This, for me, sums up the Shadow of Serpent

Bronze box:
- Men's 'Marshal' Jacket (Serpentis),
- Copper Ouroboros,
- Atron Serpentis SKIN (Permanent),
- Women's 'Gunner' Jacket (Serpentis).

Silver box:
- Thorax Serpentis SKIN (Permanent),
- Brutix Serpentis SKIN (Permanent),
- Iteron Mark V Serpentis SKIN (Permanent),
- Silver Ouroboros.

Gold box:
- Vehement Blueprint (1 run),
- Men's Scope Special Correspond Suit,
- Hyperion Serpentis SKIN (Permanent),
- Gold Ouroboros,
- Women's Scope Special Correspond Suit.

At the same time the gold box became redeemable some more items were redeemable:
- Festival Launcher,
- 200 Sodium firework.
- 200 Barium Firework,
- 200 Copper firework.
- Tristan Quafe SKIN (Permanent).

Items from Vaults at shipyards:
- 2x Low-Grade Asklepian Delta
- 1x Low-Grade Asklepian Gamma
- 2x Mid-Grade Asklepian Beta
- 1x Mid-Grade Asklepian Gamma
- 1x Mid-grade Asklepian Omega
- 526x Serpentis Modified Capital Microprocessor

- isk from bounties about 650M

Was it worth the time, yes I think so. Thanks CCP.

Was sucked about the Challenges
- every thing which required drifter kills
- that mining challenge for half a million of that larger ore that would have taken me more than three hours to mine
- the challenges that required killing guards, lots of wrecks at the gates never managed to kill 20 before the timer ran out
- there was something else that don't remember

Last note, the blueprint needs 2000 of the microprocessors.

when you consider the actual time you spent, was it really worth it?

it would be for lots of people if the bpc didn't have the best part of 40b of resources listed on it to build, which would be more than 'total career' level resources for lots of players.

Also, if you just do shipyards, you get a lot more implants over the course of the event. I've had 2 high-grade omegas, and sold nearly 3B in implants total and I'm only at 33000 points, and I'm close to 1000 chips already. The other part of that strategy is to do shipyards in places where there is no competition, which usually also stacks up the number of shipyards and reduces the warping, looking, jumping type overheads.

The accelerators are being bought for characters that can't use injectors effectively, ie you can probably exchange the 3 for an injector if you can use the injector, or cash if you just wanted isk.

Lastly its distracted a lot of combat explorers, increased their isk generation and reduced overstocks of a lot of deadspace items, which has arrested the slow declines in prices and in many cases given a solid bump to them. As I do deds before I do the shipyards in a system, I'm not seeing an overall drop in my income vs time.

I think it does not depend on the event because everyone get them. I have no single point in the event and I have them.

For me yes, wanted to get me the blueprint so 'farmed' to the gold box.

For the people that only care about isk per hour then probably not.

Hm, a stupid question: Why did you get all 3 boxes? Did you actually make 10000+25000+50000 points or is it that the points are NOT subtracted once you claim one of the boxes so that you can get all 3 boxes with 50000 points?

Points aren't subtracted, so all you need to do is get to 50k.

I have yet to find a single implant

the main problem, the whole idea is a rather tedious fiasco. as too often you do not get enough kills before the timer runs out

Thanks! Somehow I thought the points work like loyalty points. I'll reach 10k probably today, I'm curious what I'll get in the bronze box... Roll

I'm fairly sure everyone gets the same thing? Might be wrong though.


And really Tina Mori? Do you usually get to the container first or does someone else usually get it? And try going into less traveled parts of high (or null or wh). They're fairly common, especially if you're not trying for prime time on the weekends lol

That was the consolation prize that everyone got, for Iceland making it to the quarter-finals in the Euro Cup (soccer / football).

Glad to hear you found it entertaining, I wish I could say the same.

For me it felt too grindy and linear without any difference between each site, which made it incredibly boring for me.

They are piling up in wormhole space, because they are fairly ******* pointless. Normally when the sites hold something quasi useful I'll run them.. but for the majority of these they are just a waste of time. Congrats on getting to gold, but the whole concept was such a let down compared to the original blood raiders event.

Step 1: Have huge successful fun event.
Step 2: Try again, but put in **** rewards.
Step 3: Realize that it failed, implement daily opportunities, see it fail to get people to log in, use both failures to come up with another idea using both failed ideas.
Step 4: Have people run sites, get 0 points, get **** rewards, **** these events in general.

i just got silver but i'm not going to make it to gold.

it's been a reasonable diversion

got 2 gold , 1 silver and 1 bronze skill boosters in my silver box which was nice -1b isk plus 3 skins

i liked the idea but one thing i would definitely change is being able to reject missions- 50 drifters? incursions? with maybe a 24hr cooldown like missions and get rid of the time limits- if i'm going to do a quest, let me finish it as some take a while and i cant play 24/7

of all 30+ shipyards i have done i got the same amount of implants: 0.

Stopped to do it by myself and just whored 2 alts to high-seccers doing shipyards. Got up to solver level in few weeks and called it a day.
From 2 silver+bronze caskets got like 1-1.5 billion ISK of stuff.

I was doing shipyards in 0.0 where you don't have competition. So yes, chips was the only prize.

btw: looking at amount of shipyards in our space i feel bad for high-secLol It should be difficult to find one
