EVE Online: The 5 best tips for beginners
In this practical tip, we reveal five beginner tips for EVE Online.
EVE Online Tip 1: Fixed skill plan
- As difficult as it is: you should decide on a direction early on and skill accordingly.
- As a mission runner, you invest your skill time in weapon and tank skills. If you don't specialize, you can do everything, but nothing correctly. Plan your skills with EveMon.
EVE Online Tip 2: Stay in high sec
There are different security areas in EVE Online. As a beginner without accompaniment by Corp members, you should only stay in high sec.
- High-Sec: Security level 1.0 - 0.5, here you will only be attacked by other players in exceptional cases.
- Low-Sec: security level 0.4-0.1, at stations and Wapr gates you are relatively safe.
- 0.0: Security level 0.0, here you can be shot anytime, anywhere.
EVE Online Tip 3: Skills first, then the ship
- If you want to fly a new ship, you should first have the necessary skills and ISK.
- As a rule of thumb, you should have enough money to buy the ship twice. This will help you avoid bankruptcy if you are shot down. Insurance also costs ISK, but is worth it if your ship is shot down.
EVE Online Tip 4: Use community benefits
The space game EVE Online is very complex - but the community always helps you.
- Use the in-game rookie chat channel. There you can ask your questions at any time.
- For German-language help, you should visit the EveGer forum.
- A novice corporation is also particularly helpful. The members even help you with difficult missions or mine ores in space with you.
EVE Online Tip 5: Use helpful tools
With the right tools, you are also prepared for everything in space.
- EveMon and Eve-Skillplan: With the two programs EveMon and Eve-Skillplan you plan your skills and see which implants are most important. So the queue is only half as long.
- EFT and O.smium: These two tools help you fit your ships. You can see which skills you need for which items.
