Hi, im going to start playing eve online but i dont rly know what to do with minerals which i will extract... can somebody give me a guide with screenshots or type?

Theres a link to the PDF which is the end-all-be-all of mining guides for eve at the top of that page, in case you missed it

http://www.eveonline.com/bitmaps/guide/completeminersguide_v2.2.pdf

This site seems pretty accurate for listing ores by their value by m3 (which is best for mining), although I wouldn't really trust them for investing or anything those usually never turn out well in eve.

Also keep in mind mineral prices are going to DRAMATICLY change after the next expansion, this dev blog

http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=746

states they're changing mineral sources to be primarily mining again, instead of mission loot refining and drone regions. This SHOULD mean mining will become as profitable as other 0.0 professions again... let us pray.

Another thing u can do is, download this:

http://evemon.battleclinic.com/builds/installers/EVEMon-install-1.3.1.2138.exe

Its called, evemon. Install it, and create a plan for a ship called Hulk.
Also add "Veldspar Mining Crystal II" to the plan.
Then click on the bottom left, where it says "suggestions" and add those skills too to the plan.

Then look at the plan queue and train all those skills by order shown.
