Crimson Harvest 2026: Every Reward, Site and Trader

2026-10-08 · #events #guides #pve

The Blood Raiders are pushing into Pochven, and the Order of St. Tetrimon is trying to stop them. You pick a side, run event sites, and work up a track that ends with a blueprint for the Akoman, the first pirate attack battlecruiser.

Short version: log in on 24 of the 28 days, pick a side on purpose, and don't cash in at the item traders in a straight line.

The short version

• Dates: October 6 to November 3, 2026. More starts around Totality Day on October 13, and Fenris Creations says rewards escalate as October closes.
• Login rewards: about 135k SP and 3 SKINs for Alphas. Omegas get about 660k SP and 8 SKINs. You need to log in on 24 of the 28 days for the full skill points.
• Pick a side: Blood Raiders or Tetrimon. Your side changes your SKINs, your boosters and which item traders sell what.
• Event track: 1,000 points ends in a one-run Akoman blueprint. On the way you get SKINs, boosters, SKINR elements, a cerebral accelerator crate and 500 Mutated Blood Samples.
• Mutated Blood Samples are the event currency. Spend them at item traders on blueprints, mutaplasmids, boosters, SKINs and SP accelerators.
• PvP is spicier: outside highsec, 90% of the loot drops from ships destroyed in PvP, and pods have a 50% chance to drop their implants.

Pick a side

Both sides earn points the same way. The difference is in the rewards.

If you fly Amarr laser boats, either side works, but the Harvest Damage Booster now only boosts energy turrets. Armor pilots should look hard at the Tetrimon Resistance Booster, which now only boosts armor resists.

Login rewards

Log in on 24 of the 28 days to collect the full skill points. The day numbers below are the login day the reward lands on.

The big Skill Point cache lands on day 21, so don't skip that week.

Event track

Points come from the challenges in the next section. The track is the same length on both sides. Only the SKINs and boosters change.

The track has no PLEX and no direct skill points.

Challenges: how you earn points

The hacking challenge is worth double. Explorers in a cheap frigate can do a big chunk of the track without firing a shot.

Where to find the sites

Hollow Outbreaks (Upwell-themed, among destroyed Avalanche wrecks)

Criterion of Fitness

These are Triglavian trials, unlocked with Criterion Ciphers that drop from Crimson Harvest combat and exploration sites. Each is a timed solo fight over three waves, and the faster you clear it, the harder the challenge and the better the loot. They appear in all space, including nullsec, Pochven and wormholes. Killing Triglavians here doesn't hurt your Triglavian Collective or EDENCOM standings. There's a Criterion of Fitness guide on r/Eve.

Combat sites

• Crimson Gauntlet
• Crimson Harvest Sanctuary
• Dark Blood Gauntlet
• Crimson Harvest Headquarters
• Tetrimon Base sites
• Crimson Harvest rift encounters

Combat sites can escalate when Triglavians, Drifters or Rogue Drones come through unstable rifts. Killing the Triglavians here costs you no standing. Killing the Drifters and Rogue Drones earns standing with the Triglavians and EDENCOM. Highsec sites can escalate too, with bigger fights and bigger rewards.

Hacking sites

Crimson Harvest Network Nodes and Network Hubs are all over New Eden, including nullsec. The harder ones are in Blood Raider space in Delve and in the Eugidi, Angils and Essin constellations. Look for a bonus Triglavian container, which can hold rare loot.

Wormholes and Pochven

New Pochven-style wormholes appear in Blood Raider lowsec and nullsec, guarded by Triglavian, Blood Raider or Tetrimon forces. Shooting the Triglavian guards on the lowsec or nullsec side lowers your Triglavian standing. Blood Raider and Tetrimon fleets also roam Pochven, and the minor victory systems are worth a look.

Item traders

Item traders turn Mutated Blood Samples into loot. Warp to the trader beacon, right-click the agent and choose Access.

Bitter vet tips

• Log in every day, even if you don't play. Missing more than four days costs you skill points.
• Explorers win this event. The hacking challenge pays 500 points, and the bonus Triglavian containers are where the rare loot is.
• New pilots: Class 1 Hollow Outbreaks are frigate-only and in highsec. Fit a Tech I frigate and go.
• Claim your rewards before they expire. Boosters expire November 10, and redemption items expire in early November too (wckg.net lists November 5).
• Store packs: Crimson Harvest Packs in the EVE Store bundle Omega, PLEX, SP and Sanguinary Savant SKINs. Before you buy, read how to stop paying full price.
