=== Tutorial ===

When you first start the game as a new character, you can go through the tutorial (~~also~~ called the "New Player Experience"), a story-driven experience that gives you step-by-step instructions on the basic mechanics of playing EVE. Unless you've already played the game, it's highly recommended that you follow the tutorial, as there are many particular mechanics which you may not be used to.

=== Career Agents ===

Line 61:

You can do the agents in any order you like (although you should do the Explorer agent before you do the Soldier of Fortune one).

Completing the career agents missions will reward some ships and skillbooks.

=== AIR Career Program ===

This is a reward program for reaching certain goals. These goals are reached more or less automatically while doing stuff in EVE. Rewards come in the form of ISK, skillbooks, skill points, [[Expert Systems]] and ships. Some example goals are completing career agent missions, buying stuff on the market and gaining standings with a corporation things you are doing anyway.

{{Example|

For example: There are 4 [[AIR Career Program#Standings|gaining standings]] goals Which will get you the {{Sk|Social}} (for the first) and {{Sk|Connections}} (for the third) skillbooks and a total of 200,000 ISK just by doing what you are doing anyway.

}}

=== AIR Daily Goals ===

This is a continuous rewards program for reaching goals on a daily base. Reaching a goal rewards ISK and [[EverMark]]s. Reaching 2 goals a day rewards skillpoints. The program gives additional ISK and skillpoints for a monthly 12 step progress track.

As you get a feel for what you enjoy doing in EVE you can focus your training in that particular area. Skills are cumulative, and a character (provided they have an [[Clone states|Omega clone]]) can potentially learn every skill in the game given enough time. It is even possible to "extract " spent skill points and apply them elsewhere, for a price. So don't worry too much about training "the wrong skill" at the start of the game.

You start the game with a [[Starting skills|number of skills]] already trained. To train additional skills, you must first acquire the appropriate skillbook. While you will receive a ~~few~~ skillbooks as rewards from the [[~~Getting Started in EVE Online~~#Career Agents|career agents]], the others must be bought on the [[trading|market]]; most of the basic skillbooks are reasonably cheap. EVE University provides certain [[Skillbook Program|skillbooks for free]] to its members.

You can speed up your training time by installing [[implants]] in your character, specifically the basic attribute-enhancing implants, which add between +1 and +5 points to your character's attributes. While the better implants are extremely expensive, +1 implants are affordable even for new players. Members of EVE University can also buy [[The +3 Implants Program|+3 implants at a discount]].

=== Deeper knowledge ===

Beyond simple questions which can be answered in a chat channel, there is an enormous amount of knowledge about the game that the player base has documented. The [[Main Page|EVE University wiki]] that you're reading right now is one of the most comprehensive resources for newer players, but there are many others, often dedicated to a particular activity in the game.

Using your favourite internet search engine is usually a good starting point, but keep in mind that EVE is constantly evolving, so check whether the information you find is current. Additionally, the official [https://support.eveonline.com/hc/en-us EVE help centre] is a good place to find information relating to your subscription, account services, and basic gameplay.
