Bloody Omir is back! And with him comes the Crimson Harvest.


The leader of the Sani Sabik extremist cult has taken the initiative after the death of Empress Jamyl I and the attacks of Drifters on the Amarr Empire. He is on the roll with small, swift attacks all over the universe. Victims will be merciless drained of all their blood for reasons beyond the sane mind.

Between October 20 and November 2 you can fight those scary Blood Raiders in Blood Raider Gauntlets. If you are successful you will get SKINs and a chance for a 24 hour limited attribute enhancer (+10 or +12 attribute points for 24 hours). Those attribute enchancers will become defunct after November 2.

Check out all the info and perks coming with the Crimson Harvest!


Thanks for the event!

One question I have: if I purchase the 100€ package (from here: https://secure.eveonline.com/AurStore/?_ga=1.80864279.1027521904.1412013501 ), do I get the Executioner and the Omen skin too or just the Harbinger?
(would be a bummer really, to have to fork out 170€ for plain mirrored skins like these)

I don't belive in reincarnation I've never believed in it in my previous lives either...

Loved the event, its fun to run the sites and it creates content around...
I hope more PvE content is created in the future like this.

But, site spawn rate should be toned a little bit down (this things are everywere), and site should be a little bit harder to run (running them in like 3-5 mins for a up to 400m payout is op), maybe add a chance for a BR leader on a bs to drop on you and point you... maybe the frigs should point too.

Would like to know. I was thinking of buying two bundles but if I am only going to receive a Harbinger then maybe not. Seems like it should have each ship from the previous bundle. (Omen having Executioner) (Harbinger + Omen + Executioner)

I'm both surprised and grateful that the 'baddon SKIN drop was made Permanent. I assumed all in-game pirate drops would be 30 day including limited availability. Whomever flipped that coin is a pureblood Amarr, patron of armour tanking, and buzzkill of market speculators. Lol They'll win in the end of course, but not from me. Blink
Very pretty spatter.

Do not actively tank my patience.

Will you assist them, or try to quash their heretic preaching and vicious raids into the Empire?

Can we get a little elaboration on this please?

Does the amount of available Blood Raider Gauntlets still the same? Yesterday it was like 1 per sys, today - 1 per 25.

I think they mean it in the sense that some "Red Knights" (players) might try to defend the gauntlet sites from... looters.

Had the chance to plug one of these in. It isn't giving my character the desired affect. Training time didn't change at all. =( Fantastic idea, hopefully the bugs get sorted soon.

I injected the standard booster last night, which reduced my training time by for days but when I logged on this morning, it's had shot back up again.

CCP, I the booster is found to be not working properly, will those of us that injected the booster be given free sp?

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

is it intended that 100$ pack gives only ONE skin instead of 3 ?

I'm not actually complaining, but the spawn rate for these sites seems a bit high in some systems... maybe a bug?


I did maybe 3 of the sites in a system, and another one spawned 10 minutes later. So farmable... May want to double check the spawn rates for the sites in Nullsec and W-Space. Typically I found one or two of these sites in Lowsec, but I was puddle jumping into wormholes and finding this fairly frequently.

Not that it wasn't good content. Had a Flycatcher and Slepnir fleet try to gank me, but I saw them on scan before they landed. Also had a few sites contested in Lowsec.

It seems that respawn rate isn't equal in systems. Yesterday i spend 3 hours to wander around and found only two sites, one occupied by my alliance mate so no fighting.

We were running a timing experiment on it in Live Events.
Training an 8* skill from 0 to 1.
Should have been done in 49 minutes according to our maths.
Actually taking 57 minutes. Which matches unboosted time.

So it's certainly not working for some people as intended.


Guys, guys... it's a Blood Raider device! You must sprinkle it with blood for it to work! Bear

Looking at the "quality" of 3D models used in this video, we should be happy that CCP cancelled working on WiS.
Nowdays character animation standards are much higher than this. Sorry guys, i love overall look of EveOnline but this vid is straight terrible.

Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......

This for a short time gave me the eve I miss back, partly. People contest, kill, steal and swear over the drops, some whine about not finding any or being outrun, etc... I love it. Whoever had this idea, thank you.

This is eve as it should have always been. Hope to see it this way more often, even if you need a gold rush for that.

I found it a little funny that the blood raiders in the promo video found it necessary to write 'Blood Raiders' on the banners in the ritual chambers Lol

The spawn rate seems to have dropped significantly. Yesterday I could find the Blood Raider beacons anywhere. Today, nadda.

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

Not noticing any boost from the accelerators either. I'm beginning to suspect it might be more than a UI bug, but I could be wrong.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

Today's patch notes (Oct 21 at the bottom) say an issue has been fixed. This is true. I have no issue any more, but if you have one currently active -- and I assume for all going forward -- you must pause and unpause the skill queue to have the booster functionally applied.
