Hi guys

I would like to find the home of some old friends of mine, who I believe to live in a wormhole, a C1 to be specific.
Since almost all kinds of services are available in Eve, I wonder where I should go to get a hand in finding their hole?
I'm scanning for them myself, but finding people in a specific hole without the possibility of rolling is quite an undertaking.

Thanks in advance.

They're not as anxious to rekindle old friendships as I am, so that approach wouldn't quite work.

Just post around offering a bounty for finding the wormhole, some people actually specialise in this.

You can also notify some of the wormhole seller groups that you are interested in a specific system.

Running locator agents on them when they log in. Try catch one in a trade hub and follow him home.

this method works well - done it many times to find targets i'm hunting.

goto http://eve-tools.com/watchlists/ (in-game browser) and search for whoever's corp. then either manually click each person to add to watch list (or use the amazing auto add.)

Leave a toon at any lvl 4 locator agent (preferable one near another one you can travel to.) Then whenever someone is online, do a location search on them. When you finally get a location of one, send a different alt to that system to start following them (can be a noskilled noob alt.) Send your locator agent toon to the next locator agent and search for that same person again. This way you can reroute the alt that was heading to the previous system. If you got a 3rd nearby locator agent, head there now to do another ping (assuming your alt hasnt already located the mark.)

When you find the person to follow, just keep following him gate to gate til you see him warp off into dead-space. Then send a prober to that system and start scanning. In the case of a C1, guaranteed k-space connection, so very likely you only have to scan down one WH and not a chain of WHs.

If you're lazy and not poor you can join the "Locates are us" channel for instant locates at 5mil a pop instead of using your own locator agents too.

Contact Foedus Latro in game. I've never seen a person hunt WH groups like he can. He found our home WH in ~21 hours from the time we opened the challenge to him and his former corp.

i know for a fact that you can make a deal with your locator, so you can BULK Price xD

But yeah the only two Options are:
- Wait in a Tradehub (help yourself visually with special color standing and the compact list feature)
- Stalk certain Wormholeplayers (Killmails are good for finding out who lives in a certain wormhole ... sometimes lossmails are more accurate)

Its litterally wait and see... or you pay a new recruit some cash for the location...
