dragon nest gold, dragonnest gold

In our case it's a little more than 10 000 dragonnest gold/unit, but since it is usually not possible to get a 100% refine in 0.0 (as we determined earlier), 10 000 ISK/unit is a good estimate.

The next table shows the difference in ISK you make per hour between both ships.

Ship Yield (m3/cycle) Bistot/cycle Bistot/hour ISK/hour  

Covetor 1507.03 94 5640 56,400,000.00  

Hulk 1819.75 113 6780 67,800,000.00  

11,400,000.00 differences

The difference in price is easy enough to make... a Covetor goes for around 20mil ISK, while a Hulk goes for 500mil ISK at the moment (or at the time of writing the guide originally). Therefore the difference is 480mil ISK.

Now to know how many hours you will need to pay back the investment, simply divide 480 by 11.4 which gives you 42 hours. Today a Hulk can be had for 150mil, so the payback time would be around 13 hours. That's bloody nothing!

So there you have it, you will need to mine for more or less 42 hours to get back in your money. This is for 0.0 and Bistot of course, just replace Bistot by whatever ore you have access to and you will be able to figure this one out yourself!
