Help!
General questions
- F12 and right click are your friends!
Help in or around wherever you are
- There are thousands of systems in EVE, and many different ways in which you might want assistance. To get the best response, you will need to ask for help in such a way that others can determine how to actually help you.
- Having trouble with a mission? Ask for "Help in System Name with Mission Name"
- Want to team up for stuff? Offer to fleet, salvage, or duel "in System Name"
Tips
- Avoid autopilot.
- Check the Market before you buy or sell.
- If someone targets you or steals from you DO NOT ATTACK.
- Only mine in 0.7 to 0.5 security systems using anchored secured containers.
- To link text in game: type, highlight, then right-click. For example: Salvager I
Plan to save time
Manage your Attributes
- Why? Attributes underlie the speed at which your avatar learns or trains in a particular skill. All of the Rank (1) Learning skills rely upon Memory as their Primary Attribute, and Intelligence as their Secondary Attribute.
- Use Cybernetic implants
- Train up Cybernetics to at least III. To IV if you can afford the +4 cybernetic implants.
- As of the Apocrypha release, new avatars have two "free" neural remaps. Use your first neural remap for maximizing Memory and Intelligence attribute points.
- Cycle up to IV in Memory (1), Intelligence (1), and Learning (1) skills.
- Instant Recall I, Analytical Mind I, Learning I
- Instant Recall II, Analytical Mind II, Learning II
- Instant Recall III, Analytical Mind III, Learning III
- Instant Recall IV, Analytical Mind IV, Learning IV
- Train up the Memory (3) and Intelligence (3) skills to III.
- Eidetic Memory I, Logic I.
- Eidetic Memory II, Logic II.
- Eidetic Memory III, Logic III.
- Train up Learning (1) to V.
- Train up the other Rank (1) Learning skills to IV.
- Train up the other Rank (3) Learning skills to III.
- You can train up those skills even more, but doing so does take additional time and the benefit of time savings would only be seen after more than a year. Most of us, especially new players, want to do some fun stuff right away!
Beyond Learnings
- Looking ahead to an end goal can help you plan out your overall skill training. EVE Mon can help you with the specifics. It is a good idea to ask about what it takes to do something later on, like mine Mercoxit. For example:
- Pick the biggest ship you want to fly, then train for those skills.
- Pick the NPC corp with LP Store items or R&D agents you want and convenient stations before you run missions:
- 0% Take is at 6.67 Standing.
- 8.0 for jump clones.
