WHERE & HOW TO FARM
C1–C3 wormhole combat sites
Combat anomalies in Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3 wormhole systems.
Before you go
- Combat ship and fit suited to the chosen anomaly’s current encounter.
- Probe launcher and core probes for scanning signatures and connections.
- Bookmarks for your entry connection and candidate exits.
- Cargo space for the loot you intend to extract.
Farming steps
- Enter a C1–C3 system through a scanned connection and bookmark the entrance immediately.
- Check the system’s overview for named combat anomalies; use probes to identify relevant signatures where needed.
- Read the selected site’s displayed information and compare it with your ship’s tank and damage capability.
- Launch probes and scan for wormhole connections; bookmark a usable exit before starting combat.
- Check directional scan and nearby activity, then warp to the anomaly if its risk fits your plan.
- Engage the site’s NPCs, watching incoming damage and local player activity; withdraw if either exceeds your limits.
- Collect the loot the encounter actually makes available, then check your bookmarks and scan connections again.
- Take the haul out through a verified route, sort it for use or sale, and reassess before running another site.
- Do not infer a site’s difficulty or payout from its class alone; use the selected anomaly’s details and observed encounter.
- Recheck connections before hauling. A bookmarked wormhole is a lead, not a permanent exit.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat while suitable C1–C3 combat anomalies and a viable exit are available. Site availability and loot vary; no fixed yield is established.
Common mistakes
- Assuming all sites in a class have the same encounter: assess the named site before warping in.
- Treating the entrance as a guaranteed return route: scan connections again before hauling.
- Continuing after damage or player activity exceeds your limits: disengage and secure what you have recovered.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the encounter exceeds your fit, nearby threats make extraction unsafe, or you cannot identify a workable exit. Secure the ship and recovered loot before choosing another anomaly.
