so dear Quill. because of you this is my 4th day in this game. everybody talks how easy and fun and lucrative exploring is. I decided to try it out. today I almost got stuck in a wormhole of a wormhole of a wormhole.... of! a wormhole. no ruins or data things in sight. somebody tried to kill me but was surprised that I got away so started conversation and helped me get out of the maze to some known space. and then! on my 25-jump journey "home" somebody else with red skull and bad attitude in 0,4 security system blew 1/2 of my shields off with one shot. I got away again! lucky. I think it has been enough excitement for this newb today. I will go mine something in some 0,8 or 0,9 zone and kill some pirates. very very Dwarf-Fortr-ish kind of fun! thank you. :)
I love the slight horror feeling of picking up an enemy ship on your directional scanner. I always think about if they saw me and know where I am. I think this might be the same feeling that submarines have when they spot something, you both can kill each other but you don't know if they see you
Exploration is fun and engaging -- and can lead to massive $$$...if you're willing to take a few risks! NOTE: This is the last of the four pre-recorded episodes, so I'm going to start trying to address comment questions in upcoming videos. Episode 5 should be all about Drones (which are AWESOME!)
How far are you going to take this series, Quill? There's potential for hundreds of episodes but nobody can blame you if you're not interested in doing even a fraction of that. I'm just curious as to how actively you're going to be playing/recording EVE (this time around).
@@lastresort1plays there are always plenty of corp's looking for new players. A lot of them will have a office in the starting huds so you just need to decide what you want to do in the game. Hope this helps :)
Is there a trick to finding these sites? I have been at several evenings and not found a single data or relic site. Lots of wormholes, a few combat sites, but no data or relics. I jump to locations that have lower traffic and still not much luck. Any suggestions?
I learned that the hard way, I lost more than 9 mill worth of stuff because my ship isn't good at combat, and repetitively not durable when 4 battleships want me dead in a non-security sector.
Hey i was looking for someone to guide me through out the game i am a beginner i know the basics nut there's just alot that i don't know if you wanna help me i would be thankful
Started EVE 3 days ago. Been spending most of my time reading guides and watching tutorials like this one. So far you are the one who better conveys information, in a easy to understand and concise way. So, today was my real first exploration trip after finishing the tutorials. Decided to be risky and enter a wormhole, taking into consideration all the tips you showed, since I could not find Data or Relic sites in safe secs. Just got back from the trip with 22m profit. Adrenaline high all the time. Thank you very much for your tutorials!
As someone who spent 11 years doing exploration, i firmly approve of this message! Dodging CODE gate camps and being chased for hours through null is always fun. Dipping in to lowsec just to taunt them in local
@@CortashGaming since like 2 years or something there are NO TIME LIMITS. u cant train certain skills (for game balance reasons since bots would destroy the game...) and only up to 5Million SP if im correct (although u can get up to 20M if u use alpha injectors).
The tutorial is interesting, but what I'd really like to see is a long term Let's Play that shows why I might want to play the free version or even invest in this game on a monthly basis.
Thank you for these videos! I've been lurking through EVE lore for years and finally decided to try playing it. This series has been invaluable for helping me learn the ropes and best practices to make the game enjoyable. Much appreciated :)
Been looking forward for this one and an hour long, you spoil us. Thank you for putting in the time and effort into making these. I am getting back into the game after years of being away :)
DUUUUDE! This was the BEST tutorial on exploration for me EVER! I am total noob in Eve, just started to play this game and wanted to do some scanning. And now I know how to do it properly. Thank you SO MUCH!
Hi Quill! Thanks for reminding me of Eve Online. I played it a lot back in 2010, when it wasn't f2p. After watching your tutorial, I reinstalled it and tried out the exploration. In the past, I mostly did mining, crafting and researching, so I didn't have a lot of experience in exploration. First day I got some 10 million ISK loot and got destroyed afterwards. Second day, I got 40 million and immediately warped away. Might have been luck that there was another player there and the NPCs targeted him instead. It was really exciting and I think I'll do more of that. I did have to buy some gametime for training skills, because I already have 9 million skill points xD
Last year I took a look at Eve. I went through all of the tutorials and careers and was left on my own. I sat there in space saying "now what I do"? So I quit. Picking up this game a year later then coming across your video. OMG! Your material has opened my eyes on how to play and has reseeded my desire to play. Thank you. Please make more!
He just jumped into a new WH and checks D-Scan: "The system is mostly empty, this is just I think a cargo container of some kind. Nothing to worry about". That "cargo container" was in fact a Fortizar. A player made structure indicating this WH is inhabited by a larger group :-D
I agree with @@stukya. Its not likely that its abandoned. And if you watch the vid you can actually see a lone Helios appearing. Another sign that its inhabited.
Does it means that your not allowed to scan down the signature there to get some little money? The most of them earn so much money that they don't even care about little alphas who are scanning data sites for money
Thanks a lot for making this series. I have tried multiple times to get into this game but never succeeded. Now I finally have the feeling I am getting to understand things. Thanks!
I wish I had seen this video several years ago. You cover the basics of exploration in EVE at an expert level for beginners while maintaining a cliffhanger for growth. If you want to get into EVE and explore with little money risk this is your guide. Looking forward to the follow up!
