Update 14.10: We've turned your responses into a piece of curated content: Crimson Harvest fits and tips 2024 . Thank you for all of your entries!
The Blood Raiders and the Order of St. Tetrimon are locked in a bloody battle, and it's up to you to harvest the grim rewards.
It's spooky season once more in New Eden; that means it's time for you to tell the rest of the community how to make the most of the festivities. To reflect the short runtime of this bounty, we're upping the reward values. There are two ways to enter this Crimson Harvest guide bounty: with text (to win $4) and with video (to win $15).
No matter which medium you enter with, it must be original content aimed at guiding players through Crimson Harvest 2024. It could include ship fits, fully fledged guides to a particularly activity, or a selection of thoughtful top tips. We'll aim to quickly turn these around into a Crimson Harvest guide, so we'd appreciate clarity in your written entries. Furthermore, please specify which activities you're offering advice for.
Note: While Crimson Harvest 2024 shares similarities with previous years, we will not be accepting guides unless they're not tailored specifically towards this year's activities.

There are many good content creators out there who covert the basics of running these sites, so I decided to mix my passion for Eve Cinematics with a little instructional video on how to avoid Datasite campers in low and null. Enjoy!
The event focuses on harvesting, but who says we can't harvest the harvesters? This fit is designed for farming marauders in high-sec space. With the current 90% drop rate, it’s a highly efficient setup. Yes, it's pricey, but after the event, you can either sell it or save it for the Winter Event.
How It Works:
Find a quiet system – avoid doing this near Jita.
Ensure there are other runners in the system.
Head to a combat site where someone is already fighting and start damaging the bosses.
Your goal is to not deal the most damage (the boss wreck goes to the pilot who deals the most damage).
Steal the loot, flag yourself, and wait for an angry marauder to engage.
Once they attack, point them and take them down.
With this setup, you can tank up to two marauders, though they are usually alone. Watch for drone aggro, orbit at 500m, and scoop them up if your opponent targets them, keep re-deploying them. Maintain damage pressure and attack their capacitor, turning the neutralizer off periodically. Load all four types of torpedoes and see which one deals the most damage.
If you can’t break their tank, you have two options: Use MWD to escape and warp off (especially useful if 3-4 pilots show up), or keep them pinned until downtime and ask for ransom (you can usually negotiate ransom twice – this tactic works).
