No, I haven't played in several months. When I was I would usually go up into Paragon Soul if it wasn't too busy, although I travelled all around null.
Another thing I noticed is that you can bypass almost all firewalls etc if you travel in straight diagonal lines and create Xs with the path you travel across the nodes. It’s hard to explain but the most of the time the board’s layout hints at the correct path just by the availability of the diagonal node paths that don’t have breaks in them. When you go outside of this pattern, you will run into firewalls much more frequently.
Then learn to read their alphabet. Most of the Cyrillic comments in Eve are pretty normal (doesn't even have to be Russian, can be Ukrainian or Bulgarian).
Don't use wrench on restoration nodes because it counts as a move.. instead attack the node first then wrench.. You can use the item that half its strength but never pop a wrench. It will provide you with an extra move later on
I think the best time to teach someone something is close to when you fully have learned it. You explained clearly and slowly enough that it clicked. I've heard folk spew out the info too quickly. This was good.
one other thing I forgot to add. mobile. depots can be quite handy, the astero has a large cargo bay for a frigate and you can afford to keep a mobile depot with you to change to a PvP oriented fit or store your best blue loot and bpc before you try a ghost site then if you die you can at least run out in an interceptor and retrieve your. best loot as mobile depots. can't be killed in one day they get reinforced. I have stoped doing ghost sites though cuz I lost like 3 ships to dumb mistakes. stratios is better to tank the damage. if you happen to fail a hack or drift out of range.
thank you for explaining this, i used to always struggle with explo, even tho it was my main source of isk. when i come back to eve i will have to remember this
nice, I've been doing this a while and never noticed that rule of 6 lol... Other variants to using the astero, for very low budget, each faction has a T1 frigate with scanning and hacking bonuses. And beyond that, instead of using an interceptor, covert ops ships is where you'd want to go, they rival the astero in many ways. But the Astero is a very easy ship to get into.
I started EO 6 weeks as a miner did ok but not enough ISK. I tried the explorer path with a new character, and the game version of instruction was laughable. Had I instruction floor factory people how to electronically report production I would have been let go. Retire now and play EVE thanks for the instruction. very clear and I will look you up for a fitting video for noobs. 👍✌🥃
i find where you start on the board and go diagonally across from where you start is where the hotspot is. usually straight or diagonally opposite from the entry point. i didnt know about the rule of six so now it will be easier to find where it is. thanks for the video!!
Some clarification questions: - is the core ~always~ within one jump of a safespot? Or do we just know that if we find anything in a safespot ~then~ it is within one jump? - does "find ~anything~ in a safespot" include utility things or mysteries? EDIT: and do you have a source for that? Is that proven somewhere or did that just got used by a bunch of people and never seemed to fail?
If you ever find something bad (Firewall, Anti-Virus, etc) in a a Safe spot you are one jump from the core. Other than that Safe Spot are just Safe Spots that help you clear the board more easily while searching for the Core.
Holy Moly . . . EVE pro Guides, this video was probably the best guide of any EvE guides I have ever seen !!! Fantastic guide my friend !! I love exploring and hacking but never knew this 'rule of 6' and the '2nd rule of 6'. With this information hacking is going to be so much better, fun and rewarding !!!!! Thank you so much for this !! o7
good video. but I had terrible trouble even after watching this before finding the core. I noticed there are a couple of "Boards" that have no "Rule of 6's" and some that have just one. I got there in the end and I doubt I would have without watching this video. So thank you :) Im book marking it just incase I need to watch it again
Just to throw this out there, if you are committed to being a full time explo, you can scan down sites and wormholes with combat scan probes. This adds just another layer of hesitation for anyone thinking of ganking explorers when then see combat probes vs core probes.
I've been doing null-sec exploration part-time for a few months. Started with Imicus, and considering using a CovOps ship like Helios as opposed to Astero, as it's cheaper and I have the CovOps skill to 4 so I think the scanning bonus is better. Also faster recloak time. Is this a good idea or is there another reason Astero would be the better choice?
Yes, Covops frig is slightly better in scanning, but you cannot fight anything you come along. in a astero with the right fit, you can fight any explorer/covops frig easily. provided you have atleast somewhat decent drone skills.
i gave up Astero for the helios. extra mid i find better. i carry a depot to swap in the analyzer type i need. never look for pvp. 250 mil my best haul.
How do you find 15 million in one container? Best I found was 2mil but I got killed because it was an 'unsafe site'. I'm now doing safe sites only but the best I get (if I'm lucky) is one million ISK.
The lower the null sec, the higher the NPC levels are. IE, if you can handle bots in 0.9 sec, you will be ONE SHOTTED, FASTER THEN THE SERVER CAN HANDLE IT, by bots in negative 1.0 sec space. A helpful tip I wish these guys would just help us out with. Come on. Simple things.
I'd love to work with you in game. I took a few years off eve and a lot has changed. I'm back, but holy hell I didn't realize how amazing it has become.
cool things to know, but i dont think its going to help me. After you do them so much i dont think the rule of 6 is very helpful, seems too slow too. I rush through them like im about to die =P Also, correct me if I'm wrong, (cause i usually am) but using the wrench before doing the resto node that increases the others health is a bad idea cause it gives it one extra tick when you click the wrench? Love your videos btw, watch at least one every day while working
@@ChumWaffle Egoists. Instead of hacking _all objects on the site, they scan them and crack only with expensive loot. And fly away. The site does not disappear, which slows down the updating of sites in the constellation.
doesn't work anymore. Tested it with 10 relic and data sites. only a handful of cans were valid to this rule, the majority was not. It's most likely coincidence atm
Safe spots just mean there's nothing bad in them most the time. However if you find something bad in a safe spot as you see later in the video, that means you are one jump from the core.
The sites you get in wh are mostly guarded, so a little frig wont do you any good there. You need at least a stratios to run datasites there. And you are safe in deep nullsec if you aren´t tailed.
I've been playing eve since like 2008, but ive taken years off here and there. I'm not familiar with the astero or any of those ships, can someone tell me why the astero is so popular? I use a Buzzard as my exploration ship and I love it, I was just wondering if there was a reason for me to switch to the astero?
Astero can be a decent little combat frigate with a focus on drones as well as an exploration ship. Covert ops are better scanners/ hackers but your only defence is running away. Astero pilots also quite regularly make money from exploration not by hacking but rather warping in on other explorers, popping them and taking their loot.
This is not 100% true. I ran into a hack the other day that had a supposed "Safe Spot" and it had a virus suppressor. After killing the supressor I clicked on all 6 nodes around it and the final core hack was not there. One thing I noticed is that the numbers that appear on the nodes not only tell you how far you are from a "Good Thing" or a "Mystery Item" but they can also tell you how far you are from the core as well.
From what I know, don;t go into wormholes if all your running is a heron with t1 stuff and a few points into hacking/archaeology. You'll only have like 70 coherance and everything is like 80 to defeat and theres like 10 of them per hack.
if there's something in the middle of a 6 spot, then the core is definitely 1j away. if the middle is empty, the core COULD still be 1j away, but it's not guaranteed to be.
I never really noticed this. Probably because I usually have a fleet of murderous Russians hot on my tail when I'm exploring.
No, I haven't played in several months. When I was I would usually go up into Paragon Soul if it wasn't too busy, although I travelled all around null.
@@JLConawayII finally we found you.
The Russians cause me anxiety
Wait until their drunk asses are passed out....
Expeditetools,com helped me financially .All thanks to em i got a transfer of $31,000 to my bank account .
Pro Tip :D Right click your Data/Relic Analyzer, set Auto Repeat OFF. So whenever you fail a hack you dont have to wait for cycle to finish.
Geez, i have been manually pulsing it, your tip makes it way easier.
Flashgasm u just saved 10 hours of my life
wow - handy
CCP is about to make them shut off after 1 cycle with no option to repeat.