Never realized how important D-scan is, and today it saved my arse as I watched more and more combat probes showing up in an ever-smaller scan range -- once I saw all 8 under 5AU I started moving to warp just as a -10 jetted within a 1000m of me. If I hadn't seen the signs and started warping early I'd be a goner. Actively adjusting your range is a great way keep situational awareness
Where is part 2 of episode 3? Or was episode 3 only a tutorial on mining and not on the rest of the industry? In that case a missed opportunity in my opinion and a somewhat lame tutorial.
Please do more of eve! These tutorial episodes are like crack to me! And after the tutorials, depending on how many you will do, I would love to just watch you play on your main acc. Just record and upload it uncut since streaming is abit suicidal. Never played eve but always been fascinated. Watching you go through that wormhole, I could feel your nervousness and man its intoxicating ^^.
Thanks for this series. I actually got back into the game because of this! I didn’t realise how much I missed it. Had to start a new character but I don’t even mind much. Can’t wait to see what’s next. Also, as you were talking about ships being cheap, I remembered a bit of advice I heard somewhere, “only fly what you can afford to lose”. Like you said, it’s not necessarily the best idea to jump in the biggest baddest ship you can fly, especially if it’s super expensive.
Hey Quill, I have been playing EVE on and off for years and until watching this series I still felt like a noob. I am also obsessed with exploration and had gathered about 70% of the information you showed here but you explained a bunch of stuff I only half understood and several key things I didnt know! So big thank you and thanks for the great xmas gift haha. congrats on making the best tutorial for EVE on the galaxy! Denis
„Ooh baby, a data site!“ This has been, how can I say... eye-opening! During the career missions, figuring out how to actually use the probes to find the training sites was difficult enough (but still rewarding to figure out by myself). When scanning for anomalies later on, I didn’t know how to move the probes to increase that percentage. I assumed that my equipment or skills weren’t good enough. Seeing this video makes me very excited to try it again!
29:25 : "Covert research facility" (aka "ghost site") and "sleeper cache". Ghost sites can be done in a basic ship if you're fast enough and know the "triggers", for the sleeper caches, it's probably better to wait until you can pilot an exploration cruiser (Stratios or any T3) Also, the hacking difficulty doesn't depend on the site level, but on the can level (green, orange and red cores). The site level determines the proportion of easy and difficult cans.
thanks for this video, i've been worried about trying exploration as a new player and this video helped me tons. i'm starting to get a hang of it now and starting to make a little isk for myself!!
Rally good stuff - Subscribed and belled. Tried EOL a few years ago but ditched because I felt like I was never getting ahead. I knew then, like I know now, I was getting ganked for being too risky for my skills, ships, local company and gear. Thanks!
Followed your instructions after a whole lot of nothing, I jumped trough an unstable wormhole and hit the 38 Million jackpot in a "-0.1" zone. However, that was the first in about 30 Data sites that was not guarded by an bunch of sentries that will blow you out of space in seconds. I haven't met one other player ever in those sites, but they are (almost) all crawling with hardcore NPC's... Oh, and the listed price is never the sell price. You'd be lucky to get half of that.
Hey quill thanks for these vids. Never played this game before and highly enjoying it! In my first night I found myself in an invasion. You might want to talk about those! And also generally what kind of pvp stuff we should be looking out for in addition to that. (Even though i think my invasion was npc's). Oh and how it is being part of a real corp with other players. Thanks so much for all of the vids. It has been great! And find myself actually excited to play mmos!!! EDIT: also quill doing an actual lets play of this somehow would be wonderful!
Same here, was jumping to do some mining and when I came out I saw a bunch of yellow wrecks and red ships and then promptly died without a clue of what happened. Rookie chat helped me understand; which if you could talk about chat and other resources a player might need that would be helpful.
Just a quick correction on the capacitor part. when quill said it leaves your battery full thats not really what happens. Capacitor power (like shield btw) recharge on their own and they have a peak regen at 33% (when they are above or bellow this value they are not "max regening" (individual ship stats). when quill was stable it has a 34.3% next to it. This means your "battery" will stabiize at 34.3% (very close to peak regen). This is usefull because u now know that a module (that can be activated by other players or RATS (mostly on Wormholes) on you that anulls or drains power since both exist) will almost surely make you not be stable. note that beeing stable is great for pve tough . just wanted to add this here for correction of for any1 that wants to know more. :D and keep up the awsome content quill18! glad your helping bring in fresh blood :D
I have some experience with scanning and I have a few tips. First of, you should stay close to your exit point (a stargate or your entrance wormhole) so if anyone will warp to you (in low sec systems this means they want to destroy you 99% of the time) you will escape before they'll be able to do so. And secondly I found that while scanning you should lower the scanning area by two steps each time you get results (for example if you get result by scanning with 16 AU radius the next step would be 4 AU, then 1 and finally 0,25). If you fail to detect anything increase scanning area by one step (from 4 to 8 AU etc.). Good luck! :)
Quill, Thank you for this tut. You did a great job making me love this game. I am only a good pc away of completely enjoying it :D But anyhow, i really appreciate your work put in these tutorials!
So I got a new update. After following your guide and practicing, I finally took the plunge and went into a wormhole. I am now 90 million ISK Richer!! Thanks for the guide.
