### Finding the sites

Winter Nexus combat sites spawn in systems affected by [volatile ice storms](https://wiki.erst.live/books/general/page/how-to-find-the-storms "How to find the storms?") in <span style="color: rgb(45, 194, 107);">HS</span>, <span style="color: rgb(230, 126, 35);">LS </span>and <span style="color: rgb(224, 62, 45);">NS</span>.  
<span style="color: rgb(230, 126, 35);">LS </span>sites are assumed to be the most valuable ones, followed by <span style="color: rgb(224, 62, 45);">NS </span>and then <span style="color: rgb(45, 194, 107);">HS</span>.

### Access and difficulty

<span style="color: rgb(45, 194, 107);">HS </span>sites disallow Marauders unless a Cryostorm Clarifier (from [Yoiul LADs](https://wiki.erst.live/books/yoiul-lads/page/summary-click-me "Summary (click me!)")) has been deposited into Sansha's Transit Modulator, upgrading the site (increased difficulty &amp; better loot)

<span style="color: rgb(230, 126, 35);">LS </span>sites can be upgraded with a Cryostorm Reconciler

<span style="color: rgb(224, 62, 45);">NS </span>sites can be upgraded with a Cryostorm Mapper

# Wightstorm Forward Base

Spawns in <span style="color: rgb(45, 194, 107);">HS </span>storms. Can be upgraded depositing a **Cryostorm Clarifier** into Sansha's Transit Modulator.

Base sites (no upgrade) spawn one wave of NPCs, followed by a boss with 2m ISK bounty. For upgraded sites about 30% more rats spawn with the wave, boss has 3m ISK bounty.

<p class="callout info">Completing the event-track through non-upgraded HS sites, yields about 400m ISK of loot and 100m bounty (on top of the event-track rewards). Takes about 5 hours without competition.</p>

### Fittings

#### Base site

- [Gila](https://eveworkbench.com/fit/129dcde1-d806-4add-826a-7b5645bdc973 "Gila fit on EVE Workbench") (pull drones before boss spawn and launch once boss aggro is on your ship)
- [Sleipnir](https://eveworkbench.com/fit/865c589b-e17e-4259-b783-5fbe9befaf76 "Sleipnir fit on EVE Workbench")
- [Vagabond ](https://eveworkbench.com/fit/db6714b0-34d3-4570-8ea5-c8896952bdea "Vagabond fit on EVE Workbench")(keep targets at 2km, if too much pressure, kill big targets first and get angular velocity instead, use drones aggro as tank option and heat resists if necessary/use adc, switch to hail for boss armor)

#### Upgraded site

- [Gila](https://eveworkbench.com/fit/23733995-0ea7-47c0-b57c-2c3b007f698c "Gila fit on EVE Workbench") (pull drones before boss spawn and launch once boss aggro is on your ship)
- [Vagabond ](https://eveworkbench.com/fit/db6714b0-34d3-4570-8ea5-c8896952bdea "Vagabond fit on EVE Workbench")(keep targets at 2km, if too much pressure, kill big targets first and get angular velocity instead, use drones aggro as tank option and heat resists if necessary/use adc, switch to hail for boss armor)
- [Alligator ](https://eveworkbench.com/fit/226dfe4d-e92f-4b22-bc61-3efcec0c10d7 "Alligator fitting on EVE Workbench")(use faction missiles for non-boss NPCs, kill neuts first)

#### Alpha fit: (normal and upgraded)

- [Gila](https://eveworkbench.com/fit/eeff9446-69e0-4150-8df7-cea9c63cf589 "Gila on EVE Workbench") (make sure you have max alpha skills for dmg and tank, kill battle cruiser first, use Caldari drones unless for boss, there Amarr drones hit harder.)

### Loot

Find some loot runs on EVE Journal for these sites [Wightstorm Forward Base Loot](https://evejournal.com/info/event-site/wightstorm-forward-base-2025 "Wightstorm Forward Base Loot on EVE Journal").

# Muster Point

Spawns in <span style="color: rgb(230, 126, 35);">LS </span>storms. Can be upgraded depositing a **Cryostorm Reconciler into Sansha's Transit Modulator.

Base sites spawn 3 waves of NPCs (same strength as HS ones) followed by a boss with 15m ISK bounty (much stronger than HS boss).   
Assumption is, upgraded sites spawn 3 waves similar to upgraded sites in HS with an even harder boss.

### Fits

- [Vagabond ](https://eveworkbench.com/fit/db6714b0-34d3-4570-8ea5-c8896952bdea "Vagabond fit on EVE Workbench")(play at 30km from warp in, maybe you can run if somebody tries to catch you. Keep targets at 2km, if too much pressure, kill big targets first and get angular velocity instead, use drones' aggro as tank option and heat resists if necessary/use adc, switch to hail for boss armor)

# Transit site

Spawns in <span style="color: rgb(224, 62, 45);">NS </span>storms
