Exploring in Hi-Sec

[Marius VonDoom]

Hey folks, so I keep reading that exploring in hi-sec isn't worth it. I've really just started, but I worked out a little circuit of 7 or 8 systems and I seem to hit around 30-40million ISK in about 30-60 minutes just running through them. I've run that circuit on like four different days and hit on 3 of them, with the other still a couple million. Am I just getting lucky or is that not very much?

It sounds like you found a nice area of highsec for yourself with plenty sites available and had maybe somewhat above-average luck with the loot. Often, the highsec sites are highly contested, and you need to spend more time finding sites than actually running them.

I'd just continue for now if you're enjoying it - but you're free of course to try out sites in low/null and especially WH as well. In WHs, 30-40 mil can be expected in pretty much each of the sites that you find.

I'd salivate at an average of 50M ISK on multiple days in High Security Space while Scanning and Probing.
On good days in Null Security Space I'd get about 100M in Data and Relic Sites every three hours.

If you like being an explorer try the Winter Nexus Event. The competition is fierce, but the rewards, in ISK and thrill, are great.