Thanks, I have not started playing the game yet, have seen it around for some time. I really am looking to get into this game. I play SWTOR, WOW, mass effect and such. I think this may be a nice break to reset my gaming time. Again, thanks for the help and the work you put into these tutorial
I am really enjoying your series. You have a way of making it interesting and fun. I got this game about 4 years ago, played for about 20 hours, got bored and uninstalled it. I thought I would give it another try. Been doing some exploration (just high-sec for now - not going anywhere crazy since I only have about 2 mil. isk). Anyway, I have explored about 4 hours, scanned about a hundred signatures, and have found nothing but worm holes and combat sites. Yet to find anything else. Once I can earn some more isk, maybe I will give a wormhole a try. But like the first time I played, I find I am starting to get bored since I am not finding anything. I have much more fun in Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen. At least with 4 hours of work, I have something to show for it in those games.
12:25 beign capstable doesn't mean you will have a full battery, you'll be capstable at a certain level, because cap regen isn't linear : there is a peak at about 25% (iirc), and then it slowly decreases. The cap stability level is shown when you hover the cap icon in the fitting screen.
If you plan on turning this into a longer term project, a good ultimate goal could be showing off how to effectively earn your first PLEX, and some good first steps as an Omega, when you start bumping into the limits of Alpha.
@@DecidelyUnethical Even still, some tips for first steps as an Omega would be nice, maybe showing how to earn the PLEX in Omega so you only have to P2P once.
It's a little silly that the wormhole you came in isn't automatically added to your contacts list. I mean, you were right there. Why doesn't your ship remember it for you? Having to re-scan for it feels even sillier.
bookmark both sides of the wormhole you scan down the text it gives you on discovery tells you the approximate duration of the entry wormhole ,, think of wormholes as intersecting gate-less solar systems. any w-space you enter has one or more wormholes out ,, the way you came in is one, the others that you scan down can lead to > low security space > null security space > a different high security space system than the one you entered from > other wormhole systems
An assumption that forced me to self-destruct my pod the other day when hostile drones one-shotted my ship at the data site I found and I had no way to scan down the wormhole I came in through.
Man i wish i could forget everything i know about eve and start again. the beginning brought me so much joy EDIT: Also what is the intention of these tutorials? Is quill going to create a corp? :P
2 things I would like to see in future EVE videos. Quill does more exploration sites. And some new people might want to see an Epic Arc mission (could be a few episodes worth)
You can second click in space to get all orbitals/bookmarks and other stuff to warp. You don´t actually need to go into people and places other then to organize bookmarks and whatnot. Edit: while exploring in low/null sec a bookmark 150 km from gates (if you have the chance to do it, no enemioes in d-scan i.e.). Like that you can warp to the bookmark to check if gate is safe. If it is you can warp from the bookmark directly to the gate. Minimum warp distance is 150 km (or used to be). Also 49:23...i love you Quill but you freaking Cherry Picker. Never leave one or 2 containers like that bcuz of spawns.
I now feel very prepared to play. Im new, when I log on I (used to) feel so confused. Understanding that there is a rookie help chat, I feel annoying when I have to keep posting questions in the chat. I said all of that to say...thank you!
After months of not playing Eve, I returned to the exploration that I was so fond of when I quit. My first site (lvl 1 data) I got 34 million credits. That's why we play this game.
Also i love how half a mil is cool to you :D Newbean in a venture, first day, mining in null -> cool 50m an hour done right. Or explo for more, when lucky.
One of the best Eve guides so far. One suggestion, i do hate the inventory window layout you have, why don't you change to icons display? It's way more easier and understandable while watching it on youtube. The settings are on top right of the inventory window.
Good explained, im an alpha explorer and made Al my money to get Omega by scanning in 0. Had to watch thousands of videos to get the infos I've needet to scan properly in 0, if I'm looking back this video contains everything you need to know from Savespots to getting to places where is good loot. The only thing wats missing is the rule of 7 on the hacking game.
You could do the Sisters of Eve Epic Arc next and dive a bit more into ship fitting while doing it, e.g. why its bad to mix short and longrange weapons or use armor and shield modules on the same ship.
Thank you for your amazing guides. This one really got me to try the game. This is my journey so far after my first day. I completed the exploration career agent. I then decided to take my Heron i received, decked it out (staying within being able to buy everything back if i died) and began an adventure. I've been through 10 systems, some high sec some mid sec, and 3 worm holes. I found one valuable site within this time. It was a Data site, and I got EXCITED!! I went in at 100km and there were patrols guarding it. I then decided to go all in and use my guns, with in 4 second i was les then 20% health left and already spamming to warp out to my staging bookmark. I barely made it out, I then retreated back to the previous system and docked for repairs. It was then time to log off because its like SUPER late, or early, how every you see it lol. Even though i received no loot, and almost died, this was amazing!! I think after years of being intimidated by the learning curve, I may finally be getting into the game, like really into it. Thank you for the amazing guides, without them I may of never had this first of many adventures.
20:07 -- 'out' is relative; I realize it's a bit of a complex topic for a tutorial, but to provide some additional information.. (disclaimer: this may be a bit out of date..) Wormhole systems have levels. It's entirely possible for a wormhole you came through from hisec to close behind you and for the only remaining ones to go even deeper into more dangerous w-space. There will always be a path out of w-space, but it might require quite a lot of hunting through some dangerous areas to find. Always bookmark wormholes on both sides with useful names (there are websites where you can look up w-space system names that will tell you how dangerous they are), and always scan down all the wormholes in a system before you do anything else. Know the exits and keep them well-marked when (not if) you have to GTFO.
