==== Combat Anomalies ====

Combat sites focus on ~~- you guessed it -~~ combat, with the only resources being the wrecks or the sleepers found there. These sites contain three waves ~~typically~~, and are easier to clear than Data or Relic sites, but much more difficult than Gas or Ore sites. Most of your ISK will come from ~~Combat~~ sites. Anomalies up to 64AU away can be found using a ship's On Board Scanner.<br>

==== Ore Anomalies====

Ore sites are asteroid belts. Since w-space is null security, you will find all kinds of ore present, although higher class and more advanced sites will yield greater quantities of rare ore such as Arkonor and Mercoxit. There will be sleepers present, but only a single wave. However, they are not present on first warp in, instead spawning 15-30 minutes after a player has first initiated warp to the site. The sleeper spawn timer will start even if the player cancels warp and never actually arrives at the site. This ~~is a good way~~ to "activate" all ~~Ore~~ sites in the system and come back later to clear the sleepers. The asteroids are often very, very large, and even a modest Arkonor roid will be 5,000 units. At 16m^3 per unit, that's 80,000 m^3 in a single asteroid.

There will be sleepers present, but only a single wave. However, they are not present on first warp in, instead spawning 15-20 minutes after a player has first initiated warp to the site (called "activating" a site). The sleeper spawn timer will start even if the player cancels warp and never actually arrives at the site. This mechanic can be taken advantage of to activate all ore sites in the system and come back later to clear the sleepers. The asteroids are often very, very large, and even a modest Arkonor roid will be 5,000 units. At 16m^3 per unit, that's 80,000 m^3 in a single asteroid.

The following three sites are Cosmic Signatures and must be probed down to access.

==== Gas Signatures====

Gas sites contain ~~one or more~~ gas clouds~~, that~~ can be harvested using gas cloud harvesters, also referred to ~~[[Gas Cloud Mining]] or "~~huffing". Unlike k-space gas, which is used in the manufacture of mostly illegal boosters, w-space gas is used in [[Tech 3 Production]] to manufacture Strategic Cruisers and sub systems. Like Ore sites, they are guarded by a single wave of sleepers~~, but sometimes have turrets as well. Also similar to Ore sites,~~ the ~~sleepers are not present on first warp in, instead spawning ~20 minutes after a player has first initiated warp to~~ the ~~site. The sleeper spawn timer will start even if the player cancels warp and never actually arrives at the site. This is a good way to "activate" all Gas sites~~ in ~~the system and come back later to clear the sleepers~~.

Gas sites contain two gas clouds which at can be harvested using gas cloud harvesters. This is also referred to as huffing. Unlike k-space gas which is used in the manufacture of mostly illegal boosters, w-space gas is used in [[Tech 3 Production]] to manufacture Strategic Cruisers and sub systems. Like Ore sites, they are guarded by a single wave of sleepers (with the exception of the [[Vast Frontier Reservoir]] which spawns in 2 timed waves).

~~Sometimes~~ when no or ~~not enough combat ships are available,~~ Gas sites can be "ninja huffed~~" (still for decent profit of up to about 25mil ISK depending on your skill, especially in sites containing the most expensive C320 or C540 gas)~~ by harvesting and warping off as soon as ~~the sleepers arrive - this~~ can be done with great success in the [[Venture]] mining frigate ~~for example. Information on [[Gas in W-space]]~~.

The sleepers are not present on first warp in, instead spawning 15 - 25 minutes after a player has first initiated warp to the site. The sleeper spawn timer will start even if the player cancels warp and never actually arrives at the site.

~~Note: The Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir Gas~~ sites ~~contain 5 Sentries on initial warp-~~in ~~so "ninja huffing"~~ is ~~not really possible in these particular sites~~.

Be aware that the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] is an exception to this rule; it has 5 sentry guns that are present when the site spawns. These have a very powerful alpha strike and will easily destroy a Venture or Prospect before you can warp away.

Gas sites can be ninja huffed by harvesting until sleepers spawn and warping off as soon as that happens. This can be done with great success in the [[Venture]] mining frigate, which has a large ore hold (which also holds gas) and a bonus to gas huffing.

Ninja huffing can often be better ISK per hour than running combat sites in C2/C3, especially with poor skills. A good website to help estimate this is http://blitzmann.it.cx/gasSites/wormhole/

==== Data Signatures ====

Data sites have multiple containers, often in a grid or array of some kind, that can be accessed using the Data Analyzer module. They will contain SubSystem Datacores, RAMs, or other production/invention components. However, they will be guarded by usually four waves of sleepers.

They will contain SubSystem Datacores, RAMs, or other production/invention components. However, they will be guarded by usually four waves of sleepers. These are often quite difficult when compared to combat sites, and the loot they drop is not particularly good in C4 and under. Typically these sites are run for the sleeper loot and salvage.
