Pirate Epic Arcs Standings Question.

Currently I have -6.00 standings with Gurista Pirates and +2.00 with Guristas.

I did the Epic arc with Guristas Pirates in the hope to get my standings backup with them so I can do lvl 2/3/4 pirate missions.
After trawling through the forums etc I was led to believe doing this would increase my standings with them by a sizeable amount.

I have completed the EPIC arc and my standing have gone -6.00 with Gurista Pirates and +4.00 with Guristas.
Now from what I can see this is a pointless raise because it's not made any difference to the pirates so I will still be stuck having to do lvl 1 missons forever.

How can I get my rep up with the pirates if the epic arc didn't do it? I* don't particulary fancy doing 3000 lvl 1 missions before I can even do lvl 2's.

Haven't got a clue maybe a GM will reply.

Learn Criminal Connections 5.
Also probably you can get small increase making Amarr Epic arc (Sansha Nation path) through Sansha<>Guristas derived modification.

Your need to increase your faction standing to -1.99 to make missions higher than 1 lvl. Should be easy.

Any Social skills trained? If you haven't done so already, train up the Diplomacy skill. That will raise your current negative Faction standings.

As for not receiving any Faction standing increase after completing the lv 3 Guristas Epic Arc, check your standing transactions:

Open Character sheet - 'Standings' menu - 'Disliked by' tab - right click on Guristas Pirates Faction and select 'Show Transactions'. It should list the name of the last epic arc mission along with the time and date as well as the amount of standing gained. The base amount of standing gained is +30% with no Social skills trained.

If no standing increase is listed, then file a petition in-game.



By the way, completing Epic Arcs will not give any derived standings towards the other Factions.

you get a base standing increase of 30% plus any skills ontop.

in my case when I was a true -10.0 with angels I went to just under -3.0 and was able to run missions if I wanted.

remember standing increases are based on what yours are vs +10.0 in my case .

I might be wrong but as far as I know and remember this is how the standings and social skills work with running the Pirate Epic Arc the first time.

At -10.00 Faction standing, Diplomacy level 5 will raise standing to -6.00 Faction standing. With positive Empire Faction standing, access the Pirate Epic Arc via one of the Empire starting Agents (+3.00 standing). Completing the arc with Social 5 trained up will give 37.5% increase (Base is +30%). That should take the Faction well above -2.00 standing, close to being neutral (0.00 standing) which will allow access to high level agents in that particular Pirate Faction in which the Criminal Connections skill would apply.

pretty much this... completing the epic arc should allow you to use at least lvl 1 agents... it will not take long after that to cross over the 0.00 barrier... and as soon as you do things will fly along nicely.

It was something I actually had to end up petitioning, This got cleared up fairly quickly.
