My Wormhole guide has been made out of date by the expansion EVE:Online Oddessy. A New Version is being worked on and will be released shortly.


The Complete Unknown has now been re-released in a revised, expanded and spellchecked form. v1.01

The Complete Unknown is a work in progress guide to hopefully answer most of the questions there are about wormhole space, and will be expanded to cover many other aspects of inter-linked EVE gameplay as well.

This guide has taken several months to turn from a collection of ideas to a fully edited .PDF, complete with excellent artwork for the cover.


It features one of the most up to date and current collections of material on w-space, and is scheduled for an update next month to include an in-depth section on T3 production, complete with original diagrams. Also to be included is a chapter on Arek'Jaalan and the new live events CCP have organized to iterate on wormholes.


If you have any thoughts about somthing that could be added to the guide, or a section with missing information, or there is a mistake you notice You can EVE-mail me. I am also available for comment on any wormhole questions that you have, and hang out in the "LSE Public Chat" channel, when online.

If you feel in a generous mood, ISK dontaions can be sent directly to myself, "Lorkin Desal". There will be no compulsory fee for this guide, ever, and any websites that claim to be allowed to charge for access to this guide may not, under any circumstances, do so.

While you're onto adding stuff to the wiki, how about adding

Friendly bump for a good friend and a master wormholer (that just sounds wrong...). This guide is truly a must read, if you're in a wormhole or plan doing anything related to them.

My arse. If I'm on, I'm either doing PI, scanning, scouting, shooting something, harvesting something, discussing loadouts, discussing tactics, gettng paid, or a combination thereof.

If you got the skills, you can make your own game and play it how you like. Even if you prefer to stare at pos shields (but you won't get paid for that).

Great guide Lorkin. I learnt more reading this guide than spending the last 10 months living in a wormhole!

Instead of going to bed I ended up reading the entire guide, and it looks great! Tons of useful information, loads of aspects covered. Basically I now want to live in a wormholeP

Does the guide say anything about being a moron and getting stuck on the high sec side for like the billionth time in a row? "Sure ill make it back before it closes" Yeah right.

Nice effort. A beautifully presented addition to the publically available w-space information. Well done, I love the front cover and will look forward to revisions and additions as they evolve.

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.

Argh... just read through your guide and typed lots of notes and after pressing 'review' my post was gone.

However:
Nice guide.

Some points (I might have missed or not being mentioned in the guide):
- D-scan doesn't always cover the whole system
- WH-effects are only mentioned in one example near the end
- pos setup, alternative pve fleets would have been nice to read about
- bookmark managing and distribution is a vital part
- signature ids are renewing itself after every downtime
- scanning strategies to cut down scan-time are important (deep space probe scanning, scan down until type visible, then ignore, scan known bms first,...)


And one really subjective point:
I find the importance of faction scanning equipment or dedicated implants overrated. Most important thing you need is practice (and astrometrics pinpointing and a dedicated cov-ops scan-frig ;)). I often scan down whole systems with just normal combat probes and this works fast and fine.

Very nice guide. One thing to point out. On your explanation of how wormholes work, you define a static as;

Quote:
This means that it respawns in a different location in our system every 24 hours


This is not correct. A static wormhole, or any wormhole originating on your side,ie not K162, will stay indefinitely until someone initiates warp to it. This is true of all sig types that spawn in your system. I have managed to keep some signatures (Ladars specifically) for up to a month before someone warped to them.
