I’m still seeing people asking questions about the basic event sites in high sec. So tossing a few details in here. There are 3 types of sites for doing the event reward chain in high sec:
Tyranite Deposits: these are mining sites. They show up on the Opportunities, Capsuleer Day tab (looks like a wormhole icon near top of the Opportunities list on left side). They show on the Opps/Caps.Day tab mostly when they are 1 system away (but sometimes farther). Once you jump in to the system where they are, they DON’T show on the Opps tab. You now see them as a CELESTIAL BEACON in your Overview (so make sure you have those turned on to show).
Once you warp to them, you won’t see the asteroids on Overview. Click on one of the asteroids that has blue lumps on it, right-click and Add Tyranite to Overview (on your Mining tab, if you have one). A simple Venture is decent for picking up around 8k Tyranite per hold full, but it’s slow. There were no NPCs or threats at the 3 sites I mined, but presumably there’s some risk. Maybe.
You can’t complete the event just by mining, because you need Filament blueprints (from Relic Sites) to continue the Industrial line. So on to…
Reckoning: Sleeper Reserve Relic Sites: These don’t show up on any tabs. They’re Cosmic Signatures that you have to scan down. So be prepared to jump a lot of systems, and scan a lot of signatures, in order to find Reckoning: Sleeper Reserve relic sites. A Heron or other T1 Probe ship is adequate for scanning these down, but it will go faster if you put decent scanning modules etc on it.
Reckoning: Sleeper Forge Combat Sites: These show on the Opportunities, Capsuleer Day tab. Once in the system with them, you can use their card in that tab to Warp To them. The warp is to an acceleration gate, so you can safely warp to the site and leave. Jump through the first gate to fight 2 waves of 4 Reckoning NPCs. Mostly small, fast-moving ships so you need good application. Clear room, jump to room 2, fight 1 more wave of 4 Reckoning NPCs, then the Battleship spawns.
My Battlecruisers were running around 80 EHP/s tank (with some buffer), and around 450 HP/s damage IIRC, with target painters to help with application and aggro management. The Reckoning NPCs can eat drones fairly quickly, but they can still be used if you keep an eye on them. While that sort of fit was ‘workable’, I lost all 4 Battleship kills to people who warped in while I was fighting with better ship/fit/skill mixes. So you’ll want either want a decent fit or just go way off the beaten path if you want the BS kill.
The sites are similar with slightly different names in Low Sec, and are presumably a bit harder. I haven’t tried any LowSec sites yet. More details on the EVE University page:
(Edit: Changed term for Relic sites to the correct ‘Cosmic Signatures’)
