Crimson Harvest (2020)

This article documents content that is no longer in the game

Crimson Harvest is a recurring event involving the Blood Raiders pirate faction and the Shining Flame mercenaries. In 2020, the event ran from October 29th through to November 10th, downtime to downtime, and was announced as part of EVE's Halloween Horrors. The event merged the traditional Crimson Harvest event site and rewards with a higher loot drop from PvP and structure losses (90% instead of 50%) and special wreck icons from the Trick or Treat event from the year before. The event ran concurrently with a Blood Raiders themed Abyssal Proving Grounds event from October 30th through November 3rd, featuring double web range.
