. Just mind numbing mining. I’ve gathered a good supply of Scordite now and I go to drop it off.
I jump in my Iteron and I am back at the speed of 2 shakes of a lambs tail (not very fast). The 20 minute mark hits and I have moved my Scordite to the station.
I undock in my Navitas and warp back in. As I drop warp another 2 Guristas pirate rejects warp in with me. Good news is that there are 2 more mining barges and they seem to like them better then me. That’s good at least I’m fed up of being the sheriff around these parts.
My colleagues in mining deal with the devils rejects quickly and we continue on our interesting and thrilling endeavour of mining. The 30 minute mark hits the last 10 minutes spent on mining ore. I decide to go and load off.
While I haul my ore the 35 minute mark hits. I warp back to the belt with my Navitas, back to mining. The 40 minute mark hits and I’m almost half done.I have some new friends on the belt maybe fans of my work with those Guristas earlier come to see me mine. Yeah I bet that’s it. They like my style.
My daydreaming seems to accelerate time and the 50 minute mark hits totally skipping the 45 mark. I continue throwing ore in my can and I am getting ready for my last haul for day 4.
I have 5 minute left of day 4 and its HAULING TIME. I finish my hauling and dock up. IT’S PROFIT TIME. My wallet updates flashes andIam RICHY RICH HERE. I’ve got 2 milion 244 thousand isk. That means I can buy my procuror in the middle of day 5.