Thanks for the series, please organise a public fleet so we can die in a glorious blob. Also, basic solo skills is good, but showing us that the community side of EVE is the most exciting is probably better. And it doesn't need to be huge battles : you actually have far more fun in small and mid-scale engagements than in TiDi slugfests between powerblocs. I'm sure there are plenty of corps that would be willng to show you PvP and let you join their fleets/gangs, and showing that would be awesome. It's amusing for an EVE player to see you in this very special universe with all your canadian and positive attitude (c'est mignon), and it's true that a lot of peaople play the game that way and don't care about the clash of titans in nullsec or whatever. Still some approximations or confusions in what you're saying, but EVE is confusing, sometinmes. For example, watch Jin'taan series on different weapons types and the formulas involved to understand that you need to learn to take a lot of element into account if you want to "succeed" in the game
sorry . . a big jump from addressing the Market, while fitting out a Venture at the end of Episode 3, to now .. and now you've completed both the Industrial and Exploration Career Agent missions?? .. one or two of the signatures in your home system might be real ( combat or exploration ) .. as there is a command to recover probes -- I don't think recovery is automatic. and it's better to take 16 probes. the Probe Launcher will autoload from the cargo hold while you retrieve the ones you have been using to scan the system you're in
Thank you for these tutorials. I almost dumped this game because the learning curve/time investment seems well beyond worthwhile for me. Your help has brought the game play more into focus for me. I wanted to thank you because now I realize the game play can be learned easier with far less time investment and if had trashed this beautiful game it would have been a mistake.
The first time I ever entered wormhole space, I did so in a Tengu Strategic Cruiser (Tech level 3). I encountered some Sleepers and dealt with them. Then I noticed another player warp within about 100 km of me. I have no idea whether they were friendly or not, as I mashed that warp button as quickly as possible (I was already aligned to a safe spot). Sure, I lost my drones and probably a few million ISK worth of loot, but there was no way I was going to risk such an expensive ship. Back then I had more ISK than brains. All future excursions into wormhole space were made either in a frigate, or a Covert Ops frigate (still expensive, but nowhere near as expensive as a Strategic Cruiser).
Hey Quill, did you leave out some buying and selling info. from episode 3 that was cut short do to a utilities failure. That was/is very important to my present situation, as i'm out of ammo and for some weird reason can't obtain it. Maybe i missed it but i failed to catch the buying and selling phase of your tutorial. ... Specifically .... I ran out of light blaster ammo and need to buy some. However; somehow, i blew isk on light blaster hardware but didn't receive it and still haven't any ammo. how do i fix this? i have spent literally hours trying to complete this task. any help is appreciated. i am new to the game and have not finished the first set of quest'. thanks to anyone with info.
Power grid has nothing to do with modules being activated or not, its just a limitation on what you fit. The "power" in the name is nothing to do with the "power" in your capacitor, which you use and recharge to activate stuff.
Anyone notice the ship enter the wormhole at around the 50:40 minute mark?! Popped up secnod from the top at 13km's on grid. I miss eve. Im getting the itch again from watching these tutorials. Think Quill ninja'd it :D
tip for hacking, when your clearing nodes go down the middle if you can rather than the sides wher eyou get 6 other nodes around you there will never be a bad node there unless the core is next to it so its a good way to clear them quickly
I’m only at 21:23 but I just have to ask... y are you not doing dscans for potential gankers? I’m assuming that it’s because ur in hsec and security is close by... but shouldn’t u mention this as well? Specially when u go down the rabbit hole of losec and null? But maybe u mention it in the later part of video
@@snafu2350 I know why it was cut short. The pinned comment only says they were prerecorded not covering the rest of the Mining Video. Even if they were prerecorded he should have finished that video with a part 2 before moving on. I mean it is a Tutorial Series after all. There is a lot more to cover in that one.
Late to the party, but these tutorials are really helpful so I'm very grateful for them, I do have a question regarding something in this particular video though. At 27:50 you get a Data Site ping, and you immediately know it's a level 3 Data site. How does did you know that? Does the game tell you this somehow? /nvm I just saw it on the screen lol :)
hey i am a new player to EVE and stumbled on your great tutorial. i was following it through and enjoying it but then on EP 3 you had to cut short due to a power cut you had and you was just on the prosses of showing about mining but it ended. then you came back on EP4 with exploration ? im thinking what happend to mining and now im stuck trying to figure it out myself :( i will sort it out but your tutorial playthrough realy was helping me understand things. have you given up on eve now ? please let me know because i would love to follow along your eve EP's hopefully you will continue.
I would have uninstalled this game in the first 4 hours of playing if not for you. Thank you so much for these videos so I can properly learn and enjoy this game :)

You just made my day LMAO
Well he's right, the rushes of adrenaline in this game are outstanding. Not that often though^^
Welcome to EVE.
so dear Quill. because of you this is my 4th day in this game. everybody talks how easy and fun and lucrative exploring is. I decided to try it out.
today I almost got stuck in a wormhole of a wormhole of a wormhole.... of! a wormhole. no ruins or data things in sight. somebody tried to kill me but was surprised that I got away so started conversation and helped me get out of the maze to some known space. and then! on my 25-jump journey "home" somebody else with red skull and bad attitude in 0,4 security system blew 1/2 of my shields off with one shot. I got away again! lucky.
I think it has been enough excitement for this newb today. I will go mine something in some 0,8 or 0,9 zone and kill some pirates.

Sounds awsome, I will join the game in a few weeks, and after I'm done watching this tutorial series.
Thats crazy! Nice of the guy to help you out
Nice:) . My pc is trash btw:/

Pro tip: while scanning non-HighSec system stay alligned to your exit point to be able to enter warp ASAP
Good thinking!
also in null sec alway warp to 50 km from a random moon so if you have to bail youre not in a known gate to gate warp arrival to avoid bubbles !
