Editing Making ISK as an Explorer (section)

==Key loot items and their value==
This table lists the critical loot types for various site types.  It also provides a means to assess changes in the value of various sites and types of space.  

Modifications by CCP in the input materials needed for key blueprints can change massively the demand for some loot types in-game - and hence the value of the corresponding data and relic sites.  Similarly, increased player awareness of low-hanging fruit in the EVE Online universe can lead to increased farming and reductions in price due to the resulting increased supply.

''Table 1: Drop source and Jita-buy prices for high-value loot items in exploration sites.  Jita-buy prices obtained March 2023 and August 2023.
(Feel free to update the ''August 2023'' prices for the table and the date given here in the caption, but please do so for all items at the same time.)''
