Warbasno Hendar in game. Thanks for this; I kept wondering how people were seeing the capsules on dscan - sure enough, irregular capsule was not clicked! I have reset my D-Scan to the space bar so it's easy, and I have found that clicking on a celestial and simply hitting space will both center on the celestial and then scan. Saves a key stroke.

jest goty back into eve and doing this eggs hunt is fun ive gotten a few the 1st day and i have used d scan but i forgot how to use it and you jest tout me something useful i was doing it the hard way using d scan locked it at 360 and warping everywhere lol thank you for the video
Clear and concise as usual now I can do the all the rooms. Love your attitude to the game and can sympathise with recovering process post party as an older chap. IGN: Urram
Thank you for making these videos Da Dex. When I was very new to EVE it helped to watch videos made by someone who knew their stuff. The Hunt is a great event and I think I will be looking out for those pods. IGN: Jamal Enzo
I run the event semi-afk in a retribution and fire away with conflag because for some reason these rats love to orbit at conflag optimal. I had a lot of fun roaming around black rise for the mysterious capsules (including getting a golden one which dropped 100m) then doing the sites to cash out around 500-600m of loot from the sites + 200-300m of gecko bpcs. Overall a very nice profitable event and I get to use my favorite assault frigate.
Ok, I've done a few more sites now, and drops varies a lot!. Got up to 13th Overseer personal effect from the Jackdaw (13mil) the best drop was a Dread Guristas Light Missile Launcher, which I may keep for a T2 abyss Garmur or Hawk, if I can find 2 more :)
Got a dozen key so far, but only ran 4 sites (in a Corax, works well). For a better chance to find the mysterious capsules... get out of Caldari high-sec space (or at least avoid crowded areas. I spent almost 1 hour in Lonetrek with an alt and couldn't find any, logged off, came back a few hours later and found one in about 20 minutes. On my main, flying in Minmatar and Amarr space currently, I'll see a capsule on d-scan in every other systems, and sometimes 2 in a system, or a new one will spawn somewhere in the system right after I kill one. I don't always go after the capsules though, as I'm running missions for standings and setting up my bases of operations in all 4 empire spaces. Loot wise, I only got the overseer effect, sometimes with fireworks and some cheap modules, averageing about 3-4 millions. So I would not run the sites for the ISK, but I'll definitely do more sites in the coming days to practice with more active fitted ships in these type of event sites. IGN: Vadania Danann
And when I hunt the capsules, I also like to narrow it down to the exact AU, especially if there is a lot of planets and moons. Say I find one between 5 and 10 at 360 degree, I'll try 9, 8, 7... untill I don't see it, so I know I have to scan at 5 degree angle that specific AU range where it start to show up. Then warp to the closest object where I see the capsules, set the d-scan to 1 AU and work it from there.
I'm a FW pilot but in this event I'm doing the exploration sites, a whole lot less risk and also I've not done a whole heap of exploration but always wanted to. This even I find is a really good intro for exploration. -Tanzubbora Adran Quzx'pon (in game name)
Took me almost 8 minutes into the video before the word "Incursus" registered. Up to that point I kept thinking... my Enyo runs them completely uneventfully, and has plenty of DPS. For those here who have difficulty finding capsules/keys (and feel like taking a risk) try low sec. I spend more and more time in low sec lately, and it's common to find two or even three capsules in a system. I have a FW alt and have been collecting them between sites/fights.
It actually is possible to go around the c-click+v. If you hold down v and then click on a signature or a celestial body it does the exact same. I myself didn’t do to much hunting. I was wondering why the capsules didn’t show up on d-Scan. Thanks to your help I know why 😊
I’m using a kiki in highsec and finding a lot more keys than sites. Not had anything decent off the first room yet, usually 3-4m of overseer effects. I’m up over a bill out of about 7-8 sites - best drops so far are a 5% drone sharpshooter implant and some accelerators and skins etc. Looks like I’ll have to sit on most of it til the prices recover though.
The process in the Hunt is going well. At the moment the skins are nearly all mine and I'll doing a mix of combat and exploration. Exploration results in me running 2 sites before dropping off my loot. For combat, my trusty Worm does the job and it's all in Gurista theme! IGN : Dianera Dragosha
Hello Dad , lol...I'm just getting back into EVE after quite some time away and it's ur videos that are helping . I like the D-scanning portions since it forces me to relearn how to use it which of course can only help me in-game in the long run . Finding keys is now my thing . The combat site is...WOW not used to that , not as cool-headed as u (Lost 2 ships in there ). Ok , on to data sites .... IGN Colonel Canuck
Last year my favourite ship for the combat sites was the Worm. Merely dropping the drones would work and missiles only required if you want to speed up the process. This year there are plenty of NPCs focusing on these drones. This makes it all challenging for me. IGN - Spectralspectre

Pls keep posting. Your making me a better player. IGN: Airistin Northgate
I can't wait to see what dessie you end up running these sites in. I'm trying to find a way to get one of my low sec thrashers to run the site without too many worries and without needing too fill my cargo hold with cap boosters, because it is really annoying having to jettison loot. So far I've gotten 5 keys while flying around running escalations. IGN: Tension Travis
Just got back into Eve after a break, thought I would check out a video about the new sites before going to run some, thanks for making it. IGN: Harper Aideron
I have been finding 6-7 keys for every Hunt site, went out this morning with 2 keys, came back with 15 and only found 2 Hunt data sites. Not sure if CCP have cut the number, or there are just so many people looking. Also, the loot in hisec has been VERY poor, only around 6 mill average, with no drops of interest; in contrast, I found a L2 data site that gave me 39 million yesterday.
Hey, this is a great guide. I wasted a little more time than I care to admit trying to scan those eggs down with having the proper box checked.. But now I have some keys in my hold and I just need to find some sites to run. Any tips for new players to find a quiet system to run events in? I tried moving further away from Jita/Amarr but I still get passed by Kiki's on a regular basis. IGN: Strublog Clay
I like to use the system map in birds eye view to DScan large systems by going to the sun then checking celestial clusters outside of my bubble seems to work for me anyway,🤞 o7 IGN: Commander Vapor

Doing the hunt in a Dramial with cap and shield booster, but finding it a bit harder than last year. The last guy in the first room makes it tough. I get through in under half armour every run, sometimes I need to nip off and repair before the last room. Perhaps I need some more resistances.

@@daddex9222 Apologies, I should have been more specific; at 2:14 it seems like your process is to scan all around you and then hop 14.3 AU forward to scan again, but this will result in you scanning half of the relevant volume of space twice since you're only jumping 1 radius; you should be looking for warp targets 28.6 AU away to more efficiently cover ground. ...I think :)
Several times at the data sites, I warped in ans slipped through the gate even though someone was doing the site outside the gate. I assumed they didn't have keys. After about 10 sites, eventually someone came in after me. I was in low sec lonetrek for the huntmaster sites, and got took out, lol. IGN: Pollekey
@@daddex9222 For me: 80M & 110M in Classified Caldari thingies, which are items like Triglavian Survey Database Fragments that can be sold in several places for 1M each.