I learned that the hard way, I lost more than 9 mill worth of stuff because my ship isn't good at combat, and repetitively not durable when 4 battleships want me dead in a non-security sector.
Pro Tip 2.0: turn off your microwarp drive once you arrive, if you have no capacitor left you cant warp away if you get engaged :P

You still can manually position your probes (and sometimes actually have to!). And of course you can lose them forever if want to. :)

Hi Quill! Thanks for reminding me of Eve Online. I played it a lot back in 2010, when it wasn't f2p. After watching your tutorial, I reinstalled it and tried out the exploration. In the past, I mostly did mining, crafting and researching, so I didn't have a lot of experience in exploration. First day I got some 10 million ISK loot and got destroyed afterwards. Second day, I got 40 million and immediately warped away. Might have been luck that there was another player there and the NPCs targeted him instead. It was really exciting and I think I'll do more of that. I did have to buy some gametime for training skills, because I already have 9 million skill points xD
Last year I took a look at Eve. I went through all of the tutorials and careers and was left on my own. I sat there in space saying "now what I do"? So I quit.

He just jumped into a new WH and checks D-Scan:
"The system is mostly empty, this is just I think a cargo container of some kind. Nothing to worry about".
That "cargo container" was in fact a Fortizar. A player made structure indicating this WH is inhabited by a larger group :-D
A group that has a structure big enough for capital ships
cant it be long abandoned or unused tho?
@@madthundercat thats a 40 bil isk structure. Prob not abandoned
I agree with @@stukya. Its not likely that its abandoned. And if you watch the vid you can actually see a lone Helios appearing. Another sign that its inhabited.
Does it means that your not allowed to scan down the signature there to get some little money? The most of them earn so much money that they don't even care about little alphas who are scanning data sites for money
Thanks a lot for making this series. I have tried multiple times to get into this game but never succeeded. Now I finally have the feeling I am getting to understand things. Thanks!
Your "People & Places" bookmark tab was insanely helpful. Travel is so much easier now!
I wish I had seen this video several years ago. You cover the basics of exploration in EVE at an expert level for beginners while maintaining a cliffhanger for growth. If you want to get into EVE and explore with little money risk this is your guide. Looking forward to the follow up!
Never realized how important D-scan is, and today it saved my arse as I watched more and more combat probes showing up in an ever-smaller scan range -- once I saw all 8 under 5AU I started moving to warp just as a -10 jetted within a 1000m of me. If I hadn't seen the signs and started warping early I'd be a goner. Actively adjusting your range is a great way keep situational awareness
"Just a cargo container" -> its a fort, someone lives here
Living in a box, living in a cardboard box...
i lol'd when he said that after being labeled a Fortizar XD
Where is part 2 of episode 3? Or was episode 3 only a tutorial on mining and not on the rest of the industry? In that case a missed opportunity in my opinion and a somewhat lame tutorial.
Please do more of eve! These tutorial episodes are like crack to me! And after the tutorials, depending on how many you will do, I would love to just watch you play on your main acc. Just record and upload it uncut since streaming is abit suicidal. Never played eve but always been fascinated. Watching you go through that wormhole, I could feel your nervousness and man its intoxicating ^^.
Thanks for this series. I actually got back into the game because of this! I didn’t realise how much I missed it. Had to start a new character but I don’t even mind much. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
Also, as you were talking about ships being cheap, I remembered a bit of advice I heard somewhere, “only fly what you can afford to lose”. Like you said, it’s not necessarily the best idea to jump in the biggest baddest ship you can fly, especially if it’s super expensive.
Loving this series Quill! I was always interested in Eve but had no clue where to start.
I learned so much off this brother, ty. Your communication and speed is perfect.
Hey Quill, I have been playing EVE on and off for years and until watching this series I still felt like a noob. I am also obsessed with exploration and had gathered about 70% of the information you showed here but you explained a bunch of stuff I only half understood and several key things I didnt know! So big thank you and thanks for the great xmas gift haha. congrats on making the best tutorial for EVE on the galaxy! Denis
„Ooh baby, a data site!“
This has been, how can I say... eye-opening! During the career missions, figuring out how to actually use the probes to find the training sites was difficult enough (but still rewarding to figure out by myself). When scanning for anomalies later on, I didn’t know how to move the probes to increase that percentage. I assumed that my equipment or skills weren’t good enough. Seeing this video makes me very excited to try it again!
29:25 : "Covert research facility" (aka "ghost site") and "sleeper cache". Ghost sites can be done in a basic ship if you're fast enough and know the "triggers", for the sleeper caches, it's probably better to wait until you can pilot an exploration cruiser (Stratios or any T3)
Also, the hacking difficulty doesn't depend on the site level, but on the can level (green, orange and red cores). The site level determines the proportion of easy and difficult cans.
I just made 20+ mill on my 1st run in exploration through a wormhole, thanks my dude for the tips!
Quill be like on a cooking show and is all "i have prepared this ship ahead of time..."
thanks for this video, i've been worried about trying exploration as a new player and this video helped me tons. i'm starting to get a hang of it now and starting to make a little isk for myself!!
WOO! been waiting all morning for this!
Excellent tutorial, thanks! Learned a lot about Eve beyond just exploration.
