Jump clones in EVE Online: A beginner’s guide to clone mechanics

 

Inspired by “Medical and Jump clones made easy!” by Gildy (see his video guide below) — updated using CCP Games + EVE University sources.

If you’ve ever felt totally lost navigating EVE’s clone mechanics, you’re in good company. The system changed so many times over the years that most “old wisdom” floating around today is either half-true or straight-up obsolete. So let’s walk through what clones actually are now — clean, current, and stripped of all the old baggage.

Jump clones in 2025 — what they're really all about

First things first: today’s clone system is simple. No more clone grades, no more skill-loss anxiety, no more spreadsheets to figure out which body can hold how many skill points. A clone is just your empty body waiting for your consciousness. That’s it.

Duvolle Laboratories: Get your Clone, Now!

CCP Games seems to be exploring various new ways to promote your favorite capsuleer MMO. Their previous videos and promos were different from the rest of what was currently being done by other MMO publishers, but they were still "typical marketing material". This somewhat changed when they released "The Butterfly Effect" video, which was actually meant to explain what EVE was.

With the Duvolle Laboratories website though, they're expending their marketing efforts in new and original ways. After answering a few questions to see if you qualify for a clone, you're shown the possibilities of your new clone. Depending on your answers you could be starting a new career in Military, Exploration, Business or Industry.

Interesting promo!
