'''Exploration''' in EVE involves using scanning probes to locate [[cosmic signatures]] in space which may contain hackable containers with items inside, resources like [[Gas cloud harvesting|gas clouds]] or ore, [[wormholes]] to distant star systems, or collections of NPCs which may drop rare items. As a profession, exploration can be profitable and engaging, and offers better rewards for players willing to travel in more dangerous space. It has a low skill barrier, and new players can start exploring almost from day 1.

Players will learn what [[Exploration skills|skills]] are required to start exploring, what ships and equipment are best for the new explorer, what sorts of areas can be [[probe scanning|located]] using the exploration mechanics, how to use probes to track down hidden exploration sites, and how to use analyzer modules to hack into loot containers in exploration sites.

Mapping tools generally focus on wormhole chains to be used by travelers. EVE University uses the [https://wanderer.eveuniversity.org/ Wanderer] mapper.

The EVE University Wanderer server only holds the maps for the WHC~~, so unless~~ you are part of the WHC you cannot use it. Instead, you can use the public servers for Wanderer or Pathfinder. You can add other characters to your Wanderer maps on the public server by using the access lists.

The EVE University Wanderer server only holds the maps for the WHC and LSC. Unless you are part of the WHC, you cannot use it WHCs mapper. Instead, you can use the public servers for Wanderer or Pathfinder, or when you work out of the LSC, you can try your first mappings in the LSC Wanderer. LSC does not relay on WHs like WHC does, so for LSC its optional, not mandatory. You can add other characters to your Wanderer maps on the public server by using the access lists.

Additional [[third-party tools]] are available for mapping wormhole chains.

The organization EVE-Scout and corp Signal Cartel maintains a publicly-available map of [[Thera]] connections on their website and 3rd-party tool Tripwire.
