So, there’s completing the event, and there’s “completing the event in a satisfying (or acceptable) fashion”.
For myself, if I have to jump through what I consider to be cumbersome, slow and boring hoops in order to finish, then I simply won’t do the event. As much to add my “players who don’t bother to participate” count to the stats that CCP will inevitably run as for any other reason. So I get it if anyone simply chooses not to finish because it isn’t worth the time, trouble, or change to the routine.
However, for someone who wants to finish and doesn’t mind doing the extra hoops, I would recommend a mixture of do whatever relic sites you can find, mine Tyranite in the Tryanite sites you’ll find, buy some Filament and Emission blueprints and loop the Industry loop as much as you can:
Reddit: Reckoning Event Industry Loop
As an alternative to the Industry loop, or just to change pace, follow Ashterothi’s guide to the Drifter Wormhole Tourism loop:
And from time to time, you can also drop in any Combat site that shows and pick up some ‘visit site’ and ‘kill Drifters’ points, even if you won’t usually get the Battleship kill or drop. My Gnosis with something like 80 EHP/s passive shield tank and 400-ish HP/s missile/drone DPS (using target painters for application) was able to do the sites, so it doesn’t take a huge fit to do it.
It may be more trouble than it’s worth (for me it is), but it’s definitely possible to complete it without searching hundreds of systems for sites.
Blueprint / Filament / Emission names (search Contracts for BPCs, Market for finished items):
Filaments - Azdaja Redoubt, Conflux Eyrie, Liberated Barbican, Sanctified Vidette, Sentinel MZ
(Search Contracts, All, ‘filament’)
Emissions - Wideband/Midband/Narrowband Emission Amplifier Blueprint
Wideband/Midband/Narrowband Emission Limiter Blueprint
(Search contracts, All, ‘emission’)
Hope that helps anyone who’s hoping to grab the points needed to complete.
