Capsuleer Day XXI ran 30 April - 30 May 2024 - the first month-long edition without a 20th-anniversary excuse - built around Desolate Collapsed Conduit hacking sites and Abyssal Battlefields, with up to 650k SP for Omega and the persistent +50%-to-+75% PvP loot drop carry-over.
Capsuleer Day XXI - twenty-first anniversary (2024)
30 April 2024 to 30 May 2024 - a full month. The 2024 edition codified the month-long event window introduced as a one-off for Capsuleer Day XX the prior year. With no twentieth-anniversary justification this time, the extended window simply became the new normal - and CCP have stayed at roughly that length for every anniversary since.
The XXI site arc was built around two content lines, both layered onto the Triglavian / Abyssal-Deadspace subsystem that Into The Abyss had introduced in 2018:
- Desolate Collapsed Conduit hacking sites in highsec, lowsec, and nullsec - explorable signature-scan content with hacking minigame loot.
- Abyssal Battlefields accessed via specialised filaments handed out as event rewards, with four difficulty tiers.
The login ladder broke records: 125,000 Skill Points for Alpha over the 30 days, and an additional 525,000 SP + 26,500 EverMarks + Society of Conscious Thought ship hulls for Omega - a total Omega-side allocation of roughly 650,000 Skill Points that became the headline marketing number for the event. The Agency challenge campaign added points-tracked combat and exploration tasks unlocking SoCT boosters, ship SKINs, filament crates, and Glamourex crates at 75-point intervals up to 1,350 points.
The PvP loot-drop boost (50% -> 75%) that had been a temporary XX mechanic returned for XXI as well - at this point essentially a recurring anniversary tradition. XXI also continued the multi-day SKIN rotation in the New Eden Store and the standard daily-login claim window.
By the end of 2024 the "Capsuleer Day = month-long event window with daily-login + Agency-task ladder + themed Abyssal/SoCT combat content + 50->75% PvP loot drop" formula had stabilised. The next two years (XXII Nexus Reckoning, XXIII Warpath) would each rotate the theme but keep this scaffolding intact.
