Datacore farming: Difference between revisions

Line 68:

In order to maximize the production of RPs, and therefore to produce more datacores, you will want to work with the highest level R&D agents - level 4. (Note: there are no level 5 R&D agents - though some agent-finder sites may show them, this is an error.) The corporations with level 4 R&D agents, sorted by their associated factions, are:

* Gallente Federation: CreoDron, Roden Shipyards, Duvolle Laboratories (~~a mix of research corps is needed to access all~~ level ~~four~~ agents~~, unfortunately~~)

* Gallente Federation (9 level 4 R&D agents, standings with at least two corporations are required to access 6 agents, and the agents are spread out all over HS of New Eden)

* Caldari State: Kaalakiota Corporation, Ishukone Corporation, Lai Dai Corporation (note that Lai Dai is the only corp with 6 level IV R&D agents, so if you ever plan to train to Research Project Management V, this would be the ideal choice)

** CreoDron (3 level 4 R&D agents)

* Minmatar Republic: Core Complexion Inc. (~~best~~), Boundless Creation

** Roden Shipyards (2 level 4 R&D agents)

* Amarr Empire: Carthum Conglomerate, Viziam

** Duvolle Laboratories (4 level 4 R&D agents)

* Caldari State (10 level 4 R&D agents)

** Kaalakiota Corporation (2 level 4 R&D agents)

** Ishukone Corporation (2 level 4 R&D agents)

** Lai Dai Corporation (note that Lai Dai is the only corp with 6 level 4 R&D agents, so if you ever plan to train to Research Project Management V, this would be the ideal choice)

* Minmatar Republic (7 level 4 R&D agents)

** Core Complexion Inc. (5 level 4 R&D agents)

** Boundless Creation (2 level 4 R&D agents)

* Amarr Empire (5 level 4 R&D agents. If you want to train to Research Project Management V you'll need to add an agent from another faction. The Gallente agents are the closest, so don't run Storyline missions that involve destroying Gallente ships if you plan to get standings with those agents)

** Carthum Conglomerate (5 level 4 R&D agents)

** Viziam (no level 4 R&D agents)

There are also some non-Empire faction corporations with a few R&D agents:

* Thukker Tribe: Thukker Mix

* Thukker Tribe (1 level 4 R&D agent)

* Khanid Kingdom: Khanid Innovation

** Thukker Mix (1 level 4 R&D agent)

* Ammatar Mandate: Nefantar Miner Association

* Khanid Kingdom (no level 4 R&D agents)

** Khanid Innovation (no level 4 R&D agents)

* Ammatar Mandate (no level 4 R&D agents)

** Nefantar Miner Association (no level 4 R&D agents)

Only level 4 agents produce datacores in useful quantities. Because the good Gallente R&D agents are scattered between three corporations, they are not an optimal choice, unless you have already started grinding missions there, or are otherwise committed to their faction.
