WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Crimson Gauntlet combat anomalies listed for Crimson Harvest in the Agency.
The Crimson Gauntlet is a Crimson Harvest combat anomaly. Use the event activity list to find an objective, then clear the Blood Raider defenders and collect available loot. A completed site can lead to further content, but an escalation is not guaranteed. Fit and nearby player activity should determine whether to pursue an extra step.
A combat-ready ship suitable for the site’s listed gate and NPC difficulty.
A fit with enough tank and damage for the waves.
Access to the event activity panel to track relevant challenges.
A route to store loot without carrying it through unnecessary danger.
Open the Agency event panel and check for a Crimson Gauntlet objective or site location.
Travel to the target while checking local space and directional scan along the way.
Confirm the anomaly name and any gate restrictions before entering.
Engage Blood Raider waves in a sequence your fit can sustain; monitor damage between groups.
Loot containers or wrecks after the immediate threat is cleared.
Check whether an escalation is offered; assess its risk and requirements before accepting or continuing.
Secure loot and update the event challenge tracker before choosing another site.
Farming tips
Build your session around objectives currently shown in Agency; event tasks can change or expire.
Do not make an escalation part of your expected income: it may not appear on a clear.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat across available anomalies while Crimson Harvest is active through November 3, 2026. Site spawns and escalation outcomes are not guaranteed.
Common mistakes
Assuming every clear opens an escalation: complete the site and check for one rather than planning around it.
Ignoring the site’s gate information: confirm your hull is eligible before travel.
Carrying all loot to the next anomaly: secure valuable drops before continuing.
When to stop or switch
Stop if the event challenge is complete, the escalation exceeds your fit, hostile activity enters the area, or event access ends. Return to a safer target when the expected value no longer justifies the exposure.