Rally good stuff - Subscribed and belled. Tried EOL a few years ago but ditched because I felt like I was never getting ahead. I knew then, like I know now, I was getting ganked for being too risky for my skills, ships, local company and gear. Thanks!
Followed your instructions after a whole lot of nothing, I jumped trough an unstable wormhole and hit the 38 Million jackpot in a "-0.1" zone. However, that was the first in about 30 Data sites that was not guarded by an bunch of sentries that will blow you out of space in seconds. I haven't met one other player ever in those sites, but they are (almost) all crawling with hardcore NPC's... Oh, and the listed price is never the sell price. You'd be lucky to get half of that.
2:44 Ah yes, the expiration ship, my favorite :P
Hey quill thanks for these vids. Never played this game before and highly enjoying it! In my first night I found myself in an invasion. You might want to talk about those! And also generally what kind of pvp stuff we should be looking out for in addition to that. (Even though i think my invasion was npc's). Oh and how it is being part of a real corp with other players.
Thanks so much for all of the vids. It has been great! And find myself actually excited to play mmos!!!
EDIT: also quill doing an actual lets play of this somehow would be wonderful!
Same here, was jumping to do some mining and when I came out I saw a bunch of yellow wrecks and red ships and then promptly died without a clue of what happened. Rookie chat helped me understand; which if you could talk about chat and other resources a player might need that would be helpful.
Just a quick correction on the capacitor part. when quill said it leaves your battery full thats not really what happens. Capacitor power (like shield btw) recharge on their own and they have a peak regen at 33% (when they are above or bellow this value they are not "max regening" (individual ship stats). when quill was stable it has a 34.3% next to it. This means your "battery" will stabiize at 34.3% (very close to peak regen). This is usefull because u now know that a module (that can be activated by other players or RATS (mostly on Wormholes) on you that anulls or drains power since both exist) will almost surely make you not be stable.
note that beeing stable is great for pve tough . just wanted to add this here for correction of for any1 that wants to know more. :D
and keep up the awsome content quill18! glad your helping bring in fresh blood :D
I have some experience with scanning and I have a few tips. First of, you should stay close to your exit point (a stargate or your entrance wormhole) so if anyone will warp to you (in low sec systems this means they want to destroy you 99% of the time) you will escape before they'll be able to do so.
And secondly I found that while scanning you should lower the scanning area by two steps each time you get results (for example if you get result by scanning with 16 AU radius the next step would be 4 AU, then 1 and finally 0,25). If you fail to detect anything increase scanning area by one step (from 4 to 8 AU etc.). Good luck! :)
Quill, Thank you for this tut. You did a great job making me love this game. I am only a good pc away of completely enjoying it :D But anyhow, i really appreciate your work put in these tutorials!
Oh! The memories .. been on and off ever since 2009 ...
So I got a new update. After following your guide and practicing, I finally took the plunge and went into a wormhole. I am now 90 million ISK Richer!! Thanks for the guide.
Thanks, I have not started playing the game yet, have seen it around for some time. I really am looking to get into this game. I play SWTOR, WOW, mass effect and such. I think this may be a nice break to reset my gaming time.
Again, thanks for the help and the work you put into these tutorial
You're videos have helped tremendously. Great job! Thank you for your hard work.
Incredible video man... I've been blown up twice in invaded space trying to push my luck because "reasons". THANK YOU!
I am really enjoying your series. You have a way of making it interesting and fun. I got this game about 4 years ago, played for about 20 hours, got bored and uninstalled it. I thought I would give it another try. Been doing some exploration (just high-sec for now - not going anywhere crazy since I only have about 2 mil. isk). Anyway, I have explored about 4 hours, scanned about a hundred signatures, and have found nothing but worm holes and combat sites. Yet to find anything else. Once I can earn some more isk, maybe I will give a wormhole a try. But like the first time I played, I find I am starting to get bored since I am not finding anything. I have much more fun in Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen. At least with 4 hours of work, I have something to show for it in those games.
love this guide i just started playing eve and this has made it alot less scary there is so much to learn
Two words loved it, thanks, deserves subs
Ty this is very helpful
update: lmao, even with the comprehensive explanations, i seems like i have learned nothing
12:25 beign capstable doesn't mean you will have a full battery, you'll be capstable at a certain level, because cap regen isn't linear : there is a peak at about 25% (iirc), and then it slowly decreases. The cap stability level is shown when you hover the cap icon in the fitting screen.
Peak regen is 1/3 of maximum exactly, so 33.33% repeating
If you plan on turning this into a longer term project, a good ultimate goal could be showing off how to effectively earn your first PLEX, and some good first steps as an Omega, when you start bumping into the limits of Alpha.
Except PLEX is running at around 1.7bn per 500 right now, which is an absolute chore to farm.
@@DecidelyUnethical Even still, some tips for first steps as an Omega would be nice, maybe showing how to earn the PLEX in Omega so you only have to P2P once.
It's a little silly that the wormhole you came in isn't automatically added to your contacts list. I mean, you were right there. Why doesn't your ship remember it for you?
Having to re-scan for it feels even sillier.
bookmark both sides of the wormhole you scan down
the text it gives you on discovery tells you the approximate duration of the entry wormhole
,, think of wormholes as intersecting gate-less solar systems. any w-space you enter has one or more wormholes out
,, the way you came in is one, the others that you scan down can lead to
> low security space
> null security space
> a different high security space system than the one you entered from
> other wormhole systems
An assumption that forced me to self-destruct my pod the other day when hostile drones one-shotted my ship at the data site I found and I had no way to scan down the wormhole I came in through.
