AIR Career Program

This article is a stub. You can help the UniWiki by expanding it.

This page should be updated due to game changes.
Reason: The article needs more links, images, etc.

The AIR Career Program rewards players for reaching certain goals. The rewards for a single goal are a small amount of ISK and career points (CP) but sometimes also items. The goals are grouped into four categories which each have ten sub-categories. Reaching all goals in one category gives a total of a thousand CP. When you reach three-quarter completion of a category, i.e. 750 CP, you graduate for that category and receive 100k skill points (SP) plus SKINs. Furthermore, you gain SP based upon your total CP. You can gain a total of 750k SP per character through the AIR Career Program.

While you will reach most goals through your normal activities as a new player, you probably have to strive beyond those to obtain all the available SP. Thus the system encourages you to try out activities which you otherwise would not have tried.

Rewards

There are rewards for completing particular goals, but also for graduating from a career by completing 75% of its goals, and for reaching certain milestones in the overall program.

Career Points: Each goal provides an amount of Career Points, which are used as the measurement of progression in each Career and the AIR Career Program overall. There are 4,000 CP to collect, 1,000 in each career.

Boosters: for completing some of the Goals

Aura assistance

Each goal has a section in which Aura provides tips and guidance in the form of links to fittings, modules, skills, specific locations, and pointers to relevant UI windows.

Goals

The goals which are categorized in four careers split into ten activities, each with three to tengoals, for a total of 188 goals. Each goal reached will give a reward. A goal can be tracked which will display its progress in the Info Panel outside of the AIR Career Program window, but tracking isn't required to complete goals since they progress passively during normal gameplay. All capsuleers start the program from the beginning. An older character's activities before the program's introduction do not count.

Each career category contains an activity to do the corresponding career agent missions. Aura's assistance redirects you to the agency section for career agents which will direct you to the career agents corresponding to your school i.e. starting corporation. Since you can complete Career missions only once, if the designated agent does not have any jobs for you, please set destination to another agent to complete the mission.

Many of the goals are related. For example, if you finish the combat sites goal for the enforcer, you automatically finish the combat sites goal for the explorer. Some rewards help you with other goals: the refining activity provides you with BPCs which you can then use for the manufacturing activity.

If you want to work through the goals, it's a good idea to start with the career agents and the do the SoE epic arc as you already cover about one-third of the possible CP.
