I'm on corbantis and finding it hard to get Ore with JTL out. I know this must be across all servers as well.

I'm on chilastra, and haven't found it particularly difficult to obtain. Steel has been my problem lately.

Yes, at 4-5 cpu I'll be lossing credits if I sell for 130-140k each for a heavy harv. Its just hard to mine for myself in the amount I need to keep up with demand. I almost need 2 million units each week.

The ore grind right now is one of the reasons i'm leaving the profession - college just doesnt leave me enough time to try to track down which of my favorite resource vendors MIGHT have ore that day.
My architect WAS on bloodfin.

well a week ago I would be right there with you... but a spawn of ore on my static field that ranges from 62-91% spawned 5 days ago and since then i've pulled 3.1 million units of the Shipwright ore... and it's pretty good stuff to boot.... but other than that yes, ore is becomming rare these days, and I'm both a SW and Architect.

I dont do so ... Im on Chimaera got my 86% ore spot (grind ore as well) and there's almost nobody on a HUGE spot on tatooine ^^
i got around 1 mil and more units of Carbonate at home and like 450k of Silicastic Ore ...

It mat be getting hard to buy ore at a good price but if you mine it yourself its much easier than before JTL to find a good spot.Pre-JTL 55% was a great find but now I can usually find a 70%+ concentration within an hour.

Ive got an alt on Shadowfire on a 55% ore field that im about to dump heavy harvesters on, also not really having a problem with steel either. Just pulling the amount you need to keep pumping out products is the hard part. The only ore i really have a problem with is carbonate, but i have enough to make turbines for the immediate future.

Ore in and of itself is not that hard, especially with the higher-concentration stuff.
Enough ore to grind out FS XP is another thing altogether.

I was thinking of ending my days as a Architect because of not getting the Ore I needed in large amounts. I had to almost close my shop just to restock with Ore. (can't sell if you can't build.)
