Many new ~~player~~ find that the [[Tutorials_-_Opportunities_and_Career_Agents_in_EVE_Online|career agents]] ~~to be~~ very beneficial to run. These are 5 agent types (offering Industry, Business, Exploration, Military, Advanced Military) that will introduce you to mainly the more basic PvE archetypes of things you can do in EVE Online. They will teach you some good basics to help you get started in EVE Online, but keep in mind that they only cover some aspects and virtually nothing for PvP. You can do these in any order you wish, but it is recommended that you complete the Military chain prior to taking on the Advanced Military chain. There is far more to get involved in other than what these agents will initially expose you to. They will also provide a generous amount of ships, modules, skill books and ISK. In addition by completing an complete mission chain for a given agent you will earn a good boost in standings with the faction that the agent is part of. Each empire faction (Amarr, Caldari, Gallente, and Minmatar) will have 3 sets of 5 agents available. Once you complete an agent's chain of missions that agent will no longer be available to you, however, you can go to another agent that offers the same chain with any faction. This means you can complete each chain 12 times (3 agents offering per faction, 4 factions). Should you run into problems where you are mid-chain such as declining the agent (which will prevent you from progressing further with that agent) or any technical glitches you can open a support ticket and usually a GM will reset the mission or even the agent for you.

As you complete these you will find that you will complete many of the Opportunities.