It’s hard to explain but the most of the time the board’s layout hints at the correct path just by the availability of the diagonal node paths that don’t have breaks in them. When you go outside of this pattern, you will run into firewalls much more frequently.
It bothers me how few people realize you can use the wrenches as soon as you get them to have a huge buffer right away
comments 3 years ago: the russians give me anxiety
me now: okay the russians give me anxiety
Then learn to read their alphabet. Most of the Cyrillic comments in Eve are pretty normal (doesn't even have to be Russian, can be Ukrainian or Bulgarian).
It was amazing . Thankyou man , i had hard time in hacking , because without these rules i was randomly running through them and failing many .
When you say find something in a safe spot, does that include the tools or just the defensive/offensive subsystems?
Don't use wrench on restoration nodes because it counts as a move.. instead attack the node first then wrench.. You can use the item that half its strength but never pop a wrench.
It will provide you with an extra move later on
Wrenches give you extra life, click them immediately! I don’t understand your comment.
I think the best time to teach someone something is close to when you fully have learned it. You explained clearly and slowly enough that it clicked. I've heard folk spew out the info too quickly. This was good.
I make it a rule to never trust anyone who draws their threes and fives STARTING FROM THE BOTTOM LIKE WTH
Hahahahah 😂

Good video, I was going crazy over failing at the harder ones. This will for sure help a ton.
Still more fucking entertaining than mining...
I watch tv while I mine lol

Yes
100 000 000 ISK in one wormhole
But 3 sites 2 data sites and one relic site by only one Heron's ship !
It's awesome.
Will you paste your ship fit here? I can't tell even in 1080 HD what your modules are.