Man i wish i could forget everything i know about eve and start again. the beginning brought me so much joy
EDIT: Also what is the intention of these tutorials? Is quill going to create a corp? :P
He already has one on his other character: Quill Eighteen / Whisky and Chocolate Foundation
i stopped playing :( i bought a great clone but stopped playing ... i bought ALDAP ... and hes not flying anymore :'(
thanks for these tut's - learning heaps and have only just started playing
2 things I would like to see in future EVE videos. Quill does more exploration sites. And some new people might want to see an Epic Arc mission (could be a few episodes worth)
Wonderful video as always Quill! Fantastic entertainment and information. I started playing Eve because of this!
You can second click in space to get all orbitals/bookmarks and other stuff to warp. You don´t actually need to go into people and places other then to organize bookmarks and whatnot. Edit: while exploring in low/null sec a bookmark 150 km from gates (if you have the chance to do it, no enemioes in d-scan i.e.). Like that you can warp to the bookmark to check if gate is safe. If it is you can warp from the bookmark directly to the gate. Minimum warp distance is 150 km (or used to be). Also 49:23...i love you Quill but you freaking Cherry Picker. Never leave one or 2 containers like that bcuz of spawns.
I now feel very prepared to play. Im new, when I log on I (used to) feel so confused. Understanding that there is a rookie help chat, I feel annoying when I have to keep posting questions in the chat. I said all of that to say...thank you!
After months of not playing Eve, I returned to the exploration that I was so fond of when I quit. My first site (lvl 1 data) I got 34 million credits. That's why we play this game.
Also i love how half a mil is cool to you :D
Newbean in a venture, first day, mining in null -> cool 50m an hour done right.
Or explo for more, when lucky.
I guess you commented before end of video... He got 9 mil out of that.
@@JCrook1028I don't think he was interested in helping Quill, or giving anyone else advice. I just think he wanted to show off.
One of the best Eve guides so far.
One suggestion, i do hate the inventory window layout you have, why don't you change to icons display? It's way more easier and understandable while watching it on youtube. The settings are on top right of the inventory window.
I love exploration! I managed to get over 60 million ISK from my first relic site in wormhole space!
Industry including trading! Faction Warfare to catch the pvp people. And give us some longterm stuff. Big goals to aim for
You went through the hack procedure so fast, I had no idea what you were doing.
Good explained, im an alpha explorer and made Al my money to get Omega by scanning in 0. Had to watch thousands of videos to get the infos I've needet to scan properly in 0, if I'm looking back this video contains everything you need to know from Savespots to getting to places where is good loot. The only thing wats missing is the rule of 7 on the hacking game.
Soo.... Hey..... What's the rule of 7 you were talking about?
Ive been enjoying your guides. Thanks
You could do the Sisters of Eve Epic Arc next and dive a bit more into ship fitting while doing it, e.g. why its bad to mix short and longrange weapons or use armor and shield modules on the same ship.
Thank you for your amazing guides. This one really got me to try the game. This is my journey so far after my first day. I completed the exploration career agent. I then decided to take my Heron i received, decked it out (staying within being able to buy everything back if i died) and began an adventure. I've been through 10 systems, some high sec some mid sec, and 3 worm holes. I found one valuable site within this time. It was a Data site, and I got EXCITED!! I went in at 100km and there were patrols guarding it. I then decided to go all in and use my guns, with in 4 second i was les then 20% health left and already spamming to warp out to my staging bookmark. I barely made it out, I then retreated back to the previous system and docked for repairs. It was then time to log off because its like SUPER late, or early, how every you see it lol.
Even though i received no loot, and almost died, this was amazing!! I think after years of being intimidated by the learning curve, I may finally be getting into the game, like really into it. Thank you for the amazing guides, without them I may of never had this first of many adventures.
20:07 -- 'out' is relative; I realize it's a bit of a complex topic for a tutorial, but to provide some additional information.. (disclaimer: this may be a bit out of date..)
Wormhole systems have levels. It's entirely possible for a wormhole you came through from hisec to close behind you and for the only remaining ones to go even deeper into more dangerous w-space. There will always be a path out of w-space, but it might require quite a lot of hunting through some dangerous areas to find. Always bookmark wormholes on both sides with useful names (there are websites where you can look up w-space system names that will tell you how dangerous they are), and always scan down all the wormholes in a system before you do anything else. Know the exits and keep them well-marked when (not if) you have to GTFO.
guess it's time to reactivate my character....great tutorial series. Hope you resurrect that zapped miner episode.
Quill: you wanna check out the wormhole?
me: yeth!
Quill: just real quick?
me: yeth .-.
Thanks for the series, please organise a public fleet so we can die in a glorious blob. Also, basic solo skills is good, but showing us that the community side of EVE is the most exciting is probably better. And it doesn't need to be huge battles : you actually have far more fun in small and mid-scale engagements than in TiDi slugfests between powerblocs. I'm sure there are plenty of corps that would be willng to show you PvP and let you join their fleets/gangs, and showing that would be awesome.
It's amusing for an EVE player to see you in this very special universe with all your canadian and positive attitude (c'est mignon), and it's true that a lot of peaople play the game that way and don't care about the clash of titans in nullsec or whatever. Still some approximations or confusions in what you're saying, but EVE is confusing, sometinmes. For example, watch Jin'taan series on different weapons types and the formulas involved to understand that you need to learn to take a lot of element into account if you want to "succeed" in the game
I Love your eve videos quill i hope you continue this series and maybe start new series on your eve career
wh exploration with 2m imicus fits kickstarted my eve career. learn how to scan/survive in a wh and great loot with almost no risk. great stuff
49:33 I believe this is what the kids call a "Mom's spaghetti" moment! ;)
20:50 If you get this kind of "double reading", it's generally the one that is further from your probes.
