1 very useful scanning trick once u have learn the ropes is to use planets and moons to faster scan down sites. Cosmic signatures are designed so that they can only spawn within 4AU from a moon or a planet. Using this knowledge we can place the center of the probes on the planet itself or inbetwinn the cosmic marker and the moon/planet and set the scan radius down to 4AU right away instead of 8AU. If there are multiple moons/planets around u can still miss your target but in most cases there is only gonna be 1. Ofc the better your scanning skills are the faster this is gonna go, but this 4AU trick will save u alot of time in the long run when scanning for anything.
I've had an account with Eve on and off for years, mostly ice mining. I've been giving the scanning thing a go this time around and this video answered a bunch of questions I wasn't sure how to answer. Thanks for the tips, good stuff.
I clearly was in violation of the WH police. got destroyed, capsule and all in WH space. then a mail requesting 10 mil fine. I love WH space. Gas mining is my Jam.
Ahoy Captain! o7 I’m a returning pilot EVE and this past weekend I got myself a little Heron setup for exploration and went into my first few wormholes. First time in I didn’t find much besides NPC’s and more wormholes. My second WH I found a data site and got away with 24mil. I did one more before calling it a night and found a relic site with nearly 100mil ISK in loot. My heart was racing until I got over to Jita, it was the most exciting thing I’ve done in game in a long time. Thank you for all your guides and videos, I wouldn’t have had the guts to even try WH’s without you.
A great guide. I've been playing now for 2 weeks. I gave wormholes a try after seeing this video. I managed to make 31 million ISK in 2 hours. Thank you for the great informative content and advice, very helpful.
Major thanks for detailed instructions on what to do once inside, and also on translating the wormhole information before entering. I was finally able to get rid of the 0 for 1 gas site window on my screen.
You dont need to use those icons at the bottom, just double click inside the system display and it will flip all on it's own. Double click again, and it will flip back.
While i wasnt into exploration, now i am kinda in it I even managed to survive mining arkornor in a wormhole and getting a full load, before i had to run from someone jumping on me It was a nice first time experience
Here because I flew my beginner Imicus into wormhole, did not bookmark and got stuck. I did a lot of probe scanner learning in that next half hour or so. I eventually scanned another wormhole down and was so desperate to get out I flew straight through only to end up deep in nul-sec with 40-odd jumps between me and relative safety. I decided to run the gauntlet and with about 10 jumps to go I was caught by the most aptly named ship given the circumstance - a Flycatcher. I was promptly destroyed. I messaged the pilot to compliment his ruthless efficiency and mentioned I was a new player who wandered ill-prepared into wormhole space. He answered in another language however I did leave a smiley in my message so he hopefully gleaned its postive tone. He kindly reimbursed me the cost of my ship. A bit of a crash course but when it was all done I was glad it played out exactly as it did. Cheers for a fantastic channel.
Hey Benzie! I have watched a ton of your videos, joined discord, and Catskull Cartel. I just wanted to tell you and others who may see these comments that yesterday I spent all day searching for a gas site. I went in and out of wormholes, chained wormholes, even set up a "perch" and worked a few data sites along the way. I totally expected to die at some point, but I did not. Great pointers in all of these videos. I have not been playing long but I was so surprised to have been able to play for so long and not die. I actually got far enough away from "home" that I kind of wish someone would have got me, but I counted it a success getting all the way back to Tolle. Anyway, thanks for the great content! btw, not that it matters, but I am 66 years old, and fairly new to Eve Online.
guess I should have watched this 2 days ago was I'm brand new 16 days old when I ventured into my first WH. Was searching for data sites and ta da WH took me half an hour of watching the in game WH basics then you bet I WENT IN ... it was a M555 big enough to pull your house in wow, anyway everyone on rookie help was to busy with their chats to give any substantial help so I wasn't going to let fear and common sense get in my way...once inside I had a good look and there was a whole solar system in there, I had no idea but I could see 6 or 7 cosmic signatures just what I was searching for also 19 or so combat sights and 3 ore sites. So before plunging in I went back out to fetch my relic analyzer which was back at the school... 7 jumps away back I came the next morning because of the information I got by clicking on the WH, I knew it was going to be here for quite a few hrs more. I then had to rescan for it but I had the info written down so was quick...back in I went. First cosmic signature I scanned down turned out to be a data sight just what I needed for the capsuleer event. Was more difficult to scan than usual but I got it. Grit me teeth and headed for it forgot to bookmark the entrance oops also more important forgot to set a way point. As soon as I got there 3 seconds later was in my capsule blinking. Turned out was a sleeper site boo another million ISK probe gone...life in EVE. Always a learning adventure and fun...good thing the first thing I learned was how to make ISK in the market. Anyway if I come across another WH you can bet....I'm definitely heading in !!! Arora22

Thank you for your instruction in this manner, I have lost heaps of ships becuase I am just feeling my way around and trying different stuff. I had a ball today going into a wormhole for the first time. I fitted a catalyst with some mining equipment as well as some protection. I was scanning some areas and made a few location bookmarks to get back to later. I was attacked by who knows what, and I managed to get out and warp home using the methods you decribed here. I made it by the skin of my teeth, but I made it. It was sooooo much fun! I was 49% damaged by the time I got back to my home station. I don't have any cloaking devices so was pretty exposed lol, but man the adrenaline was pumping. Best time ever, even though I nearly lost my ship.
