* [[Business | * [[Business Career Agent|Industrialist - Entrepreneur]], which teach you about [[hauling]], [[salvaging]], [[mining]], [[hacking]], and [[manufacturing]]. | ||
* [[Exploration | * [[Exploration Career Agent|Explorer]], which teach you about [[exploration]], [[probe scanning]], [[hacking]], and [[Gas Cloud Mining|gas cloud mining]]. | ||
* [[Industry | * [[Industry Career Agent|Industrialist - Producer]], which teach you about [[mining]], [[reprocessing]], [[manufacturing]], and [[hauling]]. | ||
* [[Military | * [[Military Career Agent|Enforcer]], which teach you about basic [[PvE]] combat. | ||
* [[Advanced Military | * [[Advanced Military Career Agent|Soldier of Fortune]], which teach you about advanced [[PvE]] combat as well as some basic [[PvP]] combat techniques. | ||
The agents are not exclusive (i.e. doing one set of missions doesn't "lock" you into a pre-set "career path", as there are no such things in EVE); you can do as many of the agents' missions as you want. There are 12 [[#Career Agents Locations|locations]] in total, 3 for each of the four [[Faction]]s in New Eden. | The agents are not exclusive (i.e. doing one set of missions doesn't "lock" you into a pre-set "career path", as there are no such things in EVE); you can do as many of the agents' missions as you want.

There are no built-in mission order for the career agents - you can complete them in whichever order you please. There are, however, some benefits to completing one mission chain before another, be it for logical or material reasons. | There are no built-in mission order for the career agents - you can complete them in whichever order you please.

* In addition, [[ | * In addition, [[Advanced Military Career Agent#The Exam (10 of 10)|The Exam (10/10)]] might pose a challenge for those who do not yet have a combat-appropriate frigate from [[Military Career Agent#Cash Flow for Capsuleers (2 of 10)|Cash Flow for Capsuleers (2/10)]] or the necessary skill injected and trained to use the destroyer granted to you when the mission is accepted. | ||
* Small tip: [[ | * Small tip: [[Advanced Military Career Agent#Angel of Mercy (2 of 10)|Angel of Mercy (2/10)]] and [[Advanced Military Career Agent#The Stand (5 of 10)|The Stand (5/10)]] require you to fly a frigate to its destruction. Do not fit any modules on it other than what you need to complete the mission, and get it Platinum-level insured before you undock for a quick and easy pay-out on mission completion. | ||
=== [[Business | === [[Business Career Agent|Industrialist - Entrepreneur]] === | ||
* [[ | * [[Business Career Agent#Balancing the Books (9 of 10)|Balancing the Books (9/10)]] requires two 1MN Afterburner modules, one of which needs to be acquired outside of the mission chain. If you complete either [[Military Career Agent#Cash Flow for Capsuleers (4 of 10)|Enforcer: Cash Flow for Capsuleers (4/10)]] or [[Industry Career Agent#Making Mountains of Molehills (5 of 10)|Industrialist - Producer: Making Mountains of Molehills (5/10)]] beforehand, you can use these mission rewards to immediately complete the mission. | ||
* [[ | * [[Business Career Agent#Balancing the Books (10 of 10)|Balancing the Books (10/10)]] requires some faction-specific ammunition, which you can manufacture or purchase from the market. If you are doing this mission for a Gallente or Minmatar agent, you can use leftover ammunition which comes as a bonus reward by [[Military Career Agent#Cash Flow for Capsuleers (1 of 10)|Enforcer: Cash Flow for Capsuleers (1/10)]] for at least a partial supply of required items. | ||
=== [[Industry | === [[Industry Career Agent|Industrialist - Producer]] === | ||
* [[ | * [[Industry Career Agent#Making Mountains of Molehills (4 of 10)|Making Mountains of Molehills (4/10)]] and [[Industry Career Agent#Making Mountains of Molehills (8 of 10)|(8/10)]] require 7,000 and 2,640 units of Tritanium respectively, which you can reprocess from the ores you mine or buy from the market. Should you wish to mine and reprocess yourself, a [[Venture]] mining frigate given by [[Business Career Agent#Balancing the Books (2 of 10)|Industrialist - Entrepreneur mission: Balancing the Books (2/10)]] may come in handy due to its mining speed and spacious orehold capacity. Alternatively, [[Frigates#Exploration|exploration frigates]] given out by [[Exploration Career Agent#Gas Site Scanning (5 of 5)|Explorer mission: Gas Site Scanning (5/5)]] is also a good candidate for mining for this mission (although not for mining in general) as they usually have the largest cargohold capacity within the non-mining frigate class to minimize the number of mining trips you have to make. | ||
* [[ | * [[Industry Career Agent#Making Mountains of Molehills (10 of 10)|Making Mountains of Molehills (10/10)]] requires a faction-specific frigate which you can either manufacture or purchase from the market. Alternatively, if you have already completed [[Exploration Career Agent#An Introduction to Cosmic Signatures (2 of 5)|Explorer mission: Introduction to Cosmic Signatures (2/5)]] and have the rewarded frigate intact, you can turn it in to immediately complete the mission. | ||
