Guide to AIR Career Programme: Difference between revisions

From EVE University Wiki
Updated version of the AIR Career Programme after the changes to Redeem queue and additional 750k SP for Omegas. I also removed the whole referencing to Multiboxing and the estimated ISK made through SP, as it felt like it does not add much value in the guide but rather served as a "promotion" for older players to do the guide.

You can run the Blood-Stained Stars Epic Arc every 3 months and there are plenty of guides out there. Using the AIR Sunesis will allow you to comfortably finish it within 4 hours. For new characters or Alts, use the FREE AIR Enforcer Expert System you received in your Redeem Queue for finishing the Career Agent earlier.

The Industry career doesn't have obvious "cheese" mechanics but you can still optimise the time it takes to complete tasks and choose the ones that are the quickest. Find the tasks in order of priority here and take suggestions on which ones to skip. Use the FREE Industry Expert System you received as a redeemable reward from finishing the Career Agents.

{{Co|lightblue|[Research - Copy/ME/TE]}} Buy and use a [[Blueprints#Blueprint_Originals|Blueprint Original]] that is quick to research and cheap - if in Jita/Perimeter, get (Mjolnir/Scourge/…) Rocket Blueprint or similar from an NPC order. If you are doing it in a different trade hub, get the respective small ammo of the Empire (e.g. Amarr - Multifrequency S, etc.). The four research tasks should take less than 10 minutes to complete.

{{Co|lightblue|[Build a Cruiser/Destroyer/Frigate/Shuttle]}} You should have completed the Shuttle and Frigate during the Career Agents. For the Cruiser and Destroyer, you can utilise the Blueprint Copy that you will receive in your Redeem Queue for reprocessing 16k Pyroxes and 14k Plagioclase (tasks of the {{Co|lightblue|[Refining]}} section.

Alternatively, simply buy a Blueprint Copy from the Contract Market and buy the material required right from the market. (See screenshots). You can then sell those ships at a slight loss to the market and complete the next section.

{{Co|lightblue|[Market]}} Earning 1M ISK on the market can be done in multiple ways. Usually when you sell all your loot/rewards you receive from Career Agents, Blood-Stained Stars Epic Arc etc. this completes quickly. If you haven't managed so far, simply redeem all rewards you have gotten so far (in your Redeem queue) and sell those + the ships you've built in the previous task at a trade hub.

{{Co|lightblue|[Resource Harvesting]}} While a time-consuming task (around 2h for everything), this can help you save ISK 5M or more, if you use the resources harvested for the following [Refining] task. It can pretty much be done afk in a belt in High-Sec. Each mining task will require approximately one Venture's hold worth of minerals.