Congratulations and welcome to the wormhole life! Yeah, they can be pretty scary but that fear is what makes it fun (for me, at least!) May have been Sleepers, the NPCs you find in J-Space. They're scary! 😂
I went into wormholes totally blind. Jumped from place to place doing data sites. Got lost with more money in my cargo than I've ever seen in this game. Eventually find a wh back to my corner of space. Warp in. As im on approach, another homie pops out. Hit the stealth. Most tense game in my entire life as he deploys his drones and starts trying to get close enough to knock me out of it. Came down to a game of us both choosing direction and seee who wins
Did my first wormhole after watching this. Before this I avoided wormholes because they seemed dangerous but after taking simple steps they are not so bad anymore.
3:40 And then for some of us who suffer true paranoia, you can't enter a system without immediately warping off to set at least 4 bookmarks on at least 2 divergent paths and periodically bounce between them if you stay in system.
Of course the wormhole video is the one to premiere while you're still working on getting everything back online :P Love wormholes, easily the thing that will get me to stick around EO longer than the 0 days I was planning/hoping for :P -- still hoping that the eo corp decides to settle in one. Anyway, hope the account restoration is going well, as always reach out if you need anything.
very cool...after seeing this i'm gonna go and find my wormhole today....HOPEFULLY......another excellent guide...thx a lot and greetings from Germany !
One time i was in a wormhole and a ship was on my dscan. I was in my tengu, i had just blown up someone with a bunch of exploration loot so i was feeling cocky. I scan the guy down and sit there and watch him cloaked, and i figure he is AFK. So i uncloak and start blasting him with my tengu and he scrams me and then 3 paladins show up and basically took me out within seconds. Big fish eat little fish as they say
I love wormholes. Been playing since 2006 off and on, couple months a year. I forget to save my exit 2/5 times. I live in wormholes but I still forget more than I'm comfortable with.
"Bookmark the freakin' exit!" Yeah... I remember me being pretty bad about that. Always eager to start finding stuff to do, and only after I warp away I remember that I forgot to do that. Fortunately, if you do, it's not that hard to scan it down again, and usually you tend to know in what corner of the system to look. It can be pretty nerve-wracking doing that when you keep seeing probes in D-scan though 😂.
I have the most horrid RNG luck. I can't find anything BUT wormholes and combat sites. I have not found any data or relic sites as of yet outside of a wormhole. I have not gotten enough training for cloaking, and I have been chased off every data or relic site so far. I will say one guy killed me, and he was an absolute gentleman because he sent me ISK to replave my ship! My second death was not so lucky, and while I don't mind dying in the least, however, it would be really fun to actally use my hacking 5 or archeology 4 skill one of these days lol. Your videos are a huge help, Captian! You, sir, are an officer and a gentleman!! Im I'm the process of looking for a corp while I am doing my enforcer and other AIR training. Love your videos! Makes eve online a lot safer and less likely for me to rage quit again 😆
@@captainbenzie thanks, just trying to find myself a Corporation at the moment. It's hard though to know which one to sign up with. Your videos as a great help all the same.
It can be very random, sometimes you don't see one for a week and then sometimes you find like 12 in one system. It can be hard to go into J space with a plan because everything is random (well it's not but it effectively is), when you live there you kinda just do whatever is on offer that day usually.
J space best space !! Loved WH life ever since I scanned my first one down, running C3's in a passive drake to living in a c3 before moving into a C5-C5. Happy days. Miss them 😢
Hey, made a mistake and watched your videos on EVE. Been a long time since I played, but due to your influence I returned. Now I'm trying to remember how to play. Note: activated an old account and am flying a venture(I'm a miner) and in a week I should be able to fly a Barge. Thanks, lol.
Welcome back!! Make sure to claim 1m free SP using my referral link in the description (works on older accounts too)! Hope you enjoy being back in New Eden!
@@captainbenzie well I went to a certain system I remember and the ore I was looking for was no longer there. Looking around a bit I found that where it used to be in 0.6 systems it is now in 0.5 and below.
I have to say, I had 50 hours in eve in HS and LS and I found it so boring even as a noob. I joined a wormhole Corp 10 days ago and I can never see myself going back to K space content again. I could write an essay on why being a wormholer is so frickin good man!!!
As for bookmarking the exit. Once you're in the new area find yourself on the scan map and focus scan yourself and you'll get the wormhole exit scanned in one quick scan.
Great video, thanks for sharing. Very new to the game but now saved enough to buy first advanced ship for exploration so would appreciate an advice on what's good. What ship are you flying? Can you post the fit? Thanks
Nice and congratulations! Yes, I've done videos recently answering those exact questions. Which Explorer Is Right for You, and Why I Love The Cheetah. Explorers are fairly personal in preference. I can't just say "This ship with this fit" but those videos will cover everything!
@@captainbenzie thanks, watched those, brilliant! Cheetah looks great, will aim for that. BTW, whe wormholes vidoe should be linked as an in-game tutorial.
Simply put, I now do. But at the time, having a character training hacking and combat, whilst a second character trained gas/mining/reprocessing etc meant I could train BOTH rather than have to wait for one to finish
Glad you're enjoying it! If you haven't already used a referral code, you can click mine in the description to add 1m SP to your account. We also have a corp if you're looking for folks to fly with!
Question, (new to Eve Online) can you explain what the D scan button you say to spam is for? Does it make you harder to locate for people who are looking for you?
Great video.. sadly as a returning player it would seem I am a big noob.. I tried to do a wormhole.. went in .. didn't see anything around it but saw a star near it.. went to the star and lost track of how I got in.. tried to do a scan down and got blown up by some rats... sigh. I don't know when I will try it again but maybe sometime.
Hold Q and click. You'll need to click twice (X and Y). I just double click in space. Same effect - less accurate at first, but faster once you get the hang of it
@@captainbenzie So just hold Q hmm ya i usually just like you dbl click but was watching videos and seen people drag the blue line with circle etc at end around i was like that would work better for like PvP anyway thanks and love the videos do i follow keep it up
I played long time ago and lived with LOST in a c5. long before citadels were introduced. I found if you keep your wh connections under watch out it is a save space when clearing sites.
