Missions & Complexes

The Epic arcs are usually a mixture of courier and security missions, some have hacking elements. They are longer and usually a bit more difficult than the regular missions of that level, they give good ISK and have some storyline ... but finally it's the same mission grind / PVE kind of thing as the regular missions. The more fun arcs are those for the pirates, because they happen in nullsec ...

For your problem, would suggest opening a ticket and ask for reset of the arc.

The SoE Epic Arc is repeatable every 3 months (unless that has changed)

I don`t see how you could have got stuck

Anyhow, petition for a reset

I originally thought the SoE repeat was 6 months .. but it does seem to be every 3.

offhand eve-survival also has walkthroughs for these as well as the regular missions

SoE one is worth it if you can blitz it as quick as possible. I found the quickest ship was a travel fit dramiel, with a decent combat ship parked in arnon for the last mission or two.

Yeah...I popped back into the game after an 18 month break. Thought I'd do SOE arc to get back in the swing.

Found that when I had run it before I failed to execute the final turn-in.

Petitioned for a reset.

Good news/Bad news: I got the reset...just reset the final turn-in. 5 minutes later and I'm on a 90-day cooldown

It's actually 90 days, not 3 months, unless everyone that has told me that over the years has been collectively and equally wrong (not beyond the realm of possibility, mind you). Players getting "stuck" in missions is actually a rather routine occurrence from what I gather, especially within the Arcs. I'd repeat what others have recommended, but that's rather redundant, just that I agree with them.

SoE Arc is good for the standings boost it gives since it's A) selective who you get a boost with, B) is a pretty big bump, and C) offers no derived penalty to rival factions. The other L4 Arcs tend to be little better than any usual string of 15-20 L4 missions you normally run through anyways, though the Amaar Arc has nice imp (and some opportunities to loot Amaar Navy tags without incurring the standings hits associated with anti-faction missions) as reward at the end that fetches a descent price still. I'm sure the others have a unique reward as well at the end. Once I've better improved my rather hideous standings with the Gallente and Minmatar, I'll have an opportunity to run those Arcs as well. I've never done the Pirate Arcs before, so I couldn't tell you if they are worth the time and effort, though what little I have heard of them is at least somewhat optimistic.

Also, something else just in case, though admittedly this could just be me. The Arcs give you a rather unique ability to request, accept, and even turn in many of their missions remotely. Normally, this is a very helpful feature that makes up for a lot of the travel you tend to have to do to run them. Just be aware that not all of them can be and that this can become an issue if you are not paying attention to whether or not you have in fact accepted said missions or not. Lest you find yourself accidentally making a 13 jump trip in a battleship just to realize that the mission you thought you accepted was only offered and not yet accepted and now you have to turn around and make the same trip another two times. In other words, make sure the mission you think you're on actually appears below your navigation route/system information to the left of your screen. You'd be surprised how easily you can forget to do that sometimes.

I ran the Angel Epic Arc about 6 months ago and it was really well done. The big reward is a nice target painter and a Cynabal BPC which together are like 250-310m I think. (It's been a while)

I had to grind Republic Security Service standings which was super boring, but once you start the arc it's much different from normal missions, the sites are alot more polished and even the dialogue is interesting. If you're a nerd for lore you'll like it as much as I did.

I chose to use a Jaguar to run the missions with and was more than adequate.

The 90-day clock doesn't start ticking until the final turn-in. So if you plan to 'farm' the arc, then it makes sense to complete it as quickly as possible.
