How It Works

This scanner identifies items where the market price is lower than the value of minerals you get from reprocessing them.

Example: If an item costs 100K ISK but reprocesses into minerals worth 150K ISK, you make 50K ISK profit (50% margin).

Note: Calculations assume 50% reprocessing yield and always value the resulting minerals using Jita 4-4 (The Forge) buy orders, even when the item is purchased in another region. This matches how the background scanner works: it compares the selected region’s sell orders against Jita mineral liquidation prices to spot true arbitrage.Profit values shown include your configured broker fees (3.00%) and sales tax (5.00%). Data refreshes automatically in the background—check the “Age” column to see how recent each opportunity is, and always double-check prices before trading.

About the EVE Online Arbitrage Scanner

The arbitrage scanner finds reprocessing and market opportunities in EVE Online — cases where an item is cheaper to buy than the sum of the minerals or components it reprocesses into, or where a price gap exists between orders. Instead of manually checking item values against mineral prices, the scanner compares live ESI market data across items and surfaces the spreads worth your time.

Reprocessing arbitrage is a low-risk industrial play: buy an item below its material value, run it through a reprocessing facility, and sell the resulting minerals. The edge is usually thin, so volume, reprocessing yield, and station taxes decide whether a trade is actually profitable.

How it works

Step 1

Pull live prices

The scanner reads current market prices from the EVE ESI API so comparisons reflect real order books, not stale cached values.

Step 2

Compare item vs. material value

For each item it estimates the value of the minerals or components it reprocesses into, then subtracts reprocessing taxes and yield losses.

Step 3

Rank the spreads

Opportunities are sorted by margin so you can focus on the trades that clear your effort and risk threshold.

Frequently asked questions

What is reprocessing arbitrage?

Buying an item for less than the market value of the minerals it reprocesses into, then reprocessing and selling those minerals for a profit.

Why do margins look small?

Reprocessing yield is never 100%, stations charge a reprocessing tax, and popular spreads get competed away quickly. Always factor yield and taxes before committing capital.

Does it account for my reprocessing skills?

Yield depends on your reprocessing skills, implants, and the structure you use. Treat the scanner output as a starting point and confirm your effective yield in-game.
