I started out confused, but by the time I had finished the latest EVE Online event, a gallente election, I was smitten. I have a hard time finishing most EVE Online events, they usually require me to leave my cozy wormhole, head to highsec/nullsec/lowsec or some other activity that I am less than thrilled to be doing.
This event had a long list of things I could do. I started out attempting to mine scordite like everyone else in the universe and quickly backed off of that one as it became the most rare ore in all of New Eden. In my wormhole, there were sites to hack that gave points, but searching for them was a bit hit / miss, I did find a nice C6 that had 6 of the sites, so that was lovely.
Eventually I opted for the lesser of all evils, and I grinded L1 security missions with the masses. I completed the quest chain, and then I promptly started doing it on alts.
Number one, the currency is actually tradeable. You can sell it on the market or pass it to your main . Alpha characters can also fully do this event – though the daily login rewards ARE boosted for Omega characters. I currently have 2 Omega accounts, and one alpha. For a change I decided to just stick with the alpha account and see what I could do. I found a Tristan fit that Alpha can use without too much issue, and off I went. Easy.
This is the first event I’ve completed so quickly, and also the first event that I’ve even WANTED to do on alts. I hope CCP keeps up with events of this type. I didn’t feel pigeonholed into completing something I wasn’t interested in, it didn’t take too much effort, and I found it mildly enjoyable. I do hear some corp mates who are leaning the opposite direction, but compared to the winter event I will take this one all day every day.
Fly your way! o7
