[p]Capsuleers,[/p][p]The Blood Raiders have begun their harvest, and the Order of St. Tetrimon is mobilizing against them. The time has come to choose your side and get into the fight. Start unlocking your rewards today![/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]This year, the Crimson Harvest has something for capsuleers of all experience levels, including brand-new Upwell-themed sites.[/p][p]Take on seasonal challenges, reap daily rewards, and sink your teeth into all-new activities. Don’t forget that in the final week, the horrors will intensify and the seasonal reward track will be extended to include a reward crate containing a Blood Raider ship blueprint.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Biocybernetic Incident Sites[/h2][p]Upwell’s experiments with cloning technology, in special biocybernetics facilities, have gone terribly wrong. The locations of these incidents are now combat sites across all space.[/p][p]The sites require pilots to stay within a designated perimeter for a certain period of time, fighting waves of enemies, and ultimately taking on an even more formidable foe. Keep the Opportunities Info Panel open to see how much time is left, and watch out for shuttles attempting to leave the site laden with valuable loot. Catch them before they get out to make these sites even more lucrative.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Keep your eye out for unstable generators within these locations that can be used tactically to damage many enemy ships at once – and also your own, if you’re not careful.[/p][p]The Biocybernetic Incident sites are showing up in highsec, lowsec, nullsec, and wormhole space, and are accessible to capsuleers of all experience levels. This includes rookies engaged with the AIR Career Program, who can try the sites geared toward Tech I frigates. Once you have cut your teeth on the easiest of these sites, you can gear up and gain confidence to move up a tier using a Tech I destroyer or Tech II frigate, for even greater rewards.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The hardest sites are perfect for Tech III destroyers, especially Confessors and Svipuls, following the recent ship balancing in the Legion Major Update.[/p][p]Because these incident sites are a messy situation for Upwell, they have blocked their own EDENCOM ships from entering them.[/p][p][/p][h2]Blood and Order: an Escalating Conflict[/h2][p]In addition to the new Biocybernetic Incidents, the usual Crimson Harvest sites return, now capable of triggering escalations in nullsec, lowsec, and highsec. All of the returning combat sites offer possible chance encounters among the wreckage that may link directly to the Upwell horror unfolding across space, and they are more likely within wormholes.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Explorers will find familiar hacking sites, where they may encounter shuttles engulfed in flames, which go on to explode, leaving a wreck you can hack into for extra reward.[/p][p]During the Crimson Harvest, there is a 50% chance of implants dropping from capsules destroyed in PvP. In addition, starting 10 October, there will be a 90% loot drop from ships destroyed in PvP everywhere except highsec.[/p][p]The daily login rewards and seasonal challenge track are especially lucrative during the event, with vast caches of Skill Points, and stunning Deathglow Remnant SKINs, along with PLEX, boosters, and more.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]For all the details on this year’s Crimson Harvest, see the previous news item.[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][h2]Prepare With Two New Packs[/h2][p]The perfect way to prepare for the bloodshed ahead, as Crimson Harvest begins, is by checking out two new packs that have arrived in the EVE Store.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]First, there’s the Reign of Blood Pack, aimed at experienced capsuleers. Those tackling the hardest Biocybernetic Incident sites can make their Confessor look its best in a stunning Sanguinary Savant SKIN before undocking.[/p]

[p]Then there’s the Biocybernetic Pack, which is more suitable for newcomers to New Eden.[/p]

• [p]15 days Omega[/p]
• [p]2 Enforcer Operations Expert Systems[/p]
• [p]100,000 Skill Points[/p]
• [p]Expert ‘Boost’ Cerebral Accelerator[/p]

[p]Capsuleers, [/p][p]Blood will reign in New Eden as the Blood Raiders embark on their annual harvest. From 6 October to 4 November they will drain clones, spread terror, and carry out grim rituals. The Order of St. Tetrimon rises again to stop them. Who will you side with? [/p][p]This year brings more chaos than ever, with rogue Upwell research unleashing fresh darkness. New anomalies burn across New Eden, spawning horrors both factions seek to harvest or destroy. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Find a host of new and returning activities through the Agency and AIR Opportunities window. Furthermore, if you choose to engage in PvP combat during Crimson Harvest, there is a 50% chance of destroyed capsules dropping implants. [/p][p]In the final week of the Harvest, the horrors will intensify and the seasonal reward track will be extended to include a final reward crate containing a Blood Raider ship blueprint. More surprises will be announced as well, so keep your eyes on the unfolding bloodshed.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Choose Your Side [/h2][p]As always, capsuleers can choose to align with either the Blood Raiders or the Order of St. Tetrimon to earn challenge rewards and progress along the seasonal track. [/p][p]Both routes lead to riches, but choose carefully. The blood remembers, and the Order never forgets. [/p][p][/p][h2]Upwell Research Gone Wrong [/h2][p]New Biocybernetic Incident sites appear across highsec, lowsec, nullsec, and wormhole space as Upwell clone research goes awry. They were designed as labs, but now they are tombs. [/p][p]In an attempt to mitigate a somewhat messy situation for them, Upwell has blocked its own EDENCOM ships from entering these sites. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Stay within a designated area for a set duration, fight off enemy waves, and try to blast rogue shuttles loaded with valuable cargo. Be careful, as there are unstable generators in the sites which can be destroyed, causing damage to all close by. Make sure to keep your distance, but keep in mind you can use them strategically. [/p][p]Easy sites, for Tech I frigates, appear in highsec. Medium, for Tech II frigates and Tech I destroyers, can be found in all space. Hard ones, for Tech III tactical destroyers and below, appear in lowsec, nullsec, and wormhole space, no longer limited to Blood Raider regions. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Whether you’re a veteran of New Eden, or fresh out of the AIR Career Program, you can get involved.  [/p][p]Capsuleers flying Confessors and Svipuls will find them especially suited for the high-end content, following the recent balance pass in the Legion Major Update. [/p][p][/p][h2]Returning Rituals [/h2][p]Familiar battlegrounds return for enforcers, including Blood Raider and Tetrimon combat sites. [/p][p]Crimson Gauntlet and Tetrimon Base sites may now trigger an escalation, which means that for the first time, escalations can occur in all space except wormhole space.  [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Tetrimon Frontline Base and Dark Blood Gauntlet sites will also return and appear exclusively in Blood Raider space in lowsec and Delve. [/p][p]There are chance encounters within returning combat sites that may link directly to the Upwell horror unfolding across space, and they are more likely within wormholes. These encounters increase the rewards to be had from a site, so keep an eye out for any suspicious wrecks. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Explorers will find familiar hacking sites, where they may encounter shuttles engulfed in flames, which go on to explode, leaving a wreck you can hack into for extra reward.  [/p][p][/p][h2]Reap the Rewards [/h2][p]The harvest is a time for reaping, and great rewards are to be expected as usual. Log in daily to claim a massive cache of Skill Points, boosters, new Deathglow Remnant SKINs, and more. Omega capsuleers earn rewards on both Alpha and Omega tracks. [/p][p]Complete seasonal challenges to unlock even more, including SKINR components and after the event enters the final week, a final crate with a rare Blood Raider blueprint. [/p][p]Everything you do brings you closer to the ultimate prize. Do not sleep on the reign of blood. [/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][h2]More News:[/h2][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p] [/p]
