Pyrite Stones and Ingots are one of the Mining Resources you will find in Entropia Universe. Let’s take a quick look at this resource and how it can help you earn PED!
Pyrite
In Entropia Universe Pyrite is a mined resource. You can only find it through mining. It’s considered an Ore which is one of the three primary mining resource types. When you find a Pyrite claim you will have to use an Excavator to extract Pyrite Stones from the ground.
Once you have extracted the Stones you can then use a refiner to turn them into Ingots. The Stones weigh 0.1 Kg each and have a TT value of 20 PEC each. You will need to refine 3 stones in order to make one Ingot. Each Ingot has a TT value of 0.60 PED which is simply the value of the three stones used to create it. Both the Stones and Ingots are stackable.
Rarity of Pyrite
Pyrite is one of the slightly rarer mining resources you will run across. This is due to two primary reasons. The first is that there simply aren’t many places you will be able to find it. Second, it is most usually found in Lootable PvP areas.
Due to primarily being mined in PvP Lootable areas it can be difficult to mine. It’s one of the few resources you do not want to find in large quantities. If you are unlucky and hit a Global or even worse, a HOF or All Time High, everyone will know. You would very quickly be over run with players wanting to kill you and take your loot. A bad day no matter how you stack it.
This means if you are looking for Pyrite in PvP Lootable areas get in and get out. As quickly as you can, preferably with a Teleportation Mindforce Chip. Note that you can also find it in PvP non-lootable which is the safer way to mine this resource. You simply take the chance of finding it less often.
Demand For Pyrite
There is pretty good demand for Pyrite. The reason being is that it is not only rare but useful. While the unrefined Stones can only be traded or sold the Ingots are a different matter. Ingots are used in various construction processes. Some of the blueprints which use the Ingots create popular crafted items.

As you can see the damage enhancers drive the demand for Pyrite. You have to have it for every construction attempt. This is where the majority of the Ingots are consumed. Not just anyone can craft damage enhancers properly. Trying to craft with this resource without the proper skills can be very costly.
Mark Up
Because there is rarity and demand there is mark up. This can be good news for those players lucky enough to find it. The bad news is that the mark up fluctuates. I have seen prices get high when people REALLY want it for crafting. Then again I have seen prices plummet when people want to make money crafting.
The best advice I can give you is to do your research. Since we actively craft damage enhancers we are usually looking to buy Pyrite Ingots. But we don’t get into bidding wars. A lot of crafters are simply gamblers. They couldn’t care less about profit or loss. That’s exactly why they never last as long term players.
Before you sell to anyone, including us, be sure it’s in your best interest. You will want to look at what other players are willing to pay, current auction offers, orders and much more. Always be sure to calculate the cost of completing a transaction. We will often times pay less than the market rate but we are willing to buy any quantity large or small.
Other Considerations
You will want to have good knowledge of the game and Mining before you look for Pyrite. If you have the skills to use it for crafting that’s great. But if your crafting skills are lacking it may be better to sell to other players. Since the price fluctuates be sure that you are getting a deal that helps you meet your goals. Always remember to factor in the costs of completing a transaction.
This is one of those mining resources that can be great for trading. When in doubt we are always here to help if we can!
