Need advice for PVE

[Rikimaru_Assassin]

Sounds the right thing to do. Will try to find a place far away from jita

[Geo_Eclipse_Oksaras]

It’s gonna cost you over a mil to create a corp. You need corp management to level 1 then the mil is for creating the corp

[Rikimaru_Assassin]

So… learn the skill, find a suitable HS place faar from jita…make the corp (Can it be in a NPC station ?)…start doing missions / epic arcs / cosmos agents in that region… If I understand taht right

As with all things, google search is very helpful. Uniwiki is a good source of info:

https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Main_Page

Anyway, I was talking about the in-game star map. There’s an option in Esc menu to switch from using the new Beta map to the old star map which has the option available to color the stars according to which type of stat is selected.

https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Star_Map

As for Agents, you said you already completed the starting missions, I guess you mean the tutorial. That should have led you to the Career Agents.

https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Career_Agents
(Level 1)

This link explains about Epic Arcs:

https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Epic_arcs

After completing the Career Agents, the next step would be doing the level 1 Sisters Of Eve Epic Arc.

https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/The_Blood-Stained_Stars
(Level 1)

Cosmos Agents are special type of Agents that can only be completed once in the characters life. They offer a small series of missions that are a bit tougher than regular missions. They give out different rewards along with Faction standing increase upon completion.

https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/COSMOS

There’s also other special types of Agents available as well, such as Circle Agents and Data Center Agents.

https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Circle_Agents
(Level 1)

https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Data_centers
(Level 1 - 4)

The trick to doing Cosmos and Data Center Agents is first research them to see what’s needed to complete their missions and then collect the required items first before actually talking to the agents.

I suggest checking Eve Survival: Mission Reports first before doing regular missions and Epic Arc’s.

https://eve-survival.org/wikka.php?wakka=MissionReports

For Cosmos I basically used a variety of different guides for info. However that was a long time ago and most of those sites are no longer active. The Wayback Machine can still view most of those:

[Rikimaru_Assassin]

Nice ! Thats alot of good info. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks mate. I’ll be doing the epic arc then as a starter since I did 10/10 military in a career agent. See how that goes… then find a place to build a corp and do missions there… Besides reading all that good info .

[DeMichael_Crimson]

Hopefully you completed all 5 Career Agents. They do a pretty good job of giving a good jumpstart into the game.

[Rikimaru_Assassin]

I actually did only the military thing since mining, exploring and transporting I think its not my thing, but I should give that a go aswell to learn some new stuff maybe it will help in the future.

[DeMichael_Crimson]

Yeah, it’s a good idea to complete them all, they all give out equipment and stuff to help you get started.

Eventually if you continue doing missions, you’ll gain standings with some Factions while at the same time incur bad standings with other Factions. It’s just how the system works. The best thing to do is decline missions that are against other Empire Factions and just accept missions against Pirate Factions. Unless of course you don’t care about it and prefer to be a loyalist.

Anyway, just in case you find yourself in that position, you can check out ‘The Plan’ to help resolve that issue:

FACTION STANDING REPAIR PLAN aka 'The Plan'

[Rikimaru_Assassin]

Will have a look at that article aswell, thanks.

But if I start level 1 missions where my corp is, like somewhere in gallante space, can I do in the same region level 2 , 3 ,4, 5 missions in that region ? I mean, why go do missions in other regions ?

[Geo_Eclipse_Oksaras]

You’ll have to go to losec for some L4 (depending on corp) and all L5s.

[DeMichael_Crimson]

Yeah, you can do level 1 to level 4 missions in Gallente space for Career, Circle, Data Center and Cosmos. Level 5 Agents are located in Low Sec systems which technically are controlled by the various Factions but with almost zero enforcement, meaning no Concord NPC’s to enact revenge against those who attack you.

But like I said you’ll eventually end up incurring bad standings with some of the other Factions and as a result will be chased by Faction NPC’s if you enter their space.

Anyway, good luck and welcome to New Eden. Just watch out for the chaos that’s presently happening.

[Rikimaru_Assassin]

idk what chaos is happening right now but I dont really care
I am happy that I have a goal now with the guidance you guys provided and dont have to rage quit the game after 1 week cause I dont find a good way to grow with PVE.

Thanks again to everyone Now, time to read some info

[Geo_Eclipse_Oksaras]

You may want to care because you could be a victim of triglavians and their invasion. There was a hisec system that was converted to a losec system. Triglavians won their battle against EDENCOM

[Rikimaru_Assassin]

Ah ok… no idea what youre talking about at this point but I’ll try to be carefull. lol. thanks for the headsup !

[darkestkhan_Eriker]

@Rikimaru_Assassin

Yeah, prob its not the game I’m looking for after all since you cant do a decent go and kill some mobs without being screwed by other player with a bigger ship. Which is annoying as a new player cause u cant grind and grow

Because we all started as big fishes… newsflash: everyone started as small fish. Just that many decided to join some corporation to get extra information about how to do things in order to make isk.

@Rikimaru_Assassin

I mean, what does a Gila look in a “X Hideway” anomaly in HS anyway ?

It is farming escalations and looking for commander spawns.

[darkestkhan_Eriker]

@Geo_Eclipse_Oksaras

There was a hisec system that was converted to a losec system.

Already??? looks like I missed the good news

[Rikimaru_Assassin]

If its a farming escalation then it makes sense for him I asume but still ruins starting players combat site tho since he does most damage which takes the kill. Combat sites for a 5 days character are not the thing to do it seems. Glad I asked and learned about other PVE stuff that are possbile as a new player.

[Geo_Eclipse_Oksaras]

There’s no way you don’t know what’s going on. If you logged in since may 26 you had a big flashy screen talking about the invasion is now in the 3rd stage. The launcher contains news articles you may wanna read.

[Rikimaru_Assassin]

Yea, i see it in launcher but since i dont know what the stage 1 and 2 were about idk whats in stage 3 or what the invasion is about. But I’ll find out sooner or later. Too much info to absorb atm about PVE and how to create a gameplay that I might enjoy.

[Geo_Eclipse_Oksaras]

You are not gonna learn everything in a week. This is a game takes years to learn in some ways
