I've done a lot of mining, got bored.
Exploration (high sec) made no profit 
Exploration (low sec) spent more time running and hiding 
Mission running, bored
Low sec piracy - gate camps and roams for mainly frigate and hauler kills

However yesterday I received a mission, a little one called worlds collide. Now I've heard all about farming it so I tried. Did the first two rooms never entered the third. Both times on the serp side I received an overseer on first warp through but never the gurist side.

The loot gods were lucky and I received a SS 100mn microwarp drive, SS large armor rep and a SS armor hardener.

Now is it possiable to get a overseer both sides or is it just one.

Have I being really lucky? As I'm trying to save for a wormhole excursion!

Hello!

You can get both, one of them or none.... it's random.

Also, in the last room just kill de BSes and you will be able to farm it anyway.

Good luck ;)

Well I'd say you were lucky.
I run missions with 2 characters, and time ti tome I do get worlds collide. Once I had 4 of them in one day...
However faction items dropped only once for me, and only ~70 mil module.

You can farm it, and generaly farming does not mean that you shoot everything. just come in, kill faction spawn, pick drop if there is any and leave.
That's farming.
Same goes for Angel extravaganza farming - you only go for implant.



And if you want to "farm bounties" in those missions - you're better just keep running missions.
The only way I see this working, if you'd use something agile like tengu, and had 30-40 agents in 10-15 jump radius... then if you could get at least WC and AE, then you could farm bounties. However that will be for a week, and to recive another one without canceling loads of missions and destroying your standings.

Absurdly lucky. Buy a lotto ticket. But never count on that happening again.

Ya this guy ^^^^ is wrong.... Overseers spawn on boths sides as of inferno every time... There are 4 tiers of overseers that can appear. 6mil being the highest which can drop Vindi BPC.. and nice lootz


Before inferno Faction ships would spawn randomly at some time through out the day.. So you would have teo keep mission for a while and 4 hours later he might appear.

Usually you get horrible lootz... Ill get crap from them I just leave worth like a mil or so.... But there is a chance of getting good stuff...
Dont quote me I saw this somewhere its like a 1.82% chance of top tier overseer. Which gave me about 2 mil in drops....

Almost never, and when they do appear, often they drop nothing. Inb4 your next post of "nerf high sec ffs".

By their fruit you will recognize them.

hey, check your mouth when you speak to the mighty JitaPriceChecker2. he clearly knows best when and where faction spawns should appear.

I should buy an Ishtar.

Warp to mission - activate one gate - kill the overseer if any - warp out mission - rinse and repeat.

Drops where stealth nerfed in one single swoop, along with invention chance's and getting ganked at a gate role of dice chances.
Yep yep.