I'm a menace and I talk into local. Many people probe me down and warp cloaked to me but I always manage to escape. One dude even complimented my routine and indicated me to a system with loot ! If you want to be safe out there and talk in wormhole, here's my secret. Dscan often, because people will Dscan you before probing and these dudes probe really fucking fast. One scan, you're found. So you need to catch these probes on Dscan. Even in a safe, either unaligned or deep space (we can never be too sure) keep fucking moving. Keep props on and align to another safe (or a random celestial, tho it's less safe, it's better than nothing). Perfer microwarp drives. 2.5km/s can make an ennemy that warps to you be 50+ km away when they reach the end of their warp. If they aren't cloaked, you should notice them. If they are, hope you are faster than them because they will pursue you cloaked. I'm not omega so I don't have cloak, but I think most cloaks have a speed penalty. You should be safe, but please optimise your ships for speed. If you're really worried about speed, ditch the heron and get yourself the probe. One more low slot and more base speed ? Get yourself an overdrive, you'll be zooming around like a madman ! I prefer to keep using heron tho. in midslots I run one cargo scanner for cans, better run those sites fast, and I run that module that makes scanning faster instead of more accurate. You want to stick in one place as little as possible. Do not use any other t1 explorers than the heron or the probe. Tips for venture : Maybe scout ahead gas with a regular explorer. Venture has no bonus for scanning, you'll waste time. Plus, can't fit the scanner that fits combat probes, you'll see why that's relevant. Finally, use combat probes. Make other explorers you're trying to find them ! Make campers think you're ready for a fight ! That will decourage some, not all, but that's already that. you only lose the 0.25au range scan, and no loss in strength at any other range contrary to probe description.
Why sometimes takes longer to exit from the wormhole than others? Doesnt matter if I warp to 0 meters. And how to exit if a guy is camping the WH? (Im in a Venture).
Transiting a wormhole takes the same either way, that may just be lag. If there's a guy on the wormhole, if you warped to zero you should still jump okay. If he has a bubble though, well, then you're screwed. Technically should warp to a hole at 100km if you're not sure it's safe. Then if it's safe, warp back out, then warp back in at zero.
I was dscanning every ~20-30seconds and while i was hacking a relic site the hack failed because my ship just instantly blew up in one hit after someone warped in right next to me? How the hell could i have prevented that? Please help me, anyone. This was utterly demoralizing.
20 seconds is a long time. And an explorer should be able to warp away as someone appears. You've got to be quick, but don't worry - losing ships is part of EVE. Dont feel bad, just get out there and try again!!
@@captainbenzie Will do! I thought of maybe logging in with two accounts so that i can kinda guard myself or at least scare off some potential gankers. Good idea or am i just gonna lose two ships? Would it be better to go for a t3 cruiser to be able to scan and not get popped instantly or do those become so fragile with an exploration setup that it's not worth it?
@@towelie5997 so, multiboxing can absolutely be a viable option but remember, there is always a bigger fleet. Your two ships can still be ganked by three. Whilst learning, keep it cheap, and just keep at it!!
I thought no one could hide from the Local scanner? Thank you I learnt something about W\H today I don't normally go near them they are very strange lol.
Love to dive WH in either my astero or stratios. Sometimes I take my tengu. One of the scariest things to see is “no gate to gate route” on anything you have set destination to lol. Well besides seeing ships and combat probes on dscan
I remember my first experience in a wormhole. I was scanning and i found one I docked my scanning ship and got a destroyer. I jumped through. On the other side the first thing I noticed was how creepy it felt it was also felt lonely as there was no local. I tried to do a site but my skills at the time where not up to snuff. I got out of their quick. it was then I realized that I did not bookmark my exit, worse I had no probes so I could not scan my way out. I was trapped i called out in local i got no answer other then a message from the game. I do not remember what it said but i remember the quote I space no one can hear you scream. with no other option I self destructed my ship and then my pod and woke up in K-space. I vowed that next time I would bring probes.
I've been dabbling inside worm holes. I noticed after awhile in the gas sites, rats spawn in there. How difficult are those rats? I haven't tried engaging them since I'm just in a T1 Venture :) Any advice on how to combat them would be greatly welcomed :D
Stay tuned to TOMORROW'S video!! I showcase exactly how I deal with those. Some folks just go Ninja Huffing, warp in, grab as much as you can, warp out when they spawn, but I stick around and get the whole cloud ☺️🚀
When I've entered my first wh I didn't know they could lead to some different space, because I've found one before in hi-sec, and I open a map and see "A point of no return" and almost crap my pants, lol
It's in my Cheetah video, here: ruclips.net/video/2LGWR2nwz1A/видео.html but it's basically the probe launcher, cloak, Interdiction Nullifier, then rig for Scan Res, and play with the lows to get the best agility possible (remembering there's no difference between 2.9 and 2.1, you need to cross whole numbers, ie 2.99 is MUCH faster align than 3.01) I don't tend to worry with tank as your aim is to not get caught, so mids are Analyzers then Scan enhancers depending on your skills.
Hi!I just started playing eve online and my ship was destroyed when I went to a low safety system. Now I can't fire even with other ships and I am very confused.Can anyone answer me?
Have you fitted weapons to the new ships? Open the fitting screen and check the top left to see if there are any warnings, modules may be offline, you might not have the skills for the weapons you have fitted, or those weapons may not have ammo fitted. If you're still struggling, come join our Discord and we'll gladly help.
I scand down a Wormhole. Entered, scand down a gas site. I warped to the gas site and was killed instantly by pirates. My guess is that someone had already entered the gas site and mined it till the rats spawend. How can I tell if rhe rats are already there?
