Last year I put together a video series on all of the high security Serpentis combat sites. Now I’m doing the same for the Guristas! This guide is primarily geared towards newer pilots, though it does have some info on NPC spawns for some sites that may not be widely known.
The DED rates sites are likely to start coming out next Saturday, November 13th. I have a bit more stats gathering for the 3/10 and 4/10 sites I want to do; and am trying out a few fits for the 5/10.
I haven’t had a lot of luck with the unrated Guristas sites escalating through to the finale. I won’t release those videos until I have complete footage… Meanwhile I went out to Minmatar space to run some unrated Angel sites for all of two days, and got escalations galore.
This site seems a bit flakey, as there’s a named NPC that doesn’t always seem to appear. I’m not sure if this is a game bug, or if players might be interfering with it by only running the first room and trying to sell the passkey in contracts.
Meanwhile, things have picked up for the Guristas unrated sites, so videos for those are definitely on the way as well!
And here’s the Guristas 4/10, the Guristas Scout Outpost. Gotta love those multispectrum shield hardeners…
The 5/10 will be coming next Saturday. In the meantime, I made good enough progress on videos for the unrated sites to comfortable start releasing them a little earlier than I was originally thinking. The Gurista Hideout will be out this upcoming Wednesday, and the rest on a Wed/Sat schedule starting the following week…
And here’s the Gurista Lookout, along with its escalation Trap!
I definitely found that running the unrated escalations in Caldari space can frequently lead to long routes, if you have your autopilot set to Prefer Safer. Caldari high-security space is heavily fragmented into long pipes that end near low-security systems. I constantly was bouncing between Oimmo, Mastakomon, or all the little islands in Lonetrek.
I’ll be posted videos for the Watch and Vigil on Sat, Dec 18 and Wed, Dec 22 respectively…
And closing out the high-security Guristas combat site series with the Gurista Vigil, and its escalation Kidnapped! Another potentially tough fight, unless you know how to blitz it…
I’ve already started running sites in Minmatar space, so I hope to start posting video guides for Angel Cartel sites in the new year… Until then, have a great holiday season!
Nice job and gratz for all the hard work creating a walk-thru video series for Serpentis and Guristas exploration combat sites. Also for the Gallente Cosmos and Epic Arc.
Always good to have info guides created for the community. Your hard work is appreciated.
