*UPDATED TOURNAMENT DATES BELOW*
Mercenaries, soldiers, immortals! With the Uprising 1.2 update upon us, it’s a better time than ever to get your boots on the ground and unholster your weapons! We’ve got a number of great events in store for you in July and August which will allow you to earn some awesome rewards. And it all starts with the…
Triple SP Event
Starting on July 4 and ending on July 10, we will be hosting a Triple Skill Point Event for all players who log in to play. During the event period your skill point cap will be tripled and your skill booster bonuses are stacked with the triple skill point reward. Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to earn extra skill points and get that level 5 skill that you’ve been training for.
Here's some details on the Triple SP event that you will want to know:
The weekly SP cap will reset on Wednesday, July 3rd as usual after DT. If you hit your weekly in the first day then you will still be eligible for the extended SP cap for the event on Thursday.
The passive SP gain and caps are not part of the triple SP event, so they will work normally.
Your extra SP earned from skill boosters do not count towards your weekly SP cap.
Mordu's Challenge
Our next event, the Mordu’s Challenge, will take place from July 11 to July 18. Mordu’s Legion, the famous mercenary corporation in New Eden, has decided to challenge cloned mercenaries in an effort to see what they’re worth. We’ve gotten a lot of good feedback from those of you who’ve participated in previous events and we have implemented new elements in this event thanks to your comments. The Mordu’s Challenge event will offer players 5 separate goals to achieve during the event. These goals and event rewards are as follows:
100x Enemy Kills – Assault C/1-Series Dropsuit + C15-A Tactical Sniper Rifle (all equipment Caldari themed) 50 x BPC
100x installation destruction – Logistics M/1-Series Dropsuit + BDR-8 Triage Repair Tool (all equipment is Minmatar themed) 50 x BPC

Achieve all of the above – Falchion class HAV + 80GJ Stabilized Neutron Blaster + HT Linear Flux Stabilizer 100 x BPC
Go for the goals that best suit your play style, or get them all and earn some exceptional equipment to dominate the battlefield!
