This article is a stub. You can help the UniWiki by expanding it.

Capsuleer Day XXIII, (Warpath) is a limited time event from 30 April to 2 June 2026, downtime to downtime.

Login Campaign

Capsuleers must log in daily to collect all rewards. The campaign rewards SKINs, Boosters and 140.000 Skill Points for  Alpha clones with 525.000 additional Skill Points, and 28,500 EverMarks for  Omega clones. The big reward for Omega clones unlocks on 6 May, just as the conflict reaches its peak.

Agency Campaign

The seasonal challenge track offers trader tokens, PLEX, SoCT ships, skillpoints, and more. Progress through the track by completing the following challenges:

  • Complete Security Missions for empires.
  • Mine Crokite or Plagioclase in empire space.
  • Kill Elite Mercenaries in new combat sites
  • Hack Strategic or Intelligence Databanks in new exploration sites
  • Make a trade with Quartermaster Traders
  • Capture or Defend FW Complexes

Challenges feature five tiers, ranging from Hireling to Warpath Master. Completing each tier awards tokens(Warpath Operational Intel) which can be exchanged with Quartermaster Traders. These Quartermaster Traders are the empires' primary tool for winning Capsuleer loyalty. Earn tokens by participating in event activities, then exchange them at empire-specific item traders found widely throughout each empire's space for your choice of various rewards.

Quartermaster Traders are located in the following systems:

  • Amarr, Gergish, Tash-Murkon Prime, Nare, Mehatoor, Kor-Azor Prime
  • New Caldari, Ikao, Onnamon, Malkalen
  • Dodixie, Luminaire, Intaki, Faurent
  • Rens, Hek, Pator, Amo

The Trader sites have a passive proximity effect (presumably as an anti-gank measure) that will add a flat 50,000 shield or armor hitpoints to any ship that warps in and prevents Microwarpdrives from being used.

Rewards

Combat sites

Enemy forces are attacking up to three complexes that control this system's War Grid, a network of local combat installations.

Defend and secure as many complexes as you can before the operational window closes. Kill all hostile ships at each complex and remain on grid to make progress in defending. Once a complex has been secured, an extraction point will become available to warp to, containing compensation & rewards. The value of loot in the supply cache increases with the number of complexes secured.

Each complex within the site will become visible as a public Celestial Beacon once a player warps to the initial anomaly. In the Defense and War Grid, players will always land at the Alpha Complex beacon when warping to the anomaly. The sites are all ungated and not deadspaced, so any ship can theoretically enter, however only specific ship classes can contribute to capture progress.

There will always be a few friendly and hostile NPCs present on initial warp-in. The hostile NPCs have poor tank and very low damage output, but some of them will warp-disrupt you. A named Elite Mercenary NPC will also show up ~30 seconds after initial warp-in flying a T1, Navy or Pirate Faction ship equivalent to the maximum capture-eligible ship class size. They do a significant amount of damage alongside warp disruption and additional EWAR that varies depending on ship type. All ships will periodically respawn every minute or so.

The non-mercenary NPCs will deal damage according to their faction. Mercenary NPCs can do wildly varying damage types, so tank for omni damage.

Warpath: Defense Complex

  • Found in high security space.
  • One complex (Alpha) to defend.
  • Can be captured by T2, Navy, Pirate, and T1 frigates.
  • All NPCs within the site are flying Frigates. Mercenary NPCs will average around 50-100 DPS.

Warpath: Defense Grid

  • Found in low-security space and high-security space.
  • Three complexes (Alpha, Beta, Gamma) to defend. They initially start at 90, 120 and 150 defense progress. The starting number corresponds to different complexes across sites.
  • Can be captured by T2, Navy, Pirate, and T1 cruisers and below.
  • Friendly and non-mercenary hostile NPCs are flying cruisers in groups of three. Mercenary NPCs fly T1, Navy and Pirate Faction Cruisers and average around 200 DPS.

Warpath: War Grid

  • Found in low-security space.
  • Can be captured by Battleships and below.
  • Defender and non-mercenary hostile NPCs are flying Battlecruisers. Mercenary NPCs fly T1, Navy and Pirate Faction Battleships and average around 500 DPS.

Exploration sites

See also: Hacking

Explorers can seek out exploration sites, which can be found in highsec, lowsec, nullsec and wormhole space. The highsec sites contain no hazards, while in all other areas of space they contain sentries and proximity mines that will activate upon triggering a site "lockdown".

All site variants require a Data Analyzer to access the loot.

Warpath: Intelligence Cache

Nodes Tools Available
System Core
70 10 		Firewall
50 20 		Anti-Virus
40 40 		Self Repair Kernel Rot

Found in high-security space, null-security space and wormholes. This offers exploration content with less risk and fewer rewards. Great for newer explorers and veterans alike. The sites are level II scanning difficulty.

The site has no known hazards. It contains:

2x <Faction> Intelligence Databank, where <Faction> corresponds to the enemy of the empire faction controlling the solar system (e.g. Minmatar Strategic Databank in Amarr space).

Possible loot:

  • Warpath Strategic Data(8-12x) (Can be sold to NPC traders for 200k ISK apiece)
  • Warpath Operational Intel(13-17x) (Quartermaster currency)
  • Infinite Celebrations Firework
  • Old Capsuleer Day skins[4]
  • Skill hardwiring implants[5]

Totals about 10-15M ISK without implant drops.

Warpath: Strategic Infiltration

Nodes Tools Available
System Core
70 10 		Firewall
80 20 		Anti-Virus
50 40 		Restoration Node
80 10 		Self Repair Kernel Rot Polymorphic Shield

Found in lowsec, nullsec and wormholes. The site is functionally very similar to Observatory Infiltration, with similar lockdown mechanics that activate upon wandering too close to certain structures or failing any hack.

There are several hazards to keep watch for, which are:

- Sentry Nodes: They activate upon triggering lockdown and deal 60 DPS omni damage each with high tracking speed. They can be hacked to prevent them from activating upon triggering lockdown. The hacks are Easy difficulty (70 HP green System Core).

- Sentinel/Tripwire Nodes: They act as proximity mines that will automatically trigger lockdown if a player enters their area of effect.

- Confinement Nodes: Hack and disable these structures before doing anything else. They will deploy interdiction probes when lockdown is triggered leaving you a sitting duck for the Sentry Nodes to destroy. The hacks are Very Easy difficulty (50 HP green core).

- Siren Node: When lockdown is triggered, it will summon a hostile response fleet. It can be hacked to prevent the response fleet from spawning, however this is a Medium difficulty hack (yellow System Core).

- Master Security Node: Acts as a "buffed" Sentinel Node that will trigger lockdown within its area of effect. If lockdown is active it can be hacked to turn off the lockdown protocol, however this is a Hard difficulty hack (red System Core).

The site contains:

  • 8x <Faction> Strategic Databank, where <Faction> corresponds to the enemy of the faction controlling the solar system (e.g. Minmatar Strategic Databank in Amarr space).

Cloaking up or leaving grid after entering the site will start a 10-minute timer after which the site will despawn.

Possible loot:

  • Warpath Strategic Data
  • Warpath Operational Intel
  • Infinite Celebrations and Capsule Cascade fireworks
  • Capsuleer Day SKINs
  • Skill hardwiring implants

Totals about 30M ISK without implant drops. Hacking all eight containers will also give a fleet payout of 7M ISK per player.