My first wormhole and I got lost in Jspafe 😂 I did bookmark the wormhole, but I didn't hear anyone explain how to pull it up. After panicking, a huge fleeet just showed up 😢
You need to scan down a new exit. If you can't, see if there's an EVE Rescue Cache nearby to help you scan an exit, or head to the EVE Scout Rescue website and request help
I'm still salty that c0v1d _ruined_ project discovery... exo-planet hunting was the BEST part of the game. If they brought that back, I'd be seriously tempted to go start playing again.
Why not use your keyboard for shortcuts. You are taking too much time clicking and moving a mouse. You can scan those in a fraction of the time. Along with putting a bookmark and jumping back to it after checking out the wormhole
I used bookmarks a lot and find that clicking works fine for me but whatever helps you most 😊 as I say in this video, a lot of the stuff I do keybind I'm still clicking here to demonstrate the basics
The first time I got killed, it was while I was in a Heron popping in through the other side of my first wormhole as a 1-month-old character. Then I went back in my "pvp" Caracal for revenge and got killed again...
Not strictly true. You get ghost sites in Wormholes too which are absolutely not safe and are named as faction (Guristas Covert Research Facility etc). The only safe ones in Wormholes are Ruined or Central.
@@captainbenzie Its been some years since I was last in a WH but I don't remember ever coming across those sites. Maybe I was doing WH's before they changed the sites or maybe I was just lucky. :)
@@captainbenzie Have done hundreds of them in normal space but must admit not in WH so far, mind you, they have changed so much since my WH'ing days, must be nearly 15 years since I was in WH Corp. Only way to live in WH's in them days was POS :)
Great vid bro however there one thing I would done differently. Right after jump in into wormhole space and bookmark the exit I would jump to celestial body or the sun about 50 km in the other direction and book mark a safe spot.
I do say this in the video, but for a ship with a cloak it's not a HUGE deal. I'm well over 100km from gate with a Covert Ops cloak. Not perfect, but it'll do for the demonstration ☺️
@@captainbenzie I know what you mean I perfer coverts ops ship for an extra safe measure. Plus I say a good 60 percent of time most players who enter j-space do PvE content. While the other 40 percent looking to PVP.
Correct, with Central, Local, and Regional, or Crumbling, Damaged, and Ruined denoting the "basic" sites. I will have a full video on Relic/Data Sites eventually.
Correct, with Regional, Central, and Local, or Crumbling, Decaying, and Ruined denoting normal sites 😊 I will do a more in-depth video later on scanning and exploration
@@captainbenzie Yes it is, but having been a member of several wormholer corporations, I can also say that it is also the most dangerous space in the EVE universe for a pilot alone and even in a small group. In my opinion, to fully benefit from the riches of the WH, it is preferable to live in a WH surrounded by a corporation. But you should know that this game play is time-consuming, requires learning from the player and skills, and a real group spirit. Afterwards, I lived in HS,LS,goons NS but the place where I had the most fun was in WH. fly safe...
Didn't hear if you did, but it should be pointed out that Alpha players cannot use cloaks, and exploring wormholes without the ability to cloak is much riskier.

Was about to say the same thing. Good job mate. 👍
I've had an account with Eve on and off for years, mostly ice mining. I've been giving the scanning thing a go this time around and this video answered a bunch of questions I wasn't sure how to answer. Thanks for the tips, good stuff.
Awesome! I hope it helps you find more fun!
Always assume a Wormhole Police officer is cloaked nearby defending cultural sensitive sites from desecration
Lmao 😂
Cops? He's a murderer! He keeps saying 'arrest' but it's murder...
I know that differently ;)
Effing MotherCluckers, lmao
I clearly was in violation of the WH police. got destroyed, capsule and all in WH space. then a mail requesting 10 mil fine. I love WH space. Gas mining is my Jam.
Highly recommend creating a separate filter in your overview to use exclusively by D-Scan. Typically only including ships and probes.
Exactly how I now have it set up 😊
Ahoy Captain! o7
I’m a returning pilot EVE and this past weekend I got myself a little Heron setup for exploration and went into my first few wormholes. First time in I didn’t find much besides NPC’s and more wormholes. My second WH I found a data site and got away with 24mil. I did one more before calling it a night and found a relic site with nearly 100mil ISK in loot.

You dont need to use those icons at the bottom, just double click inside the system display and it will flip all on it's own. Double click again, and it will flip back.
Very good point, but wanted to demonstrate it clearly for this video 😊
While i wasnt into exploration, now i am kinda in it
I even managed to survive mining arkornor in a wormhole and getting a full load, before i had to run from someone jumping on me
It was a nice first time experience
That's awesome! Well done!!
Here because I flew my beginner Imicus into wormhole, did not bookmark and got stuck. I did a lot of probe scanner learning in that next half hour or so. I eventually scanned another wormhole down and was so desperate to get out I flew straight through only to end up deep in nul-sec with 40-odd jumps between me and relative safety. I decided to run the gauntlet and with about 10 jumps to go I was caught by the most aptly named ship given the circumstance - a Flycatcher. I was promptly destroyed. I messaged the pilot to compliment his ruthless efficiency and mentioned I was a new player who wandered ill-prepared into wormhole space. He answered in another language however I did leave a smiley in my message so he hopefully gleaned its postive tone. He kindly reimbursed me the cost of my ship. A bit of a crash course but when it was all done I was glad it played out exactly as it did. Cheers for a fantastic channel.
What an epic adventure! Really glad you're having fun!!
