Hello Eve Online,

I am a newer player and have started to run some of the data/relic sites that are scattered throughout low-sec space. Once I have scanned down the site and completed the hack in a particular system, I was wondering what is a reasonable amount of time before I should go back to that system again to check for sites again? Is it a general rule that you come back the next day? Or is it sooner? Just wondering what some of y'all have discovered, thanks.

Sites respawn in any system for which that site can spawn in. As soon as it is completed it respawns somewhere else.

By that she means any system in the region (that's the best we can determine - and there have even been reports stating sites spawn across regions).

Hunting one system for sites is not a wise choice.

Yes, I would say the next day is a safe bet. Any more often and you'll be wasting your own effort.

I usually set a course through low sec. I've run it twice a day and found plenty of new sites the second time around. I've even see new sites spawn as I'm scanning the system I'm in.

Next day is quite a long time, I can rotate between about 10 low sec systems and usually always find a site to do.
