What modules should I roll?
First and foremost, rolling abyssal modules is a gamble, and in most cases, it is not a profitable activity. Most of the time, you are better off buying the specific module you need directly from the market. However, if you still decide to roll a module, keep these points in mind:
- Gravid/Decayed Meta Modules: These rolled modules are typically considered "self-use" only. They are not worth selling on the market because finding a buyer for them is extremely challenging. Keep this in mind when rolling such modules, as their value will generally be negligible outside personal use.
- Base Module Limitations: Some base modules are simply not worth rolling due to the availability of cheaper and better alternatives. For example, even a perfectly rolled T2 warp disruptor will always be less valuable than a 30km faction warp disruptor. This highlights the importance of carefully evaluating whether the base module you're rolling has the potential to compete with readily available alternatives.
- Officer Module Risks: Rolling officer modules is an exceptionally risky endeavor. These modules can lose a significant amount of value if their roll ends up within a range that is achievable using much cheaper faction modules. The potential for a high-value outcome exists, but so does the risk of a substantial loss.
What mutaplasmids should I use?
As a general guideline, use Decayed and Gravid mutaplasmids for meta modules and reserve Unstable mutaplasmids for higher-value modules. This strategy helps balance the cost of mutaplasmids against the potential value of the rolled module. However, there are important exceptions to consider:
- Specific stat goals: In some cases, the stats you're aiming for can only be achieved with a specific combination of a base module and a particular mutaplasmid. Research carefully to ensure you're using the appropriate combination to meet your desired outcome.
- Unstable mutaplasmid costs: Some unstable mutaplasmids are prohibitively expensive, often exceeding the value of the modules they're applied to. Examples include mutaplasmids for Damage Controls or Large Cap Batteries, where the high cost may outweigh the potential benefit unless you're targeting a very specific and high-value result.
