If I could actually manage to find some Frostline sites I'd have more to report (only one in about 6 hours of searching). So far, nothing other than the standard drops and a few items of upgraded clothing.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Leave highsec, look for those sites in wormhole systems

Only a few days into the month long event and people are already growing bored of it. I said this event would be a let down as soon as the loot drops were revealed. Boring loot drops, they could have made it interesting like the blood raider event and given event only items that everyone found useful.

I think the Serpentis shirts that drop should say "I raided a Serpentis installation and all I got was this t-shirt"

Yup. Poke your nose into wormholes. Been seein' them everywhere.

I was in a hole that had 8 of them last night.

Ran two and got bored so moved on.

For those people saying go to the WH... what kind of WH am I looking for as I know nothing about them. Is a plain vexor good enough?

Any kind of wormhole.

The Frostline sites are the same difficulty no matter where they're located, as far as I know!

Scan all sigs in system, find wormhole, jump in, check your overview for Frostline sites, bookmark exit, run sites and try not to die to other pilots. Pirate

Last night I went on a roam to a bunch of random low population highsec areas didn't see a single site. was on my way back when I found a site and ran it uncontested 2 jumps from jita. got a vindicator bpc out of it.

After that I went on a WH roam with some other SC members. ran a few in highsec while looking for a WH, also did a guristas 4/10. Eventually found a wormhole with 5 sites, another with 2, and a few with 0. Got a dress and a skirt out of it. Was with 2 others and we rotated drops, neither of them got anything outside of the normal drops aka M + F shirt and a quafe zero.

on comms a member reported seeing a lot of sites out in 0.0. With the highly random nature of the drops it almost seems better to just ignore them and continue on with day to day activities. Although it sounds like as we get closer to Christmas the drops might change?

Vexor is overkill, honestly you could afk it. if your super worried about ship losses, fit warp core stabs.

remember to bring up Directional Scan (perhaps watch a youtube if your not sure how)

Also check zKill - to check if anyone has died in the wormhole your in. especially anyone dying with serpentis rats adding to the dmg count & appearing in the list of killers.

Make safe spots - check youtube

echoing the opinion that the sites are the same globally, whether run in HS, LS Null or WH its the same site.

good luck!

Last week did my first operation frostline site somewhere in hisec, got an implant worth 150mil with the clothing/quafe lootdrop. Haven't gotten any 'shiny' lootdrops since from the event sites. Tho, I am swimming in clothes. Found a WH with around 6-8 sites, and they kept respawning. Was easy in a Hecate. Doing it in a Vexor would be easy aswell. Frigate with long range weaponry/speed tank would be doable aswell, but slow. Have fun ^^

I've gotten jack sh*t from the handful of Operation Frostline sites I've run in high-sec.
Glad to hear other players are at least having some fun/luck with them, though.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

I got a PLEX from a highsec site, but that was just some RNG jackpot. Highsec OF sites are hard to find, hard to succeed and pointless to win.

I kinda expected a little more fun for my efforts after spending 3 days traveling 400+ systems.

Of course, CCP would claim that we should be going to WHs. And then I would ask them to pay their salaries from WH subscriptions alone, too. Roll
