RAVENCLAW OF EVE [RAVCW] A house of the Hogwarts of EVE alliance

"Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure."

WHO WE ARE

Ravenclaw is the house that goes and looks. We scan, we explore, we hack, and we go through wormholes that were not there yesterday and will not be there tomorrow. We fly Gallente: Imicus, then Astero, small fast hulls that get in, solve the puzzle, and leave before anyone works out we were there.

Exploration is the only profession in EVE genuinely about knowing things. Everything you earn here, you earn by having paid attention: to the scanner, to the directional scanner, to the three ships that arrived in local forty seconds ago. It is the thinking player's income, and conveniently the best ISK per hour available to a pilot one week old.

WHAT WE DO

- Relic and data sites: scan them down, hack the cans, fly home rich
- Wormholes, which are the single most interesting place in the game and the single best reason to learn to use a directional scanner
- Sleeper caches and the harder hacking content, once you are ready
- Mapping: we keep notes, and the notes are the real asset
- Finding things for the other three houses to shoot, mine or sell

WHAT YOU GET

- A house to belong to, with corpmates at exactly your own stage
- The hacking minigame explained properly, in five minutes, instead of guessed at for six months
- Honest numbers on what each site type actually pays
- Our maps, our notes and our bookmarks

WHAT WE ARE NOT

We are not a rich corporation. No free frigates, no ship replacement, no ISK handouts - be a little suspicious of any corporation that offers a new pilot those, because it is how recruitment scams open.

What we share is knowledge, which here is the better currency anyway: exploration is the one profession where knowing things is the income.

WHAT WE ASK

Curiosity, and the discipline that goes with it. Exploration rewards the pilot who checks before committing: who runs a d-scan before warping, reads a wormhole's Show Info before jumping, and knows the way home before leaving. We are not a cautious house. We do our homework and are then quite reckless on purpose.

No skill point minimum. No interview. Alpha clones welcome, and an Alpha can run exploration content profitably from the first week, which is true of almost nothing else in EVE.

THE FOUR HOUSES

Ravenclaw is one of four houses under Hogwarts of EVE. Gryffindor fights, Hufflepuff mines and builds, Slytherin trades. If scanning turns out not to suit you, you do not leave the alliance. You sort into another house and keep your friends.

THE HONEST PART

You will fly into places where something is waiting. That is not a flaw in exploration, it is the shape of it: the content is valuable precisely because it is somewhere awkward. We fly cheap hulls so being wrong costs almost nothing, and we go anyway.

Bring your brain. Come and go and look.
