It has been a very long time since I have done missions (bar a few distribution ones recently) and I wondered are missions the best / most efficient way of grinding standing with a NPC corp?

I want to get to the point where I have perfect refine with an NPC corp near me, I think that I need a standing on 6.67 or better to make that happen, sadly I am on a standing of 3.64, I think I will die of old age before I get to 6.67 especially as near me the best I can do is level 3 distribution missions.

So I wondered if there was another way, a quicker way to get standing increase?

Any help appreciated.

Sorry, but don't think there is.

Tags are quite useful for increasing FACTION standings, but not NPC corp standings. There are a number of NPC agents at celestials that hand out large standings increases when you hand them some very expensive tags that can be purchased on the open market.

Same for the epic arc missions. They are brutally tough, but add huge chunks to your faction standings.

Thanks, I figured that was the case, but thought I may as well ask before grinding it up that way. I've tried the Caldari Epic Arc, indeed, very tough, least I found it so, I could always do with faction increase too so I'd take those as well.

It shouldent take too long. A good tip is to do some research and make sure that the closest faction storyline agent to you is in the same corp that you are running missions for. That way the storyline standing bonus, which is bigger, will help your standings grind rather than giving you some standings with some random corp.

I don't know about Distribution missions, but with Security missions, I can get over 6 in a week or two. There are skills that help to, I'd list them, but I am at work...

I have some of the skills, diplomacy at IV) I will spend the other (almost) 5 days getting it to V, the storyline mission was a good idea though, looking now and I am 10 jumps from my nearest, I may give that a try. thanks.

Run distribution missions. They're quick, you can run several of them in parallel if you have even a halfway capacious hauler (Iteron IV or V, Bestower, etc.), and because they're quick, they serve up storyline missions faster than anything else.

And, uh, you really get to know the neighborhood you're in.

I have been doing distribution missions, there is a level 1, 2 and 3 agent in the same area as me, but the storyline agent is a different corp, I am going to move to an area with a higher concentration of missions and ill run multiples, thanks
