No Agents Will Talk To Me

Completed all the tutorials, and then, thinking I'd messed something up the first time, flew the first one over again. I moved my base of operations, and the same thing. All the Career tutorials say they have nothing for me, the first, the beginners tutorial, now says she can redo it but she has to erase my mind. The plan is to build up my fleet, then go have some fun in lo-sec, but I'd like to run some agent missions along the way. I'm flying a Thorax, but it needs refitting as I just fitted it with what I had as opposed to what I should have fitted it with, but that shouldn't have anything to do with agents disliking me. Could it be bad breath? If it's something simple that people have run into before I'd like to hear about it. If not, then I guess it's ticket time, and that's not why I'm here. Thanks for investing life-span in reading about my little problems.

Run some regular missions. You're done with the tutorials; start doing level 1s for the corporation of your choice and build from there.

Did you get them angry at you somehow?

In that case try Gallente agents. They are not too fond of deoderant from what I hear.

Maybe your Thorax fitting is so bad that NPC agents are going "No, no...It's ok...Thanks, but we got this"

Did one of the tutorial missions not suggest you go see Sister Alitura in Arnon at the end of the series?

That will start you on the SOE epic arc and is a good place to go after finishing the tutorial agents.

Otherwise it shouldn't be too difficult to find a level 1 agent of whatever type you prefer (security, industry, etc) in a system outside the starter systems.

I have noticed while leveling agents, sometimes they become "available" to me but when I access them they refuse to give me missions. They come to after awhile, but I cant explain why this happens.

Unlike mission agents, New Order agents will talk with everyone. Have you decided you want to run missions forever, or are you open minded still?

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

No. No they don't.

I've never even heard of them talking.

What a ruse. And a stupid one at that.

Level 1 agents will always talk to you no matter how bad your standings are.

Things are only impossible until they are not.

Here's a tip:

Train up to interceptor ASAP and then go to nullsec and hit up the pirate agents there. Reason? You have an advantage over people who carebeared it up killing rats for years. It's hard to have 10s of mullions of SP and then do level 1 missions. It's like a step down. But if you are just starting, then you have the benefit of doing your missions in space that matters for more ISK, working your way up in an LP system that can give you better loot, and working in an environment where you have to be alert.

This is not limited to nullsec - there's also lowsec to consider, and if pirate factions are not your speed, Sisters of Eve has stations out there too.


You are at that cusp of your Eve career where you either go into the heart of the game working where the ISK is better and the sooner you take the risk the better you will be at handling it, OR become a highsec a"mission grinding drone". Don't go thinking you need a gajillion SP and tons of ISK before you leave highsec because that fallacy has many players grinding at missions for years until they leave out of boredom.

Go hard mode now while you have less to lose and more to learn and you won't regret it.

(If PVP is your goal look into FW or perhaps some of the larger nullsec alliances that take new players and have guidance and ship replacement programs).

This will happen once in a while and usually a relog fixes the issue.
Im assuming its just a delay and while you have the standings the agents hasent updated yet.

No no that's Caldari, it's too much of a luxury for the working class to enjoy.

Wow!! That is thinking outside the box. I may just take your advice and try it out.

+1 on the Blood Stained Stars suggestion above

http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/The_Blood-Stained_Stars


Do not get worried by the number of missions, most are very quick simple combat or delivery missions. There are three that may give you trouble, One early mission webs and scrams you, another later one neuts you and the final mission against Dagan needs better than T1 frigate DPS to take out ( in fact the last time I ran the arc in an artie thrasher I ended up loading Republic Fleet Fusion). You can do this whole arc in a few days.

it's called "eau de naturale" thank you very much



I would also third the SoE epic arc. It gives you a LOT of ISK, a lot of them give you 2-300k ISK for doing nothing but flying around. most of the missions give you at LEAST 200k ISK if you finish within the time limit.
