Quick answers
Where is the Core Garrison in EVE Online?
The Core Garrison spawns in wormhole space (C5 systems). How you find it: anomaly.
What spawns in the Core Garrison?
The Core Garrison has 4 waves and about 40 NPCs: 8 battleships, 15 cruisers, 3 tactical destroyers and 14 frigates. Killing the trigger ship spawns the next wave; the triggers are Awakened Sentinel, Emergent Keeper and Sleepless Sentinel.
What should I tank and shoot in the Core Garrison?
The heaviest wave in the Core Garrison deals about 1,941 DPS and the site holds about 1,766,772 EHP to grind through. Up to 6 NPCs scram at once, so you cannot simply warp out. Peak capacitor neutralising is about 72 GJ/s.
What ship do I need for the Core Garrison?
As a rule of thumb, tanking the heaviest wave of the Core Garrison in full (about 1,941 DPS) takes a group, or a marauder or capital fleet. Its NPCs scram, so if your tank breaks you cannot simply warp out. Pulling waves carefully lowers what you need to tank.
How much is the Core Garrison worth?
The Core Garrison is worth about 253.4M ISK in blue loot at current prices.