Done a lot of exploration but did not know this. Thanks for the tip

Good tip for WH space, do not do this in nulsec, it most likely will get you more attention than you seek.
Excellent guide. I had no clue about these principles. Very informative.
i only get 30k isk in every mission and i hear people get 1million isk how do they do that?

so mainly use Wormholes to take our precious loots to Highsec? if going through Low should have more danger? thnx for the guides!!
Can i use cloak with Alpha clone status???
Did those bright circles used to not be ANYTHING cause they are frequently, at least from my experiences, some good stuff and less often bad stuff.
Did not know this. Great, thorough explanation!

use wrenches as soon as u get em. so u get a tick b4 next reveal
thanks for all your tutorials man
I really appreciate them
Get rid of the data analyzer and get a cargo scanner. ISK per hour will almost double.
How do you use the cargo scanner to make isk?
@@ChumWaffle Egoists. Instead of hacking _all objects on the site, they scan them and crack only with expensive loot. And fly away. The site does not disappear, which slows down the updating of sites in the constellation.
Can you share some of you market methods to do isk?
One of the best I've seen!
great video, thanks for the rule of 6 never heard of this before.
Good to know.
Quite lucky timing that I find this video just as I was starting to explore ;)
Fly safe o7
Johnny Splunk streamed this, was that where you saw it?
No I first saw it on Crasskitty's stream but she learned it from someone else, so who know where it started.
+EVE Pro Guides - EVE Online PVP and ISK Guides got ya, I think she was with him when he showed her
you explain the safe spots with your drawing tool, but your actual moves do not reflect the strategy you were taking about
I trashed my relic analyser???
doesn't work anymore. Tested it with 10 relic and data sites. only a handful of cans were valid to this rule, the majority was not. It's most likely coincidence atm
Wow man. ty. These might get me back into exploration a bit.
Great stuff, been winging it on that mini game. Just when I was elite on the old way. They change it 😡
Doesn't the very first hack disprove the theory as there wasn't anything at the safe-spot next to the core as you said there would be?
Safe spots just mean there's nothing bad in them most the time. However if you find something bad in a safe spot as you see later in the video, that means you are one jump from the core.
Oh ok thanks.
Thank you for this video. Faster and easier to make isk.
That helps quite a bit. Thanks for making it.
Are Null Sec sites more valueable than Wormhole sites? Because you only mention to go to Null sec.
JysN seems like most who sites are guarded whereas you can find non-NBC occupied sites in low and null, just my personal experience
The sites you get in wh are mostly guarded, so a little frig wont do you any good there. You need at least a stratios to run datasites there. And you are safe in deep nullsec if you aren´t tailed.
JysN if we're talking value, WH sleeper sites are the best, but since they're guarded, they can't really be done solo.
There are also "null sec sites" in wh space. you can identify them by having a faction in their name. for example "sansha blabla Data Center"

Let me also say that the rule of 6's has worked for me on over a hundred sites but it has a small chance of not working.
This works great my hacking has gotten significantly faster with less fails now. Thanks!
didnt expect Brad Pitt to teach me how to hack relic sites today
From what I know, don;t go into wormholes if all your running is a heron with t1 stuff and a few points into hacking/archaeology. You'll only have like 70 coherance and everything is like 80 to defeat and theres like 10 of them per hack.
I'm able to hack in wormholes with a t1 Heron as a new player. As long as I follow basic strategy.
nice vid, gonna defo try that cheers for the info. got yourself a new sub :)
why do these vids have to be so long. Does it really take 16 minutes to explain this?
I get everything except where to sign in
is this still working?
Thank you for this! EXTREMELY useful!
All I want right now is HOW DOES A PERSON "SIGN IN" ?
Thank you for the info.
im a noob. from what i understand the astero is arguably the best for exploration. what are the other main exploration ships?
T1 explo frigs; cheap, so easy to replace and good to learn in.
Cov ops are another option
T3 cruisers like the tengu can also make extremely potent explorers, able to do the sleeper sites solo maximising the loot from each hole
thanks dude, really helpful
Good info man. Thanks.
Kinda like mine sweeper?
Great video, and watch out for ghost sites
Thank you for the Tips man really saved my time thank you.
Useful video, appreciate it
Sometimes this doesn’t work
that is a good sign the rule works because you always have some exceptions from rules :D
Great tips, thanks
The video starts at 1:50.
and 2nd part is 9:51
Amazing upload.
5:13 nothing in midle but core is still in the 6? ...
if there's something in the middle of a 6 spot, then the core is definitely 1j away. if the middle is empty, the core COULD still be 1j away, but it's not guaranteed to be.

Huh didnt know that... I aswell do most pvp so thanks for sharing Mate
thanks for sharing your knowledge about explo! o/
nice rules of six.
just send them into high sec wormholes in t1 frigs that's what i do for exploration
16 mins for something that should take 2 minutes, i hate videos like this. get to the point already.
This reminds me of Minesweeper.
You are a master!
Thank you!
Thanks dude
ty so much!!
thanks for this
thank you ! exellent
this trick helped me clear a ghost site :D
what local chat... WHspace doesnt have local
well you are neither warping from gate to gate in WH either. so doesn't really apply on your case.
I've never heard of Eve for hacking I've only used Kali Linux in the past. I'll have to check it out thanks
Much appreciated:D