Thank you so much, this tutorial has helped me so much.
sorry . . a big jump from addressing the Market, while fitting out a Venture at the end of Episode 3, to now
.. and now you've completed both the Industrial and Exploration Career Agent missions??
.. one or two of the signatures in your home system might be real ( combat or exploration )
.. as there is a command to recover probes -- I don't think recovery is automatic. and it's better to take 16 probes. the Probe Launcher will autoload from the cargo hold while you retrieve the ones you have been using to scan the system you're in
trying to get back into EO this was helpfull
"Milliways" is the name of the Restaurant At The End Of The Universe (Hitch-Hikers Guide To The Galaxy) :)
Yes! Why not go there and see what the today's special is?
Thank you for these tutorials.
I almost dumped this game because the learning curve/time investment seems well beyond worthwhile for me. Your help has brought the game play more into focus for me. I wanted to thank you because now I realize the game play can be learned easier with far less time investment and if had trashed this beautiful game it would have been a mistake.
Hey! You know what would be awesome? A Brussels Corp! Would totally start playing Eve again to help with something like that.
Isn't that a city in France?
where is episode 3.5? was looking forward to the rest of the mining thing but your video cut short with power outage :(
The first time I ever entered wormhole space, I did so in a Tengu Strategic Cruiser (Tech level 3). I encountered some Sleepers and dealt with them. Then I noticed another player warp within about 100 km of me. I have no idea whether they were friendly or not, as I mashed that warp button as quickly as possible (I was already aligned to a safe spot). Sure, I lost my drones and probably a few million ISK worth of loot, but there was no way I was going to risk such an expensive ship. Back then I had more ISK than brains. All future excursions into wormhole space were made either in a frigate, or a Covert Ops frigate (still expensive, but nowhere near as expensive as a Strategic Cruiser).
Thanks Quill, enjoying these vids mate.
Hey Quill, did you leave out some buying and selling info. from episode 3 that was cut short do to a utilities failure. That was/is very important to my present situation, as i'm out of ammo and for some weird reason can't obtain it. Maybe i missed it but i failed to catch the buying and selling phase of your tutorial.
... Specifically .... I ran out of light blaster ammo and need to buy some. However; somehow, i blew isk on light blaster hardware but didn't receive it and still haven't any ammo.
how do i fix this? i have spent literally hours trying to complete this task. any help is appreciated. i am new to the game and have not finished the first set of quest'. thanks to anyone with info.
Power grid has nothing to do with modules being activated or not, its just a limitation on what you fit.
The "power" in the name is nothing to do with the "power" in your capacitor, which you use and recharge to activate stuff.
I know its like, how does he not know that?
Anyone notice the ship enter the wormhole at around the 50:40 minute mark?! Popped up secnod from the top at 13km's on grid. I miss eve. Im getting the itch again from watching these tutorials. Think Quill ninja'd it :D
Man you are amaaaaaazing!🔥🔥🔥🔥
tip for hacking, when your clearing nodes go down the middle if you can rather than the sides wher eyou get 6 other nodes around you there will never be a bad node there unless the core is next to it so its a good way to clear them quickly
Just awesome content, as always.
I’m only at 21:23 but I just have to ask... y are you not doing dscans for potential gankers? I’m assuming that it’s because ur in hsec and security is close by... but shouldn’t u mention this as well? Specially when u go down the rabbit hole of losec and null? But maybe u mention it in the later part of video
I must be missing some. Last episode ended with you doing fittings on your mining ship. You didn't finish the thing...?
Power outage cut the ep short; the finishing up is covered in his pinned comment
@@snafu2350 I know why it was cut short. The pinned comment only says they were prerecorded not covering the rest of the Mining Video. Even if they were prerecorded he should have finished that video with a part 2 before moving on. I mean it is a Tutorial Series after all. There is a lot more to cover in that one.
Yea he skipped the crafting section entirely.
@@JCrook1028 crafting and hauling are major money makers.
@@Magziesfuntime Yep, I have no clue why he skipped thru almost the entirety of the industry tutorial.
Excellent! More next steps please.
Late to the party, but these tutorials are really helpful so I'm very grateful for them, I do have a question regarding something in this particular video though. At 27:50 you get a Data Site ping, and you immediately know it's a level 3 Data site. How does did you know that? Does the game tell you this somehow?
/nvm I just saw it on the screen lol :)
hey i am a new player to EVE and stumbled on your great tutorial. i was following it through and enjoying it but then on EP 3 you had to cut short due to a power cut you had and you was just on the prosses of showing about mining but it ended. then you came back on EP4 with exploration ? im thinking what happend to mining and now im stuck trying to figure it out myself :( i will sort it out but your tutorial playthrough realy was helping me understand things. have you given up on eve now ? please let me know because i would love to follow along your eve EP's hopefully you will continue.
I would have uninstalled this game in the first 4 hours of playing if not for you. Thank you so much for these videos so I can properly learn and enjoy this game :)
great content drill were ya been all my life 😉
Dude you talk so fast...this has helped alot. Im no experienced gamer , so ill actually be able to play this.
