Career Agents: Difference between revisions

It is highly recommended that you complete all the mission chains (or arcs if you will) given by the five career agents, even if you already know what you'd like to do in EVE. The missions give a good overview of some of the mechanics of the game, and good financial rewards for a new player. It is also good to have a basic idea of how each career works - for example, even if you don't plan to do any exploration, it is good to have an idea of how other players are able to scan and find you while you are in space doing any number of activities. Also, it's likely that over the course of your time in EVE you will want to try doing many different things.

However, keep in mind that they offer very little training in [[PvP]] (which make up a very substantial part of the game). Additionally, EVE is a sandbox game, and much of the attraction of the game is forging your own path as opposed to following a pre-set path - so the career agent "careers" should only be seen as one of many things you can do in EVE.

~~== Finding the Career Agents ==~~

If you've followed the [[tutorial]], you will have flown to the station housing the career agents; all five agents are always located in the same station. If you skipped the tutorial, you can locate the closest set of career agents (there are three sets of agents per faction, but they all offer the same missions):

~~# Open the Help menu in-game ({{button|F12}}, or click on the "?" icon in your NeoCom)~~

~~# Look for the section called "Career Advancement" on the Support tab.~~

~~# Click on the button "Show Career Agents". This will open another window which will present you with the closest Career agents to your current location.~~

~~# Next to each agent there will be a button labelled "Set Destination". Click it to [[autopilot|plot a route]] to the system and station where the agents are.~~

~~You can do the agents in any order you like (with the exception of the Advanced Military agent, which you should do after the Military agent).~~

There are three sets of five career agents for each Empire faction in the game; however, they all offer identical missions, and unless you are looking to recover from low [[Faction Standings|faction standings]] there is no reason to do the missions for more than one set of career agents.

~~These are~~ the stations in which new players are spawned to start the tutorial.
