== How to use Locator Agents ==
== How to use Locator Agents ==


First use the in game [[The Agency]] to find your nearest locator agent. When you talk to the locator agent, you will have a button to locate a character besides the request mission button. You have to type in the name of the character and the locator agent will give you a quote how much it will cost (Note that the lower the price the closer the target player is to your location, so you can determine without paying money whether the target is in another region, just another constellation or in your system).

If the target you searched for is offline, the agent will give you the targets last known location, but will not tell you they are offline.
# Find a Locator Agent using the in game [[The Agency]] or [[List of Locator Agents]].
# Dock with the station where the Locator Agent is located.
# Talk to the Locator Agent to open the Agent Conversation window.
# Click on the Locate Character button.
# A textbox will appear where you can write the name of the target you want to locate.
# Accept the price quote<ref name="Info leak"></ref>.
# Wait to receive an EVEmail from the Agent.
# Receive the target's location, when you started the search, which will include the system, constellation, region and even station if they were docked.


The locator agent will then run its location service which will take a couple of minutes, depending on the agents level. The higher the level, the faster he runs.  
The outcome also depends on the location and status of the target:
* If the target is in space, no station will be given.
* If the target is offline the Agent will give you the target's last known location, but will not tell you if they are offline.
* If the target is in a Wormhole, the Agent will say {{co|wheat|"I'm sorry, but I just can't help you with that one. I'm pretty sure <Target> is well out of my zone of influence."}}


Once done the locator agent will send you a Notification with the location of the target '''when you started the search''' which will include the system, constellation and region as well as the station the player might be docked at. If the target is in space, no station will be listed. E.g. {{co|wheat|"The sleazebag is currently in the Bukah system, Nohshayess constellation of the Khanid region." }}

If the target is logged off, the locator agent will tell you the last known position. If the target is in Anoikis (wormhole space), the locator agent will tell you {{co|wheat|"I'm sorry, but I just can't help you with that one. I'm pretty sure O'b Haru Sen is well out of my zone of influence."}} - even if the agent can locate anyone in known space.
