I usually roam lowsec for exploration sites. The other day during my regular scanning session, I found Sanctum anomaly site in lowsec. Quick check in Eve Wiki site suggest Sanctum is only found in Null. Is this a glitch? The system was 0.1 security but definitely not Null Second and the nearest Null Second is at least 15 jumps away.

Nope I've found Sanctums in low-sec many times.

Thanks! I guess moral of the story is not to trust Eve Wiki 100%. Big smile.

Is Sanctum solo able with Legion (almost perfect skill)? I guess I will have problem when it escalate. What I found was Blood Sactum. I heard the Citadel Torp is almost impossible to tank.

Yes you can do it in a legion but its not the best ship to do them in. The Citadel Torp you mention I think is from a escaltion from a Sanctum, something like Guristas Fleet Staging Post Room 3 (albeit the Blood equivilant of it)

Fly something fast and you can kite it with speed or just drop a carrier in and kill it quick.

Man theres some dumb info here, The Bastions in the Sansha 8 and 10-10 fire those torps at you..

Those torps dont hurt at all because of such a small sig on a T3 along with high resists to the faction your fighting.

Blood Sanctum can escalate to Blood Raider Naval Ship Yard, IMO the BEAST 10/10 in the game. There is no "soloing" it, I dual box it with a Loki (faction/deadspace armor buffer fit, totally passive) and a Rattlesnake fit to remote rep and do dps.

The 20 battleships in that plex neut you down so hard a SWEAR to you the lights in my living room flickered for a bit lol.

rofl, you're right, there is some dumb info, mainly yours since the guy was talking about a BLOOD Sanctum, not Sansha anything........

Makes no difference, the torp is the same in just about every 8-10 ded plex.

Those citadel torps do not hurt at all unless you have default ship resists and a MWD on.

OR you do the Angel versions and get target painted before the torp hits. OR you try to active Shield tank the Blood Version which neuts you to 0 cap within 6 seconds of landing, or you try some speed tanking set up and get webbed down ect ect.

Sure, small sig negates some of the torp damage (it won't instapop you unless you are in a BS, or ,again, webbed and TPs in the Angel plexes), but it will do some damage, add that to the other FORTY ships in the BR 10/10 and that's bad news. Which is what we're talking about here.

It's just funny you calling other people's post dumb when yours was irrelevant. Maybe stick to what you actually know next time.

I then replied stating that the citadel torps do not hurt if your tanked properly, Massive weapon - tiny ship = no damage.

My posts were not irrelevant at all were they now?

Nope, still invalid, i highlighted/underlined/bolded the part that makes what you're saying invalid. If he gets a BLOOD Sanctum to escalate to a BLOOD 10/10 not only does he have to worry about the torp, but the other 40 ships, while neuted to zero cap, webbed and scrammed. So when you post about the torp in SANSHA plexes, well that has nothing to do with anything.

Say the OP had listened to you, "TriadSte said it was no problem tanking the "torp", so I'm going to do this BLOOD 10/10 solo" and loses a ship. Would TriadSte reimburse his loss?

What you posted amounted to bad advice (he was asking about the escalation to the sanctum he found), which is simply irresponsible and thus invalid. This is why I linked the guy the actual wiki of the Blood Raider 10/10, this forum is about sharing GOOD info with our fellow players, not what you posted.

Thank you all for the replies and guides! Don't worry, I will not take them wholesale. Learned my 'lesson' with Eve Wiki. Can't trust anyone 100% can I? Lol

Anyway, I know in the virtual world behind any female avatar is a guy and behind a child-like avatar is FBI. For the purpose of this discussion, I am a 'she' as my avatar indicates. Big smile

Now back to the topic, it seems like Legion being cap intensive and relatively weak EM resist is not a good ship for 10/10 Blood Raider (or any 10/10). Time to train for a Loki - feeding the ACs in lowsec with faction ammo will be a ***** though...

If the guy went by my entire advice on an anom and died, depending on his skillpoints, I would reimburse his ship. I am that kind of guy, one of the sincere ones.

However I did not give advice on tanking the blood sanctum or anything to do with the blood sanctum. I only gave advice on the citadel torp and nothing more.

If the guy wanted my advice on soloing a Blood Sanctum Id say that yes a Legion can do it you just need the correct fit.

Emperor of exploration.....lol thats quite a nick name for someone.

No I will not go away oh mighty king of putting probes out....

Seriously though being worshipped for something requiring no skill other than getting probe skills to lvl 5 and the ability to arrange 5 probes properly is pretty awesome :P

If the site is Blood Raiders then be prepared for extreme energy neuts. Wish I could link the KB but 7.5B Mach dying to a Sanctum is prettyy funny. I believe Blood raiders account for the majority of NPC player kills.

I prefer a Navy geddon for running it. If it escalates then don't try and solo it.
