Abyssal Artifact Recovery: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 10:44, 15 September 2025

Main article: Homefront operation

This site will require proficiency in mining, drones, repair, and capacitor transfer. After an initial set-up period of 90 seconds, asteroids from beyond the rift will appear and a timer will begin. The site will progress through a total of 9 waves divided into three tiers. The enemy fleet compositions will become more difficult and the wave timers become shorter with each tier.

During each wave, a random Abyssal Weather effect will begin and 12 asteroids will spawn in fixed locations. Each asteroid contains 24 ore (Admixti Mutanite), each with a mass of 4 m³, for a total of 96 m³. The presence of these asteroids causes an anti-warp bubble until all 12 are depleted.

Uncover the hidden Faulty Triglavian Caches by mining any of the asteroids, there are Triglavian Artifacts to be looted from them—destroy them quickly, as they have a limited lifespan.

The success of each wave is determined by the depletion of the asteroids. If any remain at the end of the wave timer, the site will fail. Note that the warp bubble will still remain until all asteroids have been mined out. Successfully completing a wave will result in a payout at the end of that wave's timer, based on the wave's difficulty tier.

Fleet size & composition

Optimal fleet size: 5 ships
Fleet composition: T1 Cruisers (DPS), T1 Logistic Cruisers (Logi), Miners

Type of ships allowed

This homefront operation takes place in a deadspace pocket with an acceleration gate that has ship restrictions.

Tech 1 frigates, navy and pirate frigates
Tech 1 destroyers, navy and pirate destroyers
Tech 1 cruisers
Tech 1 haulers, including Squall
Ventures

Note:

You can view in-game ship restrictions for each Homefront Operation by opening the Opportunities window (ALT+J) and double-clicking on a mission.

Abyssal Artifact Recovery: Mission Parameters

Abyssal Artifact Recovery in different empires

These sites have no regional differences.

Hostiles

Each wave spawns an enemy fleet belonging to one of three factions: Sleepers, Rogue Drones, or Triglavians. Fleet compositions are randomized and may include logistics, capacitor neutralizers, and other forms of EWAR. Enemies persist until destroyed, so maintaining a minimum level of DPS is essential to avoid being overwhelmed.

WARNING: After the 9th and final wave, a 60-second evacuation timer begins. When it ends, a Drifter response fleet led by Tyrannos Basileus will arrive in overwhelming force. No vessel can survive the Basileus battleship’s superweapon.

Finding sites

Homefront operations are Cosmic Anomalies located in empire owned High Security systems, mostly focused around trade hubs or career agent systems.

Opportunities window > Homefront Operations tab: will render a list of the available homefronts within a limited range.
Agency window > Homefront Operations tab: will give you a more detailed filtering ability that allows you to search any region.
Probe Scanner > Displays all available anomalies in the system, including their distance in AU, with options to warp or align to them.

Opportunities > Homefront Operations
Agency > Homefront Operations
Probe Scanner > Homefront Anomalies

Rewards

Each of the 5 pilots in the fleet receive a total payout of 65,422,260 ISK for completing all 9 waves.

ISK payout (wave)
Tier	Waves	Threat Level	Timer	Payout (ISK)
1	3	Minimal	3:00	5,372,850
2	3	Moderate	2:30	7,269,130
3	3	Severe	2:00	9,165,440

Not counting any of the Triglavian Artifacts that are recovered from the caches:

Unaligned Dekaisogen: 500,000 ISK each, sold to NPC buy order
Fluctuating Entropic Regulator: 200,000 ISK each, sold to NPC buy order
Spin resonance
Spectral Emission Slices

Unaligned Dekaisogen: Description
AAR Loot: Electron Spin Resonance
Fluctuating Entropic Regulator: Description
AAR Loot: Spectral Emission Slices

Estimated Admixti Mutanite ore amount per site is 2592 units, with an ISK value of 12,960,000 ISK. The mutanite can only be sold to NPC buy orders.