Hey Benzie! I have watched a ton of your videos, joined discord, and Catskull Cartel. I just wanted to tell you and others who may see these comments that yesterday I spent all day searching for a gas site. I went in and out of wormholes, chained wormholes, even set up a "perch" and worked a few data sites along the way. I totally expected to die at some point, but I did not. Great pointers in all of these videos. I have not been playing long but I was so surprised to have been able to play for so long and not die. I actually got far enough away from "home" that I kind of wish someone would have got me, but I counted it a success getting all the way back to Tolle. Anyway, thanks for the great content! btw, not that it matters, but I am 66 years old, and fairly new to Eve Online.

So before plunging in I went back out to fetch my relic analyzer which was back at the school... 7 jumps away back I came the next morning because of the information I got by clicking on the WH, I knew it was going to be here for quite a few hrs more. I then had to rescan for it but I had the info written down so was quick...back in I went.

Grit me teeth and headed for it forgot to bookmark the entrance oops also more important forgot to set a way point. As soon as I got there 3 seconds later was in my capsule blinking. Turned out was a sleeper site boo another million ISK probe gone...life in EVE. Always a learning adventure and fun...good thing the first thing I learned was how to make ISK in the market.

Congratulations and welcome to the wormhole life! Yeah, they can be pretty scary but that fear is what makes it fun (for me, at least!)
May have been Sleepers, the NPCs you find in J-Space. They're scary! 😂
I'm thrilled you have done this video. At some point I had hoped to publish a video like this because J-space is one of my favorite things.
Glad you enjoyed!!
The way you did that data site just hurts me XD
Wonderful guide, makes me want to find out all the little tricks of J-Space!
It's great fun out there!
@@captainbenzie You always have very fascinating topics of discussion. Being on comms sounds like an unequivocal blast!
I went into wormholes totally blind. Jumped from place to place doing data sites. Got lost with more money in my cargo than I've ever seen in this game. Eventually find a wh back to my corner of space. Warp in. As im on approach, another homie pops out. Hit the stealth. Most tense game in my entire life as he deploys his drones and starts trying to get close enough to knock me out of it. Came down to a game of us both choosing direction and seee who wins
Nice! Moments like that are what MAKE EVE for me!!
Similar experience in sanshas space in null.
What ship?
Did my first wormhole after watching this. Before this I avoided wormholes because they seemed dangerous but after taking simple steps they are not so bad anymore.
Fantastic!!
3:40 And then for some of us who suffer true paranoia, you can't enter a system without immediately warping off to set at least 4 bookmarks on at least 2 divergent paths and periodically bounce between them if you stay in system.
Of course the wormhole video is the one to premiere while you're still working on getting everything back online :P Love wormholes, easily the thing that will get me to stick around EO longer than the 0 days I was planning/hoping for :P -- still hoping that the eo corp decides to settle in one. Anyway, hope the account restoration is going well, as always reach out if you need anything.
very cool...after seeing this i'm gonna go and find my wormhole today....HOPEFULLY......another excellent guide...thx a lot and greetings from Germany !
Good luck! If you need a corp, don't be afraid to apply!
Thank you for this Tutorial, it really answered lots of questions for me!
Glad it was helpful!
One time i was in a wormhole and a ship was on my dscan. I was in my tengu, i had just blown up someone with a bunch of exploration loot so i was feeling cocky. I scan the guy down and sit there and watch him cloaked, and i figure he is AFK. So i uncloak and start blasting him with my tengu and he scrams me and then 3 paladins show up and basically took me out within seconds.
Big fish eat little fish as they say
The wonderful world of bait! Has caught me multiple times too!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!
I love wormholes. Been playing since 2006 off and on, couple months a year. I forget to save my exit 2/5 times. I live in wormholes but I still forget more than I'm comfortable with.
We all do it! If it helps, put this video on loop, put headphones in and fall asleep listening to it on repeat - subliminal education!! 😂
"Bookmark the freakin' exit!"
Yeah... I remember me being pretty bad about that.
Always eager to start finding stuff to do, and only after I warp away I remember that I forgot to do that.
Fortunately, if you do, it's not that hard to scan it down again, and usually you tend to know in what corner of the system to look.
It can be pretty nerve-wracking doing that when you keep seeing probes in D-scan though 😂.
In wormholes you bookmark everything. When your mom comes in , you bookmark her too ;-)
I have the most horrid RNG luck. I can't find anything BUT wormholes and combat sites. I have not found any data or relic sites as of yet outside of a wormhole. I have not gotten enough training for cloaking, and I have been chased off every data or relic site so far. I will say one guy killed me, and he was an absolute gentleman because he sent me ISK to replave my ship! My second death was not so lucky, and while I don't mind dying in the least, however, it would be really fun to actally use my hacking 5 or archeology 4 skill one of these days lol. Your videos are a huge help, Captian! You, sir, are an officer and a gentleman!! Im I'm the process of looking for a corp while I am doing my enforcer and other AIR training. Love your videos! Makes eve online a lot safer and less likely for me to rage quit again 😆
Keep at it, you'll get there!!
@@captainbenzie thanks, just trying to find myself a Corporation at the moment. It's hard though to know which one to sign up with. Your videos as a great help all the same.
It can be very random, sometimes you don't see one for a week and then sometimes you find like 12 in one system. It can be hard to go into J space with a plan because everything is random (well it's not but it effectively is), when you live there you kinda just do whatever is on offer that day usually.
I'm glad you got control back. Maybe it won't be too long and you'll get your name back as well. It sucks at all this happened
@@captainbenzie just don't let it stress you too much. Stress is a killer. The older you get the more harmful it is to your body.
Thank you so much for your detailed instructions! Greetings 🖖
Glad it helped!! 🚀
J space best space !! Loved WH life ever since I scanned my first one down, running C3's in a passive drake to living in a c3 before moving into a C5-C5. Happy days. Miss them 😢
Right on!
