Gas sites can be divided into two broad categories, WH gas and K-space (regular space) gas sites. WH Gas is used in the creation of T3 Cruisers and destroyers, and is found only in WHs. K-space gas sites are used in the creation of combat boosters aka. drugs. In general, WH gas is more valuable than K-space gas by volume, but the process of harvesting the gas is very similar. For the purposes of this guide, it will be assumed that you are harvesting the K-space gas in Catch, Lime Cytoserocin. | Gas sites can be divided into two broad categories, WH gas and K-space (regular space) gas sites.

- | ==== Gas Huffing Procedure | + | === General Information === |

Static means there will always be a set number of them at ANY time and the moment one despawn, another will respawn somewhere in the constellation to take its place. The 3 different statics differ greatly and each have their own benefits and tradeoffs. |

+ | ^ Duo Nebula ^ Leopard Nebula ^ Rimy Nebula ^ | ||
+ | | This is by far the easiest site to begin your gas huffing adventures. Duo's do not have rats of any kind and house 2 seperate clouds (500 Units + 2500 Units), allowing multiple people to harvest at the same site. The Duo Nebula cloud explodes very frequently and causes 1000 EM + 1000 Thermal damage upon explosion. Avoid huffing in groups. < | ||

+ | === Prerequisites === | ||
+ | Before you can gas huff you'll need to have some prerequisites as well as some basic game mechanics under your belt. | ||
+ | * An exploration ship. [[public: | ||
+ | * Familiarity with exploration mechanics by using the probe scanning window and probe scanner. [[public: | ||
+ | * Being able to use external site mapping tools such as Pathfinder. [[public: | ||
+ | * You will need an Overview tab with gas clouds on it. The default eve Mining tab has it as well as the Z-S mining tab. [[public: | ||
+ | * Finally, a sense of how to be safe in nullsec. As a helpless mining ship you stand as an easy target so be sure to know [[playground: | ||

+ | - Dock up and deposit the gas and repeat until the cloud(s) has been all mined up. | ||
