Hello all. i'm trying to raise my faction with the Emperor Family for station trading in Amarr. I've been reading the starter guide for Greedy Goblin and it says to complete all the tutorial missions to increase standings with Amarr. However, the only standings I see increasing are the corp that controls the tutorial missions.

Is my standing with everything Amarr increasing and I just can't see it somehow? Should I stop running the tutorials and go grind level 2 missions for the Emperor Family or whatever?

The guide says to run all Amarr tutorial missions and then do Caldari too. I'm just not seeing my standing increase with the faction that controls the main Amarr trading hub.

Any tips appreciated.

Normal missions increase standing with the corp in question. Do 16 normal missions, and you will get a story line mission, which will increase faction standing. COSMOS missions and Epic Arc also help with faction standings.

In your case, run Emp Fam missions. At the Amarr station, I think there is a lvl 1 and a lvl 3 agent

You get the faction standings when you complete the tutorial agent arc. So after you do mission 10/10 or whatever for each agent.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

Do all three sets of caldari tutorials.
Do all three sets of amarr tutorials.
Visit all of the caldari data centres having bought before hand the right tags.
Visit all of the amarr and amatar data centres, again with all the tags.

You can stop here, or carry on and do the cosmos missions.

The Faction standing raise from the Tutorials is not very high, though, iirc.
The Sisters of Eve epic arc is fine for raising Faction standings as well (by ~8,5%), does not have any drawbacks (unlike "normal" storyline missions) and can be done every 3 months.
So you might have to eventually run missions or otherwise grind standings for Emperor Family anyway since Corp standings influence taxes as well and are a lot easier to raise.

Another thing of note is that for trading the standings are taken at base value, so social skills do not help here.


Also, not directly related to standings but don´t forget to train Broker Relations and Accounting skills to lower your trading taxes as well.

Edit:
Here is a good chart to calculate your taxes in relation to your standings:

There is an excellent guide on how you can increase your faction standings: http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Faction_Standing_Repair_Plan

For you wanting to do station trading, you don't need to increase your faction standing, though. Increasing your Emperor Family standing is enough. Just run missions for them and it'll go up.
