I have tried to find out more about epic arc missions and have a guristas lvl 3 q20 Epic Arc agent available in station. It says that minimum standing is 5.00 and atm im at 6.9. But for some reason agent is still unavailable for me. when i try to request mission it does not reject me in a GTFO way but it says that he is busy with someone else and i should come back later. i`ve tried several times in the last week but always the same result. Anyone knows why ?


Agent respone -

I'm sorry, but what I've got is promised to another pilot already. Could you come back later?

Have you done the mission already in the last 3 months? Also I would check you have the correct standings with he correct Corp/Faction.

You also need a faction standing of greater than -2.0. If you're the typical agent runner who killed a lot of pirates and then switched teams, you might find that although your corp standing is 6.9, your faction standing is quite bad.

Weren't the pirate Epic arc missions the ones that start at 'normal' faction agents?

http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Epic_mission_arcs

So for Angel Cartel you can start at Minmatar and Amarr agent
For Guristas you can start at some Caldari or Gallente agent as well.

Info might be outdated though.

EDIT: By the way, agents don't have quality anymore. At least it doesn't show on the agents info.

You can start at one of 3 agents for each pirate arc. Do a web search, there are plenty of guides for these.

So, quick question: does that mean that it is possible to accept and use those arcs to fix deep negative standings with pirate factions?

Yes, one single run of the angel arc brought my -9.95 angel faction standing to around -2 or so

According to the Datloran Guide for the Guristas Epic Arc, "this particular epic arc has three starting locations..."

1) Orvolle System (minimum of 4.35 effective standing with Federal Intelligence Office)
2) Obe System (minimum of 4.35 in effective standing with either Ytiri Corporation or Caldari State Faction)
3) Taisy System (4.35 with either Guristas corporation or Guristas Pirates Faction)

After starting the arc, as with all other epic arcs, standings don't matter.

Hope that helps.

Hmmm, pirate epic arcs? Now, that is something I have a little experience with. I can also do you a great deal. steak knives and all.

A fair bit of basic info in that posting thread, as well as access to our product if you're interested in making them much easier.

I guess I am almost a 'vet' by now. Hopefully not too bitter and managing to help more than I hinder. I build and sell many things, including large collections of bookmarks.
