I don't even have time to lock the last event ship before a pile of people warp in kill it grab whatever and warp off. That is even if I can find a site. *This isn't a whining post.* But I am curious if others are having the same issue? Cause really this is a pointless exercise in gate jumping for me at least. Hope others are having better luck. |

The dead swans lay in the stagnant pool.
They lay. They rotted. They turned
Around occasionally.
Bits of flesh dropped off them from
Time to time.
And sank into the pool's mire.
They also smelt a great deal.

I suppose I could say to get out of highsec, but really, the biggest thing is to stay out of the populated areas of highsec. There are so many dead-end areas and islands that people never go to and where the sites end up piling up that it gets kind of crazy.

Yesterday evening one of my highsec characters noticed a site while doing his industry. I didn't bother with it - expected it wouldn't last long this early in the event even in my backwater system. When I finished my industry there were 3 sites in system so I switched to a cruiser and ran them - which basically consisted of orbiting the beacon and launching drones. Got skins for a Redeemer, Revelation and Sigil. Didn't see a soul. |

Problem is the system your in is full of farmers, your only good solution is to find a low population system then your odds are better. |

Just be faster and do more DPS in shorter time to either win the race to own the wreck, or steal the loot. If you don't like competition go to lowsec outside the FW areas.

Dear CCP
Can you create a program in our Accounts Page that will accept our mobile device number and have Event dates sent to us via SMS/text? With multiple events coming (and hopefully more to come in the future) it would be great to have such a feature available.
Thanks and fly safe everyone.

Make sure to keep in mind that some data charges may apply and you will need to contact your phone service provider for more details.
To the OP, move around. Look on your map (old one, I don't know if you can do this on the beta one) for systems with very few "jumps in 24 hours" or what ever that setting is and look for small, blue lit systems. Avoid high traffic areas like trade and mission hubs. Set up a "patrol" route that you can ping pong back and forth and go ham on any site that you run into. They go fast, so even then you will not be the first or only one running them very often. The SKINs are not worth that much anyways, whether you're selling them for profit or gathering them for actual unlocking.
Anyways, fly safe and have fun.

No trouble at all. I found a Tengu to kill in one a couple of days ago (see my KB for details), and scored the skin that the site dropped as well, for Guardian.

These sites are so easy you can run them in a 100% pvp fit ship. Someone stealing loot? Teach him or her some space manners :) Or go around looting yourself. Content.
As people mentioned, there are regions (even HS, watch JohnyPew on youtube) with every low to none activity where you can find multiple sites per system. |

Bingo. Someone nailed it on the head. CCP want everyone and their mother to be able to run them. Even if you are hunting for other players, these sites can be a good catalyst or, baring worthy prey or predator, a quick SKIN drop for your troubles.

Yesterday I saw 4 sites just 2 jumps from Lanngisi and I was alone in local. Since sites are pretty much useless comparing to L4 mission (apply white skins on golden amarr ships is most stupid decision you can ever make regarding to ship exterier, IMHO; most ships look so dull after that) I ignored them also.

I was alone in a dead system that barely saw 2 to 3 person on a populated time. My luck ran out though when a Sacrileage beat me to the loot.
However i did loot the Armageddon Navy issue skin earlier so I guess that is a good thing.

was lucky today: 7 sites in one system. jumped 2 systems : 3 sites. My edge of New Eden seams to be less populated because I yesterday I've flown 20+ systems with just 2 sites and in my edge 2 systems each with 2. CCP should take a look at the distribution of the sides, they pile up in low or systems with low population. |

That's how it works: when one site is completed new one is created randomly somewhere. If it does not get finished it stays there. This naturally collects sites in non-popular systems.

Anyone happen to unlock all of them yet? I've already hit a point where I'm seeing a lot of duplicate SKINs from ones I already have. Odd RNG too, I have 4 Ark SKINs but no Providence SKIN yet. Damn you, odds and chance! Still looking for one for my Paladin, yet already have one for the Avatar and Archon.
Btw, anyone know if CCP ever stated what the end date was going to be? Next week? Two weeks? Until the Nov release?

For me it really has been random. I picked up an Aeon and an Amarr rookie ship. The only duplicate was the purifier. Still missing some I want but I have a paladin skin.
I would also say I have seen a good mix of T1, Navy, and T2. Definitely seems to be random. |

If you get into the boonies, you see several. I landed in Pamah and there were five sites just sitting there with one person in local. Took my arty Hurricane and laid waste to all 5 sites. I have seen several even spawn in rookie systems, so I would check those first if you cant find them.
This would cure me of the fear...
CCP Explorer liked you forum post. Now my life is complete...

Seems entirely random. So far I have several cap SKINs, including the Archon and even the Avatar. All in High Sec.

I think it is very random - but I have "nearly" completed the collection, so far i'm at 46
Have all caps and super caps, most t2 ones.
Of the t2/t3/navy ones i think i'm missing Anathema, deacon, curse, legion., navy slicer.
Of t1 ones - noob ship, maller, oracle, harbinger, shuttel, coercer, augoror

OP here is what I do.
1. Pick a system with low traffic that you know is good because it gets at least one site up. Systems without stations can be far less busy. Check the map for slow systems using the filters. 2. Stay in the system until a site pops. Watch Netflix or read on the side make sure you're keeping an eye on the overview. 3. Warp to optimals and profit. 4. If someone warps in on you, lock them immediately so they know that you mean business. Few people will test you in highsec. 5. If you are desperate try a slow system in nullsec 6. Make sure not to carry too many Skins of value, use them or put them in a hangar if you get more than 3-4
I am doing them in an Oracle and a Nightmare together (on my husband's account as a favor to him he liked these skins)
It only takes me less than a minute or two no one has time to respond in such a slow system.
Make sure you pop the Cardinal as soon as he spawns, as you don't have to kill the rest to loot the wreck! |

Hope others are having better luck. Yea, i had the same experience. People are farming the sites like crazy. Sometimes 3 players are competing for the loot.
Doing the sites is a waste of time IMO, if you really want the SKINs, do 2h of incursions (or something with similar ISK/h) and then buy them all from the market after the event has ended. They will be dirt cheap because hundreds of grinders are farming the sites. Let the mindless grinders do the work. |
