Maximize your seasonal rewards in Eve Galaxy Conquest

Introduction

In this guide, you will find all the necessary information on how to maximize all seasonal rewards in Eve Galaxy Conquest, presented as a checklist with pro tips for each. You will also learn how to be fully prepared for the next season.

If you missed it, here is my full game review, and in the Seasonal Reset guide, where I explore how the seasonal system works, so make sure to check it out as well. Here, however, I will focus on what you need to complete before the timer runs out. This guide will help you maximize your progress and ensure you do not miss anything important.

Main Missions

Main Missions rewards are typically related to season progress. They provide you with resources and tile count limit increases. But Main Mission chapters are a solid source of Nova Kredits, Recruitment Tickets, Commanders’ Files, and Speed-up Buffs – all of which you can carry over to the new season. Most likely, by the end of the season, you will have automatically completed them all, but you should double-check to make sure nothing is left undone. You might get stuck on a hard mission like capturing a level 10 tile. For this, I will create a separate guide, but in short, you can try calling another player for help if your fleets are not strong enough.

Season Achievements

You can access Achievements by clicking on your character portrait in the top menu, then clicking the central button at the bottom. You will see three tiers of rewards: Glory for completing 15 Achievements, Epic for 20, and Legendary for 25. It is highly recommended to push for the Legendary tier because the Achievement Cache has a 100% chance of containing a Legendary commander or a Ship.

In my experience, you get around 15-18 Achievements done just by playing the game and occasionally participating in corporation events like rallies and sieges. Some Achievements are really easy, such as using Guard 5 times, which simply means spending 75 Stamina of any commander (even a level 1) to guard any friendly tile or even your Homebase.

Achievements like making 100 purchases in a shop do not require real money. You can simply buy ores or other materials for different materials or Military Exploits. Typically, each day the Resource Market offers 4-5 items that do not involve Nova or any other valuable currency, so by checking it daily, you will eventually complete that Achievement as well.

There is also an easy Achievement related to Shielding your Homebase for the full duration. You can access that feature in the Defense Center of your Homebase. It involves a 2.5-hour preparation period followed by a 6-hour shield duration. While shielded, you cannot use your fleets, so the best time to do this is about 2 hours before you go to sleep and leave it active overnight.

BTW, starting with a new season, Achievements will provide you Guristas Tags, which are used as a currency in DED Market.

Corporation Missions

While these do not offer large Nova rewards on an individual scale—typically 100 Nova per Primary Objective and 40-60 Nova for additional ones—once scaled across all corporation members, it adds up. It is worth checking if there are any missing checkboxes you can easily complete together with your corp mates.

Season Missions in Eve Galaxy Conquest

This category is a big one, but generally speaking, your main objectives come down to two things:

1. Ensure that you upgrade your Homebase to level 10.
2. Make your way into a top corporation that has captured Jita to secure a Dominance Cache and other rewards like CONCORD Honor, which allows you to get Dragoon ships even as an F2P player.

A word of warning: While it might not be difficult to join a top corporation if you actively play and have strong fleets, you need to ensure you stay there until the season ends to claim the reward. Many people leave the game or become inactive, prompting some CEOs to remove them for inactivity. Make sure you do not become one of those players.

How to Stay Active Without Being Active

Obviously, logging in every 12 hours just to get a free recruitment will not be enough to keep you in a top corporation until the end of the season. The best ways to remain active and useful without too much effort are:

1. Join the corporation’s Discord or other communication channels, where you can be notified if someone is attacking Jita.
2. Inform your officers or CEO if you need to take a break so they understand your intentions.
3. Build two outposts near warzones and move two fleets there. Set them to guard front tiles. Check them once a day to refresh or relocate them to different defense points. Once the enemy strikes, you will earn Military Exploits and Corporation Experience, boosting your activity and proving you are not inactive.
4. Leave your three strongest fleets at the Homebase and once a day use up your action points. This yields crafting materials and, more importantly, Corporation Experience. Again, this shows that you are active.
5. Donate all resources to the corp.

Conquer Score

I have a separate guide detailing everything related to Score and Conquer Kredits: what they are, how to obtain them, how much you need, and where to spend them. Just ensure that you have enough for your needs and mark this as done.

Here I created Conquer Kredits calculator:

Update: As of April 2024, there’s an invisible hard cap of 1 million Conquer Score obtainable from Station or Gate NPC escorts.

Emptying the Shops

Your main goal is to buy everything in the Season Shop, which appears in the Market once the server reaches Seasonal Mission #11: The Trigger.

To purchase everything, you will need 18.1 million ISKs and 8,600 Nova. While that might sound like a lot, I managed to buy everything long before the season even announced its ending. My ISK gain was 75k per hour, but even at just 50k per hour, you earn 1.5 million per day (including free Levy), meaning you can accumulate 18 million in about 12 days. Just do not waste Nova on Extra ISK Levy unless you are certain you cannot make it in time.

If the timer is running out and you still do not have enough ISKs, there are two options:

1. Reset a ship’s Enchantments (module levels), which returns up to 2 million ISK for 50 Nova. These ISKs would be lost at the end of the season anyway.
2. Reset a whole ship every 72 hours to get ISKs and all Decryption Files back.

So on the last day, by resetting one ship for free and using 200 Nova for modules resets, you can net 10 million ISK.

Spending Nova is optional, but getting 25 Mission Recruitment Coupons at a discount is nice, and you can keep them until the Recruitment Events in a future.

Implants Crafting

This part is tricky. On one hand, you need 500k ISK per craft, and since ISK will be lost with the season reset, you may want to spend it here. On top of that, the crafting cycle is 24 hours. On the other hand, implant materials are limited, and instead of crafting random legendary implants and rigs, you may want to save materials for blueprints you plan to buy in the Conquer Kredits Store at the beginning of the next season.

My suggestion is to calculate how many materials you need to craft all the blueprints you plan to purchase. If, after doing so, you have excess materials and have already bought everything from the Season Market with your ISK, then you should definitely start crafting.

Final Words – Checklist

To recap the above, here is your checklist:

• All personal missions are complete.
• You scored 25 achievements.
• You are in a corporation that secured the best seasonal reward possible.
• You earned enough Conquer Score to buy what you want.
• Your Season Market is empty.
• Any excess rigs and implant materials are used for Legendary crafts.
• You made great friends to have fun in the next season!

By following these guidelines, you will ensure that you are fully prepared to claim every possible seasonal reward in Eve Galaxy Conquest. By managing your ISKs and materials wisely, you will set yourself up for success in the upcoming season. Good luck, and may your fleets always find victory among the stars!

Fly efficiently!
