I'm just wondering how long it might take to get to a 5.0 faction standing. Anyone know?

^^ THIS ^^

What is the standing of the corp that you are running missions for, towards the faction concerned?

Do you do other stuff as well as just mission running?

How long are you online each week?

How much time do you take out for a pee each time you're online?

Seriously though, it takes much longer to get to +5 than it does to -5. Smile

I am me.         I am not you.     I have my own thoughts.     I am very happy with this situation.

How are you planning on raising the standing? Missions? Tags? Are you talking about one of the 4 main factions, because then you're into storyline missions.

From personal experience, I ground (grinded?) level 2 missions to get as many storylines as possible (9/week or ~150 missions total) for a couple months to get my Minmatar standing from around 2 to above 5.

Ground would seem correct grammatically. Also, I agree with the poster who mentioned distribution missions, assuming that the story lines offered give similar standings gains for lvl 4s. That would probably be faster than using security mission, though you wouldn't be getting as much isk.

That's the response I was looking for. A personal experience account. Thanks for the many responses.

I'll most likely be doing missions for Brutor Tribe. For minnie standing.

I wasn't going to knock his personal experience, but using lvl 2s is the wrong way to go. Yeah, you can blitz 2s much faster for more story lines, but you also gain less standing from them, so that's moot. There isn't really a valid reason to 'step down' in agent level as far as I'm aware.

Fortunately for me I have the common sense to use this as a baseline on what to go by.its all I needed. Thanks.

At the time the best I could fly was a hurricane and my fit was TERRIBLE. Level 3s weren't an option. I can get to 5.0 standing on a new corp now in an afternoon with level 4s.

Less than a day if you do it right.

edit: yes, and that's faction standings with Minmatar.

Maxim 6. If violence wasn’t your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it.
