“We’ve got a number of great events in store for you in July and August.” CCP cmdr wang said on the Dust dev blog, and with that being said today kicks off the fourth of July triple skill point event for Dust 514. That means all battles will reward you with three times the normal skill points you would’ve earned. The skill cap has also been tripled during this event, which will be running from July 4 to July 10.
For players who have passive boosters active should note that they do no count towards the triple skill point event. As for skill boosters in general Cmdr Wang said “extra SP earned from skill boosters do not count towards your weekly SP cap.”
To participant simply log in, and fight. You will automatically receive the skill point bonus.
From July 11 to July 18 Mordu’s Legion, a famous non-player character corporation in EVE Online, will be hosting Mordu’s challenge. Players will earn free equipment for their Dust mercenaries.
