I have heard some people talk on here about doing lvl 5s in high sec and i am wondering how i can find level 5 agents who will give missions in high sec...
I tried searching in the forums and could not find anything however i do not have crazy good skills when it comes to finding that type of stuff.
Thanks so much for the help. WD

All lvl 5 agents are in low sec but some send you to high sec to do the mission, if there is a high sec system with in his mission radius just like some high secs agents send you to low sec. Where the agent will send you is random. Find a lvl 5 agent that is only 1 or 2 jumps maybe 3 from high sec and ask him for a mission, accept it if it sends you to high sec decline the low sec ones and ask for another. Just remember you can only decline 1 mission per 4 hours so if you decline one and the next is also low sec you have to have to accept it or wait 4 hours before declining it without a standings hit.
As for finding a lvl 5 agent I can't help you with that as I don't know your standings or where you are located but I am sure someone will be by soon to post a link to one of the agent finder websites/tools or you could show info on the combat corps(caldari navy, Fed navy, republic fleet, etc) to see if they have lvl 5 agents you have the standings for and where they are located.

Try Fed Navy in Iges and Uphallant, Placid, they will give you a few hi sec missions.
The systems are adjacent and give missions in Slays and Stacmon so you can leave your mission running ships there and take a shuttle in to "talk" to the agents

By the time you got the firepower together to take down a group of Remote Repping high resist ships, the mission would be over. Even if you got a couple friends in high damage BS, you probably wouldn't do much to a Nighthawk designed to tank 2200 dps passivly, let alone with a basilisk repping it.
But nice thinking inside the box... packaged in peanuts i might add

Ha! they would be welcome to the pitiful salvage you get from lvl v's. Even the Angel missions yield less than a lvl 4 mission. perhaps 7 or 8 Trit bars and a pile of junk.
My theory is its because no one salvages the lo sec missions so the drop rates haven't balanced.

The isk in level 5's is from LP. I assume this is how CCP wanted it.

hmm, I heard good things about the salvage in level5s, although that might have included loot. or maybe just A LOT of level 5s

Salvage is definitely sub par, I do salvage all missions as I hate to leave anything to waste, but its hardly worth the time.
I'm hovering around 100 missions completed so far but all are in Gall space, I haven't done many Sansha or Blood missions.
Loot is better than lvl 4's but not by a large margin. One mission stands out over the rest, its Mordus headhunters with 8 to 9k m3 including 20 to 30 large hybrids and a half dozen Arbies. Most of that m3 is taken up by over 100 cap charge 800's and 50 400's.

You either do not know how to pvp, or you have never done a level 5... You cant hurt me by neuting me... the missions already do that. Which is why we use insane high resistant passive shield tank, like 450,000 effective hp... can you chew through that before concorde BBQs you? You forgot that I have friends with me, because no one solo's a level 5, so you have to overcome their RR as well. And no one doing level 5's successfully will be dumb enough to fire on you lol.
Not to mention you wont have a tank setup to take on the NPCs that spawn at intervals throughout some level 5's... you pretty much fail in the most ignorant of ways.

Most lvl v runners use passive shield tankers so nuets are of no consequence
My own Tanker can take full room aggro with shields at 50 to 75%, still plenty of tank/buffer to outlast most suiciders. remember we are talking hi sec here. Catching a runner in an Angel mission may end in tears though! Tanker is usually on the ragged edge even with remote repping from the Damage dealer.
Anyway I thought Suddenly Ninjas and there ilk were salvage filchers and can flippers not suicide gankers?

You obviously don't know how the ninja's work.
I suggest you shut the hell up.

Educate me swami... please
you are going to need an entire corp's worth of gank geddons to get through an average level 5 runners tank... or take the time to attack my Logi's first which A)lets me warp out or B) pre-summons concord.
So again swami, unless Ninja's defy all game mechanics, how they gonna do it?

Not sure if you spotted my post above, These two locations are the only reliable source of Fed Navy Hi sec lvl V missions.

Nope, this is where the derail happened. I was pointing out idiocy... just like I am doing now.

@Baron Aethon If you want to share your idiocy with other please do, it's a good laugh. But perhaps you could start a thread on your own about it in the general forums, where you seem to belong?

Be careful undocking in a shuttle from certain stations. I lost a nice implant clone to a smart-bombing BS outside my old Level 5 agent.

I accept a certain level of risk as part of the Risk/reward equation, rewards are so high that you can afford the occasional loss.
I lost a kronos a few weeks back due to inattention, took me a week to recoup and learned a lesson.
