New Eden's Epic Arc Community

Hub for Epic Arc Missioners

Guides, Teamwork and more


Ingame Channel : "Epic Arc Community"


Hi All,

I'm introducing a channel/community for Epic Arc Missioners to meet, talk about the arcs and potentially work together to make the Epic Arcs more enjoyable.

What it offers is :

- Community for Epic Arc Missioners.
- Guides written specifically for blitzers which are updated for 2014.
- Moderated chat to discourage scammers/objective stealers/ninjas etc.
- We welcome professional salvagers who wish to make money supporting Epic Arc Crews.

Potentially - Organized group fleets for doing the epic arcs regularly.

My Written Guides :

Caldari : http://eve-files.com/dl/271097

Feel free to discuss the Epic Arcs, suggestions for the community, ideas or alterations for the guides or anything else related to the epic arcs in this forum thread or in the ingame channel.

If you're looking for Jowen Datloran's work (One of Eve's first Epic Arc Guide authors and generally awesome guy) check out his Lorebook Here : lorebook.eve-inspiracy.com

As for the two pirate arcs, they are superbly well covered already ...


The thread is locked, coz I have not been actively bumping it recently, but the product / service is still available ... and still selling steadily. Obviously I am not without a degree of vested interest in this matter but the guide really is quite excellent, and the bookmark collection a joy to behold - even if you're a ceptor pilot.

I guess I am almost a 'vet' by now. Hopefully not too bitter and managing to help more than I hinder. I build and sell many things, including large collections of bookmarks.

Substantia Nigra,

You can get the thread unlocked, just report it and ask for it to be unlocked. I did it to 'The Plan' thread a while back. If ISD/CCL doesn't do it, file a Support Ticket about it.

Glad to see some discussion going on here, particularly with two well known epic arc/faction standings repair plan dudes Big smile

Thanks for the posted guides! I'll be writing my own so the style is consistent but it's appreciated until then.

Be sure to join the channel if you want to meet other epic arc runners and work together Smile

Thanks for the compliment.

With some help from other players, I've been in the process of updating and reformatting the Epic Arc Mission Reports to make sure they're current. So far Minmatar and Amarr are done and Gallente is almost completed. Next will be Caldari and then the Sisters Of Eve Epic Arc.

Besides making sure the mission stats are updated with current info such as NPC count, EWAR, damage type, etc, I'm also including Mission Objective along with Warnings, Notes, Tips and Blitz info as well.

The reformatting part is to make sure all the pages have the same lay-out, same Header info, etc. It's a lot of work which takes quite a bit of time. After these arc pages are completed, it won't take much time or effort in the future to keep these pages updated and current.

I wasn't planning on mentioning 'The Plan' since it's already well know. However I will say it's got quite a comprehensive list of Event Agents in it, along with guide links and info.

Hopefully this info will help. Good luck with your project.

i have 2 alts, with high standings between the 4 races that i did epic arcs on.

its a shame you can do them once every 3 months. and my alts will be down longer now since the price of plex has gone up and my physics instructor is a socialist dictator with class

Ahhh brilliant, thanks. Apologies OP, for the minor hijacking here.

p.s. When I first started toying with the lvl4 epic arcs I found Jowen Datloren's (?or name spelled soemthing like that) PDF guides to be very helpful.

Jowen Datloran definitely deserves recognition and credit for his contribution to the Eve Community. He was one of the first to actually document the Epic Arcs. Since then a lot of people have used his Lorebook for reference info when creating guides.

I spoke to Jowen before he left Eve about updating his guides to be more accurate and he said he was fine with it, however since he's now on an extended break rather than just go ahead and use his material I preferred to use my own.

He absolutely deserves credit for pioneering this field and it's my desire to build on his projects and make a resource that is just as useful today as his were when first published that made me create a community like this Big smile

I am planning to start doing lvl 4 arcs for all factions, so this thread is of much interest to me :)
Currently getting skilled into a Raven, and working on my standings needed to start arcs for other factions...

My recent experience says the warp times involved and the sheer travel involved have really hurt the isk/hr to way below normal missioning.

I recently completed all 4 Epic Arcs and chose the paths that would increase faction standing over those that gave the best ISK rewards. After completion I had roughly 700-800 million ISK. As I blitzed whenever possible and did not salvage variations could come from bounties etc. Each Faction Arc took approximately 6-8 hours at a casual pace. Even with choosing the ISK rewards instead of straight standings I believe the income would have only been about 300 million higher, which is still quite below the expected missioning income/hour.

You get a (the same) faction standing reward regardless of the ending you choose. Just sayin'.
