Is the "Humble Beginnings" mission still available? The links don't specify who gives the mission.

When I was getting the mission, it was from whatever agent I was using at the time.

I remember getting it myself in Amarr space, and I'm pretty sure an alt was getting it in Caldari space.

It was really annoying because only one mission can be declined every 4 hours, so I would just do it every time it popped-up.

No idea if the mission is still around.

lol more like 50 missions though many of them are deliveries.

50 missions in 3 hours? Hmmm . . .


Who told you it can be done in 3 hours ?

17 missions per hour is 3.5 minutes per mission including travel.

Many of the mission can be accepted and completed remotely but that seems very unlikely even in an interceptor.



Around 4 hours should be right, provided you use an Assault Frigate and blitz whereever possible.

A new player that kills everything, loots and salvages (and tries to follow the story) will take considerably longer.

I think that the SoE level 1 epic arc is good for new players that are looking for something to do. It takes you out into the universe and gets you running around. It gets you some isk and it teaches you somethings. Also helps you get rep with SoE which can come in handy down the road.

I'll link the epic arc page from eve-survival so that you can read up on it a bit

Not to forget, while you are doing the scenic tour around the 4 factions, get a nice little bit of starting fund...in the mean time, you are training skills.

It must be gone now. I did a few mission in Amarr space.

In time, I'll be able to point the next generation to this thread.

I highly recommend to all new players that they do the majority of the SOE arc in a frigate. You will be warping from system to system A LOT and Destroyers and Cruisers warp speed is much slower than frigates so it will be a huge drag doing it in a slower ship.

All the missions are doable in a low skill frigate until the final 1 (second to last is a little difficult too but doable). A lot of people do the final mission in a cruiser but it is easily doable in a fairly low skill Destroyer if you fit it correctly.

If that fails and you are still having a hard time find someone else that needs to get it done and tackle it together.


There are two other mission that can give new players trouble. One scrams you with frigates hard to hit with long range guns and the other one will neut. Three tricky missions out of 50 is not to bad really.
