Is there anything worth the time in Cosmic Anomalies?
The bounties seem to be lower than ratting although there are a lot more targets.
If you complete the "room" is there ever a chance of a nice item drop (only find typical loot or worse in the few that I have done).
Is there a "boss" at the end of the waves of reinforcements?
I understand they will not be as worth while as full blown exploration sites or cosmos, but are they really just a typical spawn with more targets? |

Cosmic Anomalies have a chance to "escalate" -- essentially, you receive a mission request to head to another system where another fight will ensue. Escalations can lead to better NPCs (and better drops). Random though.
Like most things in EVE, the rewards are better in 0.0 than in low-sec than in high-sec. Of course, the risk is commensurate.

Edited by: VicturusTeSaluto on 28/01/2009 22:57:07 I haven't seen any actual anomalies since FW, it's pretty lame. All you can find in low sec are useless FW things. Tried a few 0.0 ones and they didn't yield any faction spawns or escalations. |

you didn't do enough of them. they have chance of factions spawn and escalations. just a smaller chance. |

thanks for the replies, I didn't know they had escalations or any chance of faction spawns. seems, and appropriately so, that they do offer a level of potential reward commensurate with the risks and difficulty of finding them.
Thanks again. |

The chance for faction spawns is decent, perhaps 20%.
The chance for escalations? Tiny. I wouldn't even factor the chance into my decision on doing them or not. |

That's strange for me, I've never had a real faction spawn (True Sansha or Dread Guristas) in those anomalies (expect sentinel drones which dropped crappy loot) in about 30~40 anomalies I've found, but I had an anomaly that escalated to a 6/10 sansha plex. |

Lately post QR it seems that the chance for faction spawns in anomalies has been changed... I think in the 20+ anomalies I've done in the last month I've seen one (1) faction spawn. Go figure.
I did have one escalate to a 5/10 plex though which was nice. |
