Ahoy, mateys!

It's your dear Captain Grimoire here to teach ye' all that is needed to know about the exploration side of the Capsuleer Day XXI event!

To begin, I suggest using the Capsuleer Day Exploration fits that I have created over at EVEWorkbench. Each of the Empire Faction Covert Ops ships are represented with a fit to run solely the filaments, while the Astero is set up to run the Relic and Combat sites in space to get starter materials alongside being able to run the filaments.

The event is started by running Desolate Collapsed Conduit relic sites that are scannable cosmic signatures or by running the Treacherous Collapsed Conduit combat anomaly. Both of these sites can comfortably be found in Hisec systems and they are relatively easy to complete. Any basic exploration fit should work fine for the relics and I suggest at least a basic destroyer for the combat anomaly. As an experienced pilot, I found that the Astero fit linked on my EVEWorkbench was the best of both worlds for completing as many sites as possible to gather materials.

As you complete Relic and Combat sites, you will begin to find filament blueprints and the materials associated with manufacturing them. For exploration, the "Ruined" filament is the starter filament for the event. Creating a filament and using it will take you to a pocket of Abyssal deadspace that is full of Relic cans to hack. This is where the unique properties of my fittings really shine.

The cargo scanner allows for a pilot to check individual cans for materials and profit without having to hack them. This saves them valuable time, as each pocket will collapse after 30 minutes has elapsed. Running the Sensor Booster increases targeting range, allowing for cans to be scanned at further ranges, meaning that the pilot does not have to move as much to see everything in the room. On the Covert Ops fittings (Astero does not need due to being able to lock 7 targets), the inclusion of an Auto Targeting System allows 3 more locked targets, which is a big help while scanning out a pocket.

Another tip that I have found to be INCREDIBLY helpful is to form a fleet with yourself (right click your portrait in a chat window > Form Fleet With) and then utilizing the tagging feature to mark good and bad cans (I use CTRL + 4 + Click and CTRL +5 + Click for my tags). This keeps things organized and lets the pilot know at a glance which cans are worth taking, which aren't, and which cans have not been scanned.

The event repeats itself in structure all the way to the top difficulty, which is the Annihilated filaments. Scan cans, grab loot, make filaments, repeat. The only that that changes is that the loot is supposed to improve, the cans are more numerous, and the hacks get more difficult at higher difficulties. With the Origin conduit being accessible at any time, I recommend that pilots challenge themselves for better loot and more fun.

Relic Hacking Event Guide

Since the level 0 Sites are just the entrance the loot here is kind of super lucky but to find the first blueprint and some materials it is a good start. The Alternative is which you buy everything from Market.

Scannable Level 0 Site Level: Easy Note: These are the only ones in the wild, means you could get killed here. You also need to scan them down, but they are level 1 so it is very doable.

Every side below will be your 30 Minute private pocket.

Focus everything on relic :) Get an MWD and if you want to be picky a cargo scanner.

Implant wise pick these:

Poteque 'Prospector' Archaeology AC-905 (+5) Poteque 'Prospector' Environmental Analysis EY-1005 (+5)

This will give you around 40 Virus strength. If something is missing you can add a little bit more with the event Drugs. (if you go higher Tier you need at least 45 Attack to only recieve 10 damage instead of 20, see below)

SoCT Relic Strength Booster I (+4) SoCT Relic Strength Booster II (+6) SoCT Relic Strength Booster III (+8)

Optional Comfort Event Drug: SoCT Relic Coherence Booster I-III SoCT Relic Range Booster I-III

Now you are ready to go:

Filament Level 1 Site -> Ruined Electrical Filament Level: Easy

Filament Level 2 Site -> Devastated Electrical Filament  Level: Some Yellow nodes

Filament Level 3 Site -> Annihilated Electrical Filament Level: Some Red Node

If you want deeper Guide for hacking visit:

https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Hacking

Try to plan you route from the outside. If you find a Restoration Node kill it. Everything else which comes after will be repaired and makes it just harder. If you find a Suppressor, this also high prio target to remove. On Hard you will get at least 20 damage from the core, remeber this as the minimum health.

If you were good in minesweeper , this is kind of fun mini game.

Hi peeps

Pretty sure this counts as in the last part of the video we run a Desolated High Sec Triglavian Site with instructions on what to do and what to expect!

The first two parts of what will hopefully be a three parter!
