Bought an item in another star system - EVE New Citizens Q&A (2024)

You can see ALL your stuff if you click on the "Assets"-icon on your Neocom (the vertical thing on the left of your screen).

This will show you all the systems and stations you have stuff in. You can even rightclick that station to set your route there.

One drawback however: This list is delayed for five minutes, so any stuff you bought in another station will not immediately show up there.

To locate an item, use the assets tab on the left (ALT + T), and use the search tool.
You will then need to go to that location, and open the inventory to pick up the item you've purchased.

In the future, make sure you always double check what the location is of items you purchase on the market

It's easier to open up your market transactions tab and see what the system and station name is for the last purchased item. I think you can now also right click and set destination to that station from this entry as well.

Undock/Dock should refresh the list.

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. …"

I think you can set the market results to only show items in the local systems.

Cant remember how...as I'm still learning also:)

Yes, if you set your market to sort by "Jumps" then the items in "Station" (same station as you) or "System" (same system as you) will show up at the top.

Though it's better to sort by price ascending and just look at the number of jumps column to see how far away the item being sold is, and go into your setting on the market and exclude low and null sec stations so you don't accidentally buy something that looks like a bargain in low sec and find it's a trap.

Dropdown box above the tabs (browse, search, quickbar) on the left-hand pane. Options are:

"Station" -- show stuff JUST where you're docked. Pretty useless, TBH. This option not available when undocked.
"System" -- show stuff JUST in the local system you're in. 50/50 on how useful it is... I'd honestly say it's only useful til you get into something that can haul a (packaged) frigate plus fittings (so, once you get off the trial, and can use the [Racial] Industrial skill).
"Region" -- See everything, everywhere in the local region. Most useful, IMO. Though, you have to be careful you're not doing something dumb (e.g. buying your ship + fittings from different stations, or in lowsec or something*)

*assuming you're not intending to go into lowsec.

Personally, when I'm doing something "big" (like fitting a new ship), I'll kit it out in EFT (pyfa works too, if that's what you prefer), and then look thru the region (ingame) or Eve-Central (et. al., out of game) to see where I can get everything (or as much of everything as possible). Ususally it works out to be the hubs (Jita, Amarr, Dodixie, etc), though sometimes you can get a steal by buying the hull "at home", and then flying to get the modules from a hub, or a jump or two over.

Now, thing is there's a point where flying farther to save a few ISK isn't practical (e.g. I'll pay a little more to get that module 3 jumps out, and not have to go 37 jumps to get one that's 50k cheaper)

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

THIS^^ is by far the easiest and fastest, because your searching just the item you purchased and dont have to guess what system/region it might be in. And yes you can set destination. If the OP didnt know what system it was sold from how could he search his assets in an efficient manner?....the wallet nvr lies...