Awesome video, how do you know what gas cloud if safe to enter, as there will be some clouds that have heavy guns waiting to hit you...
The heavy sentries are in Ordinary Perimeter Reservoire sites. Ignore those
Hey, made a mistake and watched your videos on EVE. Been a long time since I played, but due to your influence I returned. Now I'm trying to remember how to play. Note: activated an old account and am flying a venture(I'm a miner) and in a week I should be able to fly a Barge. Thanks, lol.

@@captainbenzie Well, as a miner, I'm a little disturbed by the ore changes.
@@misterinadequate3518 in what sense?
@@captainbenzie well I went to a certain system I remember and the ore I was looking for was no longer there. Looking around a bit I found that where it used to be in 0.6 systems it is now in 0.5 and below.
Not a major problem. I also found that I cannot sell what ore I did mine in that system, I have to process it and sell the minerals or take it to Hek.
This guy really knows his holes!
😘
So, bookmarking the exit... you're saying we shouldn't do that? OK, got it! Thanks as always!
😂
I have to say, I had 50 hours in eve in HS and LS and I found it so boring even as a noob. I joined a wormhole Corp 10 days ago and I can never see myself going back to K space content again. I could write an essay on why being a wormholer is so frickin good man!!!
Amen to this! Really glad that you've found your fun!
As for bookmarking the exit. Once you're in the new area find yourself on the scan map and focus scan yourself and you'll get the wormhole exit scanned in one quick scan.
Great video, thanks for sharing. Very new to the game but now saved enough to buy first advanced ship for exploration so would appreciate an advice on what's good. What ship are you flying? Can you post the fit? Thanks
Nice and congratulations! Yes, I've done videos recently answering those exact questions. Which Explorer Is Right for You, and Why I Love The Cheetah. Explorers are fairly personal in preference. I can't just say "This ship with this fit" but those videos will cover everything!
@@captainbenzie thanks, watched those, brilliant! Cheetah looks great, will aim for that. BTW, whe wormholes vidoe should be linked as an in-game tutorial.
Great vid, thanks! What's the advantage of having skills on multiple characters? Why not huff gas on your hacker/main character?
Simply put, I now do. But at the time, having a character training hacking and combat, whilst a second character trained gas/mining/reprocessing etc meant I could train BOTH rather than have to wait for one to finish
makes sense, thanks!
Fantastic Video iam def going to try this out :)
Hope you enjoy it!
I finally quit Echoes and started playing EO again after all these years, loving it.

@Captain Benzie That's very kind thank you. Will message you ingame.
Question, (new to Eve Online) can you explain what the D scan button you say to spam is for? Does it make you harder to locate for people who are looking for you?
It lets you know if people are around you. I did a video tutorial on it here: ruclips.net/video/56Yx7nDJlAM/видео.html
@@captainbenzie I'll check out your video, thanks!
do you have link to that ship fitting / ship info?
I've covered it in my video on how to fit an explorer.
Great video.. sadly as a returning player it would seem I am a big noob.. I tried to do a wormhole.. went in .. didn't see anything around it but saw a star near it.. went to the star and lost track of how I got in.. tried to do a scan down and got blown up by some rats... sigh. I don't know when I will try it again but maybe sometime.
Wormholes are scary at first, but many of us make them home. Just takes practice and learning ☺️
How strong are the rats in J-Space? Like if I want a ship to babysit a venture gas huffer, is that feasible?
Depends on the site but they can be quite fierce compared to K-Space rats. When I do guard duty I use a T2 HAC.
Ok so have question when in space i see people in videos align bye dragging marker to direction how do you do that if can ask
Hold Q and click. You'll need to click twice (X and Y). I just double click in space. Same effect - less accurate at first, but faster once you get the hang of it
@@captainbenzie So just hold Q hmm ya i usually just like you dbl click but was watching videos and seen people drag the blue line with circle etc at end around i was like that would work better for like PvP anyway thanks and love the videos do i follow keep it up
The feeling you get when you remember to bookmark the exit half a second to late ;)
Great Video. I love your stuff
Thank you! 😊🚀
ALT + scroll changes the probe scan radius on Windows so you don't have to fiddle with the slider.
I actually have it keybound to [ and ] for swift use, but wanted to show the basics in this video
I played long time ago and lived with LOST in a c5. long before citadels were introduced. I found if you keep your wh connections under watch out it is a save space when clearing sites.
Yup, exactly what most wormholer corps do! Post eyes on the holes 👀
Thanks! Very helpful!
Glad to help!!
I'm a menace and I talk into local. Many people probe me down and warp cloaked to me but I always manage to escape. One dude even complimented my routine and indicated me to a system with loot !
If you want to be safe out there and talk in wormhole, here's my secret.
Dscan often, because people will Dscan you before probing and these dudes probe really fucking fast. One scan, you're found. So you need to catch these probes on Dscan.
Even in a safe, either unaligned or deep space (we can never be too sure) keep fucking moving. Keep props on and align to another safe (or a random celestial, tho it's less safe, it's better than nothing). Perfer microwarp drives. 2.5km/s can make an ennemy that warps to you be 50+ km away when they reach the end of their warp. If they aren't cloaked, you should notice them.
If they are, hope you are faster than them because they will pursue you cloaked. I'm not omega so I don't have cloak, but I think most cloaks have a speed penalty. You should be safe, but please optimise your ships for speed.
If you're really worried about speed, ditch the heron and get yourself the probe. One more low slot and more base speed ? Get yourself an overdrive, you'll be zooming around like a madman !
