I was running combat anoms outside of Dodixie and got a Snake Epsilon implant worth over 200m! Thank you for this beautiful guide to Combat anoms. I'd been just warping to whatever sites were available and blowing them to kingdom come in my Myrmidon, I know it's inefficient, I just love the look of the hull.
Thank you so much. This no nonsense no fluff approach is very easy for me to digest. I'm gonna try these out tomorrow. I'm up to level 3 security missions now, I've got access to level four but I am still training up my raven skills! 🎉🎉🎉
Went out to Hideway to collect my daily skill point reward, cleared the site, commander spawned and rewarded me with a 130mill implant (one of those fancy +4 attribute). Took a while to get the grin off my face. :) Regarding the Escalations, it's pointless the run the ones in low-sec unless you are really good at doing PVP in a PVE ship. You will get scanned down and ganked in no time. And even if you run you will be giving away a free site for the other guy to take.
RNGesus and the Loot Fairy have both blessed you! And yes, I tend to just ignore lowsec escalations and would rather go farm another one from anomalies than risk a lowsec massacre :p
Thank you so much for being clear, concise, and informatively brief. These are the kind of to-the-point videos I gravitate to, so you got yourself a Like and Sub for your excellent efforts.
🙂absolutely great video! it's near impossible to find easy to follow super informative videos like this! i'll be checking out your other videos for sure!
I wouldent go as far as saying its near impossable becouse there absolutly are videos out there explaining these sites, however they mostly tend to focus around 1 faction area and not the whole space so finding the area your in is likly the main issue.
Hey man, nice video and seems like you covered alot of things in a relatively short time. :thumbsup: Would also be cool if you shared that stratios fit. :)
Thanks, it was hard to keep it tight not waffle on :p Certainly happy to share the fit!

@@CadePlaysGames Does that fit handle the escalation sites as well? I built a similar fit based off what I could tell in the video and it had a hard time in a gurista 4/10. Could have just been that I wasn't kiting though, as I assumed the crystals were conflag and went into the 4/10 brawling.
@@cdubs6706 It's much, much easier if you're Omega and can use the Sentry Drones. Pull a bit of range with the MWD, poop out the Sentries and snipe. I did record running a Blood 4/10 in a Harbinger when I was Alpha and it took ages, then in an upcoming video (shameless plug) I run it again in the Sentry Stratios and it only takes a few minutes. Same as in the Sansha 3/10. In a Maller it took a while but the Sentry Strat runs the entire site in 3 or 4 minutes.
Hi, Cade Im a bit late to this video comment but it was really great info.. Im coming back to the game and want to do DEDs. Also ive done a lot of angel sites before and cant remember if i ever gotten any 3/10 out of hideaways lol. Now Im debating on using my dramiel or starting fresh capsul for a navy slicer for blood raider hunting. Ill be using my cynabal for 4/10even 5/10. also looking to get navy omen. what do you think?
Cynabal are very popular anomaly runners. They're fast, accurate and put out plenty of dps. Being projectiles-based they can also select their damage types. Navy Omen are great, especially when fitted for long range kiting. Or you could go all the way to a Command Ship and use a Claymore for Blood Raider 4/10 and 5/10. Insane EM and Thermal resists, huge tank, lots of dps and uses missiles so you can punch out pure EM damage.😎
@@CadePlaysGames thanks for your reply. Yeah Cynabal is great but kinda bored of shield based tanks and want something different. As im starting again I will only be an alpha clone for the moment so higher tier ships are out of the question (no gila/worm even in the abyss). Also never tried any amar ships yet :P.
Great video. Ty. May I ask are these publicly listed sites that everyone's sees something different than the hidden ones? I'm confused by using scanners and scanner probes to find sites? Or is that for low sec? I'm a scared pve only player. Lol.
They're all public. The ones you don't need to use probes for are Anomalies. The ones you do are Signatures (which are covered in another video on this channel) th-cam.com/video/v9ID-jvD-hE/w-d-xo.html These signatures appear in all areas of space. Probing gets easy after the first few times you do it. I did a guide to it as part of the exploration career agent guide also on this channel th-cam.com/video/FgdT9P6UCXM/w-d-xo.html
Do you have to have probe launchers equipped to the ship in order to find them? I have done this, see them, but for some reason can’t go to them at all.
No, you do not need probes to find Anomalies. If they are in your current system they will instantly appear at 100% strength for everyone. 😀 The ones you need to scan down are Signatures, which I covered in this video: th-cam.com/video/v9ID-jvD-hE/w-d-xo.html
@@CadePlaysGames okay thanks. I went to 4 or 5 lastnight that were listed in the combat anomalies menu last night and there was nothing there but a couple coreli ships and that’s it so maybe the ones I went to are just broken idk.
do note though these escalations, ive ran 10 in a row, and got nothing in loot over 4m. thats 3,4 included its very random and low chance, but id still say worth doing, especially at lower level chars, some items can be really nice isk wise. i generally make more money from the actual faction spawns in the standard anomolies, rather than escalation's. ive run hundreds of escalations, and countless anomalies. also you can spend 6hrs or more and get nothing good at all.
Yeah sometimes the Loot Fairy and RNGesus are both upset with you and give you nothing. Other timer they shower you with lovely dark blue Deadspace modules worth hundreds of millions! And as you state, you can also get nice gear from the commanders in basic anomalies. :)
Yes you should get a pop-up message on the screen about it. The location of the site is then found in Agency>Exploration>Escalations. You have 24 hours to enter the site, or it de-spawns.
@@CadePlaysGames so when you find the escalation room, they'll be usual npc targets with a named boss, I've just reactivated my account after 6 years away, good skills, been using Ishtar with sentry drones, a Gnosis and Ferox or Drake.
@@drekceldude Yeah it's all normal NPC apart from the bosses. Most sites have a single boss, others have a few. "Bosses" can also be buildings that drop the Overseer's Personal Effects and other loot. It's not always an NPC ship.
