The Industrialist – Producer Career Agent Missions (previously known as the Industry career agent) provide a mix of mining, hauling, and manufacturing tasks. Some of the missions can be completed in a corvette or frigate equipped with a mining laser, while others will require the use of a venture. Be sure to have the right ship for each mission to ensure a smooth experience.
Producer Career Mission Overview
The career agent provides 10 missions in each of their arcs. Below is an overview of the missions and the rewards you’ll receive.
Potential isk for the Industry Career Mission Arc:
The potential ISK reward for this career mission arc is approximately 3 million ISK. The actual amount you’ll earn will depend on your skills and the randomizer for each ISK amount. Keep in mind that the amount of ISK rewarded will vary for each new pilot.
Please note that the starter corporation you’re in will take a portion of the ISK earned as taxes. If the amount you receive is not exactly what the reward states, this is the reason.

For this mission, you’ll need to mine 1,000 units of Veldspar. Please note that you must perform the mining yourself in order to complete the mission. Ore acquired from other sources will not count towards completion. If you’re using a venture for the mission, the game may complain about insufficient cargo space. Don’t worry, this message does not take into account the capacity of the Venture’s ore hold.
Isk Earned | Non Isk Rewards | Items Granted | Mission Objectives | Notes |
Reward: 204,000 – 266,000 Bonus: 240,000 – 263,000 | N/A | Miner I | Mine 1,000 units of Veldspar | It’s recommended to use the Miner I over the civilian miner that comes with the Corvette. The Miner I has a higher mining rate, making it more efficient for gathering resources. |

Reward: 0 Bonus: 228,000 – 275,000 | Venture | N/A | Reprocess the Veldspar you mined to get 150 units of Tritanium (minerals) | To reprocess the Veldspar, first move it from your ship or ore hanger into your station’s item hanger. Then, right-click on the ore and select “reprocess.” |

Isk Earned | Non Isk Rewards | Items Granted | Mission Objectives | Notes |
Reward: 0 Bonus: 193,000 – 283,000 | Expanded cargo hold I | 1MN Civilian Miner Afterburner BPC | Acquire a 1MN Afterburner | There are two options for obtaining the afterburner: you can either manufacture it using the blueprint and reprocessed minerals from the previous mission, or you can acquire it from another source and place them in your item hanger. |
To manufacture the 1MN Civilian Afterburner, you’ll need to open the Industry window. There are a few different ways to do this:
To create the 1MN Civilian Afterburner, you will need to open the Industry window. This can be done in a few different ways.
- Double click on the blueprint.
- Click on the industry icon, located under “Board my Corvette.”
Please note that once you finish the career agent missions, you must be at a station (player-owned or NPC-owned) that has industry facilities available in order to continue manufacturing items. In the past, it was possible to obtain these afterburners from corvettes, but CCP has updated the mission to require players to manufacture them themselves.
The Industry Window Explained
- This shows the required quantities of each ingredient for the blueprint (you can also view the components by right-clicking the blueprint in your item hanger). In this case, you’ll need Tritanium. If you don’t have enough, you can mine Veldspar and reprocess it to obtain more.
- The number of runs you want to do is adjustable. This blueprint is only valid for 2 runs before it will self-destruct. Since we need 2 afterburners, you’ll need to set the number of runs to 2 in-game.
- The duration of the job for the specified number of runs is shown. With only 1 run ordered, the job will take 4m42s to complete. If you increase the number of runs to 2, it will take 9m24s at the default skill level (you can invest points in the industry skill to receive a 4% time reduction for manufacturing items).
- The cost for 1 run of the afterburner is shown.
While you wait for the manufacturing job to finish, you have the option to start a mission from another career agent or take a break. This is a good opportunity to grab a drink or take a quick break before continuing with your in-game activities.

If you aren’t already using a venture, now is a good time to fit the one you received in mission 2. First, remove the civilian weapon and afterburner from your corvette. Then, board your Venture and fit the Miner I, civilian weapon, and afterburner. Don’t forget to also fit the Mining Laser Upgrade I that you received in the previous mission. This will ensure that your Venture is properly equipped for mining and combat.
To complete this mission, you must kill the rats that appear after a few minutes. There are a few different strategies you can use:
- Fit a gun and then replace it with a miner after the rats are dead.
- Keep a miner and gun equipped and take more time to kill the rats.
- Remove two drones and keep your two mining lasers active to continue mining while fighting the rats.
Choose the approach that best fits your playstyle and resources.

As part of this mission, it is necessary to engage in both Kernite mining and rat extermination. Be sure to equip your Venture with appropriate weapons or drones for combat. Keep in mind that Kernite is commonly found in low security space and produces the minerals Mexallon and Isogen.
You will need Isogen for your last mission. FILL YOUR HOLD.

The last mission of the producer career agent story arc is to make a frigate. The frigate will take a mineral called Isogen found in Kernite.
If you mined the Kernite from mission #9, reprocess it and you have your Isogen. You will only need about 500. For the other minerals, you’ll need to mine the different ores found in High Sec or buy the ore/minerals from the market.
This mission takes about 1.5 hours so go do something else while your frigate cooks.