I prefer to keep using heron tho. in midslots I run one cargo scanner for cans, better run those sites fast, and I run that module that makes scanning faster instead of more accurate. You want to stick in one place as little as possible.
Do not use any other t1 explorers than the heron or the probe.
Tips for venture :
Maybe scout ahead gas with a regular explorer. Venture has no bonus for scanning, you'll waste time. Plus, can't fit the scanner that fits combat probes, you'll see why that's relevant.
Finally, use combat probes. Make other explorers you're trying to find them ! Make campers think you're ready for a fight ! That will decourage some, not all, but that's already that. you only lose the 0.25au range scan, and no loss in strength at any other range contrary to probe description.
Woot woot! Benzie is back! Good to see progress being made on the account recovery, screw the guy that did it
What do you do if it collapses behind you? Or if you come back to leave and it isn`t there.
Scan down a new exit
@@captainbenzie So I just scan down a new exit and take a long trip home is that it?
I'm a returning player How do I join the cat skull corporation
Why sometimes takes longer to exit from the wormhole than others? Doesnt matter if I warp to 0 meters. And how to exit if a guy is camping the WH? (Im in a Venture).
Transiting a wormhole takes the same either way, that may just be lag. If there's a guy on the wormhole, if you warped to zero you should still jump okay. If he has a bubble though, well, then you're screwed. Technically should warp to a hole at 100km if you're not sure it's safe. Then if it's safe, warp back out, then warp back in at zero.
@@captainbenzie Thanks a lot for the answer:)
I was dscanning every ~20-30seconds and while i was hacking a relic site the hack failed because my ship just instantly blew up in one hit after someone warped in right next to me? How the hell could i have prevented that? Please help me, anyone. This was utterly demoralizing.
20 seconds is a long time. And an explorer should be able to warp away as someone appears. You've got to be quick, but don't worry - losing ships is part of EVE. Dont feel bad, just get out there and try again!!
@@captainbenzie Will do! I thought of maybe logging in with two accounts so that i can kinda guard myself or at least scare off some potential gankers. Good idea or am i just gonna lose two ships? Would it be better to go for a t3 cruiser to be able to scan and not get popped instantly or do those become so fragile with an exploration setup that it's not worth it?
@@towelie5997 so, multiboxing can absolutely be a viable option but remember, there is always a bigger fleet. Your two ships can still be ganked by three. Whilst learning, keep it cheap, and just keep at it!!
I thought no one could hide from the Local scanner? Thank you I learnt something about W\H today I don't normally go near them they are very strange lol.
In Wormholes, the Local only activates when you speak 🙂
I just started game and tried joining your discord for Eve for some reason.
You made that look easy! Still not tried a WH but it now it looks interesting. Need to understand DScan as I’ve not done that at all. Yours Eye o7
Love to dive WH in either my astero or stratios. Sometimes I take my tengu. One of the scariest things to see is “no gate to gate route” on anything you have set destination to lol. Well besides seeing ships and combat probes on dscan
All things I love about J-Space!!
@@captainbenzie it’s definitely addicting. That’s about all I do anymore.
I can make book marks, how do I bring up the list and is there z limit of how many and di skulls effect the list ammount?
Should I bookmark the wormhole after I jump in? 😅
It's considered a "good idea".
I remember my first experience in a wormhole. I was scanning and i found one I docked my scanning ship and got a destroyer. I jumped through. On the other side the first thing I noticed was how creepy it felt it was also felt lonely as there was no local. I tried to do a site but my skills at the time where not up to snuff. I got out of their quick. it was then I realized that I did not bookmark my exit, worse I had no probes so I could not scan my way out. I was trapped i called out in local i got no answer other then a message from the game. I do not remember what it said but i remember the quote I space no one can hear you scream. with no other option I self destructed my ship and then my pod and woke up in K-space. I vowed that next time I would bring probes.
When in a wormhole always assume a cloaked Wingspan fleet or cloaked me is watching you.
I've been dabbling inside worm holes. I noticed after awhile in the gas sites, rats spawn in there. How difficult are those rats? I haven't tried engaging them since I'm just in a T1 Venture :) Any advice on how to combat them would be greatly welcomed :D
Stay tuned to TOMORROW'S video!! I showcase exactly how I deal with those.
Some folks just go Ninja Huffing, warp in, grab as much as you can, warp out when they spawn, but I stick around and get the whole cloud ☺️🚀
When I've entered my first wh I didn't know they could lead to some different space, because I've found one before in hi-sec, and I open a map and see "A point of no return" and almost crap my pants, lol
Lmao well now you know!!
Can you please share your fitting for this tutorial?
It's in my Cheetah video, here:
ruclips.net/video/2LGWR2nwz1A/видео.html
but it's basically the probe launcher, cloak, Interdiction Nullifier, then rig for Scan Res, and play with the lows to get the best agility possible (remembering there's no difference between 2.9 and 2.1, you need to cross whole numbers, ie 2.99 is MUCH faster align than 3.01)
I don't tend to worry with tank as your aim is to not get caught, so mids are Analyzers then Scan enhancers depending on your skills.
If you look closely at the textures you can tell each type of wormhole by its texture...but with certain frig-holes it's sometimes not so easy!!
Yup, every type has a different central visual, and the aurora denotes the mass limits.
once a wormhole collaspes behind me right after i got out it was scary
I love that seat of the pants feeling, though !
I can't tell you how many times I had to scan down the wormhole I forgot to bookmark in my early Eve career.
Hi!I just started playing eve online and my ship was destroyed when I went to a low safety system. Now I can't fire even with other ships and I am very confused.Can anyone answer me?
Have you fitted weapons to the new ships? Open the fitting screen and check the top left to see if there are any warnings, modules may be offline, you might not have the skills for the weapons you have fitted, or those weapons may not have ammo fitted.
