For all you mission runners out there, there are two sites I have come to lean on to make the most of the “daily grind” for ISK: EVE Agents and EVE-Survival’s Mission Reports (ex-Kill Mission Survival Guide).
EVE Agents
If you are just getting started, moving up a level, moving locations or corporations, or venturing into R&D – whatever the situation, EVE Agents is a fantastic resource to tap into. This is another one from Chribba (EVE Search, EVE Files…) so you know the quality is going to be high. Aside: Chribbs has one of the best RL company names I’ve seen yet: OMG Labs. I used this religiously to select where Daniella would primarily base out of to run her level 4′s (hint – Amarr L4Q20 kill mission agent with no risk of being sent into low-sec!). I also recently used it to select Carthum for Amarr-based R&D agents and find the research specialties of several level 4 agents. Again…invaluable.
EVE-Survival’s Mission Reports
If you run level 4′s, bookmark this site NOW. It recently found a new home and moved to a more wiki-like format, as I believe the strains of maintaining the constant flow of updates was wearing on the site owner. Note that this is a good problem to have, as it’s in large part due to the steady flow of new and revised PVE content CCP is putting out. The guides, while occasionally imperfect, are the single best way for a mission-runner to avoid losing that favorite faction-fitted CNR (excluding Goon suicide ganks, of course). When I have Daniella out building up some ISK, I keep the Mission Reports open in a browser at all times for quick reference.
If anyone knows of any must-have PVE resources, please let me know in comments!
Thanks for coming back for another visit!

I am not sure if it is always best to run level 4 missions when you can just do loads of level 2-3, but I guess everyone is different :P
I think it’s a bit more fun to run 4′s – I’m not hard core about the “ISK per hour” churn that so many mission runners get in to. After all, it’s a game, and if I’m going to run a mission I at least want the vague challenge that a 4 provides. However, of late I upgraded Daniella to a Nighthawk with some ridiculous (though all non-faction…pure T2) passive tank, so what little challenge existed is largely gone. Ah well… :)
Level 4 missions are much more challenging and fun. Occasionally I find myself doing a few level 3s in my Drake but most the time doing Level 4s in my Raven :)
