  • Welcome to this Elite Dangerous mining guide. We will be mining platinum in this Elite Dangerous beginners money making guide.
    To begin your Elite Dangerous mining carrier you will start off in the Type 7 Transport. Instead of running goods doing trade missions we will actually be laser mining for all the space bucks in this Elite Dangerous Beginners Money Making Guide.
    All you need to do is scrape together 26 million which can be done following this guide here - • 🗺️ 2021 Elite Dangerou...
    This takes about an hour in Elite Dangerous with the new exploration rebalance.

    We are mining Platinum at system - Col 285 Sector KM-V d2-106
    Planet - 5A
    The double platinum hotspot in this Elite Dangerous Mining Guide is very easy to find! Once you get into the system.
    Don't forget to check if any fleet Carriers want to buy Osmium. They usually pay 200k per ton same as the Platinum. Which means you get your Elite Dangerous beginners money even faster!
    **UPDATE**
    After this video went live tons of FC's have swarmed the system! They are now competing for your sale! The buy price they are paying on average per ton is now 220k! This is good news for you if you choose to take the fast money route!

Kotzebue Terminal (which has large landing pads) was paying 262k for Platinum and 245k for Osmium. Plus had complete outfitting, fuel and repair without the markup. Definitely a good place to try.

I was cruising through the ring looking for rocks that had something useful... came across a rock with low-temp diamonds. Millions of credits sitting there right in front of me and I couldn't touch it because all I had was lasers.

Which is still about 130 million in an hour. Which is still good money! Even for a new player, a good 3 or 4 hours of gentle painite mining in a stock Type 9 - and you've got a Conda... Still WAAAAAAAAY easier than back in 2014 when it took me fooooookin ages to afford my first python...

    Great video. Only downside is I think the newbies coming in (myself included) need to play the game first before upgrading. Not so much "grinding" as get used to the world of Elite Dangerous. It's like what's called "Ab Initio" pilot training. Taking a complete newbie from no knowledge to co-pilot of large commercial jet in record time, not letting the new pilot have the experiences that a normal pilot working their way up would have.
    In the past year UA-cam has had many "make 250 mil/hr, make 500 mil/hr" videos. Ok, in a few hours, they can get an Anaconda. Where is the fun and Elite Dangerous world discoveries that playtime brings? It took me 5 months to make 1billion. The road I took doing pax/cargo/commodities/courier jobs gave me time in the Elite Dangerous world to experience it, not just getting to the end in a day. Like I said, though, really like your vids!

    This is INSANE! I started at one extraction point and worked towards the other one and after a few KMs pretty much EVERY rock had at least 20% platinum and like you said a lot had 50-60%. Took me about half an hour to fill the 96T hold on my AspX spitting out a trail of limpets behind me like dead flies! Also sold for 265K per ton in the same system at Carrier Q6G-27Z (Dante's Rest)
    Almost 26 million per < 1 hour mining run all-in in my AspX build, I'm gonna be SO rich! Glorious Python next!
    Edit: Got my Python so making 50+ mill per run, but honestly, I don't see any point in core mining, takes WAY longer to fill the hold than laser mining and the best price for void diamonds is like 400-500K, nope I might change up the materials I collect but Ima stick to laser mining

    About the only way to consistently make money with mining now. Prices on Void Opals and LTDs fluctuate too much to justify the effort needed for deep core mining. I unfortunately am part of that group of noobs that missed out on the LTD rush a few months ago, and got into the tail end of the Painite rush. At least the Painite rush helped pay for my Python, Krait Phantom and Krait Mk 2. Currently struggling to get money to outfit my Anaconda and Corvette with A grade modules. And I hate passenger missions. Too many difficult or wanted customers.

    Robigo passenger missions, using a Python at Robigo Mines where there is no system security check on your ship. Not as fast at earning as those big ships but no risk of getting shot at by system security (if you are carrying illegal passengers), can earn nearly 60 million credits from four runs. Of course, this is OP (overpaid) too, just as like mining and overdue for nerfing.

    Hi Hawkes, please consider updating with this info:

    Cobra MkIII can be a much cheaper beginning mining ship, and then you can rather use an AspX for 25 mil. The advantages with these are that they use 2D lasers and the builds provided don't kill the PD or overwhelm the collectors.

    • @Banthah
      @Banthah 3 роки тому +2

      Yeah I have found two systems that generate massacre missions for the same pirates in the same system.
      This means across the two mission-giving systems I have 6-8 missions on-going at the same time (some wing, some solo) = 3M-4M per target (plus whatever the bounties are).
      The system where you do the killing spawns multiple massacre targets close by and I never run out, but it also has lots of res sites if I fancy a change.
      Also it's High Security so the local security forces help me enormously - but on the flip side I do miss the odd target because security gets in first!)
      Generally I'm getting in excess of 20 kills an hour (I mean, one of the Threat 4 Targets is 6 or 7 kills and they take 10-15 mins or so. The rest is travel time) = 60M-80M (plus bounties).
      Not quite as profitable as Robigo runs or mining, but also not mind-numbingly boring!!!

    • @Banthah
      @Banthah 3 роки тому

      @@Niipazik Ok, so it depends on who is giving you the missions. If it’s the same faction giving you the missions, then yes, you have to complete them one after the other.
      But if you can get the same missions from different factions, one pirate kill counts towards each mission.
      So, example. You have 3 missions to kill 10 pirates, given to you by the same faction. This means you have to kill 30 pirates.
      But if you have 3 missions to kill 10 pirates, given to you by 3 different factions, you only have to kill a total of 10 pirates to complete them all.
      I hope that helps.
      The trick is finding a system or systems that have many different factions offering the same massacre missions - this is gold!
      Good luck!