If you're still struggling, come join our Discord and we'll gladly help.
I scand down a Wormhole. Entered, scand down a gas site.
I warped to the gas site and was killed instantly by pirates. My guess is that someone had already entered the gas site and mined it till the rats spawend. How can I tell if rhe rats are already there?
Warp at range, cloaked if your ship can.
can you make a video on how to install shortcircuit application for eve online . i like your videos and nice explanation , keep the good work man.
Bruh, is this what the inside of null stations look like? PoS? I've never seen that station background, nor been null/WH space 98m SP.
Nah, player stations. You can find them in Hisec too. You can even see your other ships that are docked there in the background.
referral codes works for steam? and i get something ?
It's a link you click that takes you to the EVE Online website. Log in with your account, bam, free skill points.
My first wormhole and I got lost in Jspafe 😂 I did bookmark the wormhole, but I didn't hear anyone explain how to pull it up. After panicking, a huge fleeet just showed up 😢
Where should I sell my sleeper blue loot
Type "CONCORD" into the search bar, in game, then find your closest Concord Station.
Btw I’m selling it at a concord station and it somehow buys around 30% below market average (did those guys at concord ran out of money)
Can you link the fits?
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Scanned down 5 systems 6-4-23 right after downtime and only found wormholes and combat sites. Just looking for some simple data and relic sites...
Lower class wormholes have Ruined and Central sites inside
If you go into a wormhole and the exit collapses are you stuck there forever?
You need to scan down a new exit. If you can't, see if there's an EVE Rescue Cache nearby to help you scan an exit, or head to the EVE Scout Rescue website and request help
Should I bookmark the exit to the wormhole? That wasn't clear.
It's considered a good idea 😉
I'm still salty that c0v1d _ruined_ project discovery... exo-planet hunting was the BEST part of the game. If they brought that back, I'd be seriously tempted to go start playing again.
Why not use your keyboard for shortcuts. You are taking too much time clicking and moving a mouse. You can scan those in a fraction of the time. Along with putting a bookmark and jumping back to it after checking out the wormhole
I used bookmarks a lot and find that clicking works fine for me but whatever helps you most 😊 as I say in this video, a lot of the stuff I do keybind I'm still clicking here to demonstrate the basics
I remember back in the day when you had to move each probe individualy...
Thank goodness that changed!!
so, do I need to book mark the exit?
It may be recommended 😉
Wormholes begin to visually wobble and pulsate and make weird noises shortly (a few minutes) before they collapse because their life time expires.
Yes, but it's a very short effect that most new players won't be able to spot.
The first time I got killed, it was while I was in a Heron popping in through the other side of my first wormhole as a 1-month-old character. Then I went back in my "pvp" Caracal for revenge and got killed again...
19:00 shouldn't you filter out MOONS from the results? the less results the easier you spot a new one (as others pointed out already it seems lel)
double click probe map and it will alternate between birds eye view and side
Good tip that I forgot to mention!
If I'm not mistaken faction named relic and data sites are safe all the others have NPC's, mind you, I've not been in WH's for years now.
Not strictly true. You get ghost sites in Wormholes too which are absolutely not safe and are named as faction (Guristas Covert Research Facility etc). The only safe ones in Wormholes are Ruined or Central.
@@captainbenzie Its been some years since I was last in a WH but I don't remember ever coming across those sites. Maybe I was doing WH's before they changed the sites or maybe I was just lucky. :)
@@crazycrentax they're rare but 100% there 😉 have been since the start and I've made a LOT of ISK in them 😁
@@captainbenzie Have done hundreds of them in normal space but must admit not in WH so far, mind you, they have changed so much since my WH'ing days, must be nearly 15 years since I was in WH Corp. Only way to live in WH's in them days was POS :)
My first one was after like first 4h game time ignored all warnings. Not the most pleasant experience xD.
But you learned something!
Great vid bro however there one thing I would done differently. Right after jump in into wormhole space and bookmark the exit I would jump to celestial body or the sun about 50 km in the other direction and book mark a safe spot.
I do say this in the video, but for a ship with a cloak it's not a HUGE deal. I'm well over 100km from gate with a Covert Ops cloak. Not perfect, but it'll do for the demonstration ☺️
@@captainbenzie I know what you mean I perfer coverts ops ship for an extra safe measure. Plus I say a good 60 percent of time most players who enter j-space do PvE content. While the other 40 percent looking to PVP.
Relic or data sites with forgoten or unsecured are guarded by sleepers
Correct, with Central, Local, and Regional, or Crumbling, Damaged, and Ruined denoting the "basic" sites. I will have a full video on Relic/Data Sites eventually.
Correct, with Regional, Central, and Local, or Crumbling, Decaying, and Ruined denoting normal sites 😊 I will do a more in-depth video later on scanning and exploration
JFC man, 511 notifications!
😅
There is so much to learn about WH...
It can be a lot of fun and very rewarding though!!
@@captainbenzie Yes it is, but having been a member of several wormholer corporations, I can also say that it is also the most dangerous space in the EVE universe for a pilot alone and even in a small group. In my opinion, to fully benefit from the riches of the WH, it is preferable to live in a WH surrounded by a corporation. But you should know that this game play is time-consuming, requires learning from the player and skills, and a real group spirit. Afterwards, I lived in HS,LS,goons NS but the place where I had the most fun was in WH. fly safe...
Didn't hear if you did, but it should be pointed out that Alpha players cannot use cloaks, and exploring wormholes without the ability to cloak is much riskier.
Correct, but doable. Using safe bookmarks as perches.
thank you for this
Hope it helps!!
Instructions unclear, did not bookmark my exit.
🤦
