Is there a trick I didn't find or anything that would allow me to restart?

It is a fair boost and with my new skills, I would gain even more if I did it twice.

The epic arcs can involve a lot of travel, but many of the missions can be accepted and/or completed remotely to reduce travel time. Epic arc missions do not expire, and each arc can be repeated every three months.

No tricks or techniques, you just need to visit Sister Alitura again in the Arnon system and request a new mission. She will inform you that restarting the Epic Arc will remove all record of it from your journal and when you agree you'll begin it again. The only thing is that you need to have waited the number of days until it will be available again (It based on days, not three calendar months, so if you completed it on April 30th it will not be available on June 1st)

Does the Standing changes back to zero? Or diminishes in any ways before?

No you will get the same reward (Added on to your existing standings) each time you complete it.

Things that keep me up at night;  Why do we use a voice communication device to send telegraphs? Moore's Law should state, Once you have paid off the last PC upgrade you will need another.

Standings are unchanged. You gain 5% iirc for your chosen faction at the end nomatter how many times you've run it.

That means I can easily reach level 4 now.
I can also help others to reach level 4.

I could probably reach level 5 doing level 3 missions but it may take longer depending.

I got it wrong yesterday too, it's 7%.

An easy way to see when the Arc will be available again is view the date of when it was last completed and just count off 90 days. -

'Dal Segno al Fine' is the name of the final mission of the arc which will be listed in the Character Sheet / Standings section - select 'Show Transactions' on the Faction used to complete it last time.

I'm not sure how to do that.
I did it for Gallente, but I couldn't see it show.

You can do every single one of the Epic arcs every 3 months. Not just the sisters arcs. All of the epic arcs can be repeated over and over.

You cannot however redo the datacentre agents. The huge standing gain from those is a once only thing.

If you completed the level 1 Sisters Of Eve Epic Arc for Gallente, then the name of the arc's last mission - Dal Segno al Fine - should be listed in the Transactions record of the Gallente Faction standings.

Maybe I didn't explain how to view it correctly last time - Open your character sheet - select the 'Standings' section - select 'Liked By' tab - right click on Gallente Faction and select 'Show Transactions'. A list will show all positive and negative standing changes with a percentage amount, date and time. All direct positive standing changes will list the mission name. All derived standing changes will only show the percentage amount, date and time

If the name of the mission isn't listed, then it's been well over 90 days and is probably available.

As for the 'Show Transactions' record list itself, either it only goes back for 1 year or it get's deleted at the start of each year. I forget which one it is but I do know it will only show recent transactions.

I don't see the show transaction record yet, but I find that the Epic Arc in :
the Epic Journal Tab of the Journal shows:

in Closing In
the last part of the SOE Epic Arc:
4th and 3rd mission from last:
* You chose a faction to work with to apprehend Dagan.
* You allied with Brus Colterne of the Gallente Federation.


Edit @ 07:44:
As for the Right-clicked Standing record information with the Gallente standing or empire faction standing, I finally found it.
I never saw that field being right clicked before.
I will take a screenshot.


-=-=-
Edit 2:

It shows a bonus of 8.4%

The name of the report is called:
Standings Transactions - From Gallente Federations To "pilot name"

Recon (1 of 3) paid:
2.142 %

2.0093 % The Blockade
-2.3512 % The Blockade failed

3.3482 % Downing the Slavers (2 of 2)

2.5683 % The Spy Stash
2.4512 % Silence the Informant

2.6383% - Pirate Invasion

If that is all you are after, it might be faster to just turn in tags at data centers. I've done the SOE arc a few times, the downside is that there are 50 missions, they take little effort to complete, then you are constantly moving from gate to gate from one agent to the next; takes a lot of time. You get standing from all empires, but those doing those lvl3 missions really fast (screw loot - just BLITZ them) you may get mission standings much-much faster. Change of pace? do the Arcs. Just working on getting to lvl4 missions? Blitz run missions like a mad hatter. Alternatively, you may be able to buy up some standings from data centers.

I didn't the rest of the post yet.

I did about 1 or 2 data center mission as they are linked or something, like a storyline if you will.

The problem is that, it pays more to do those with max Social skills.
Mine are not the best yet.

Well I'd say just don't worry about it. If you are trying to get to lvl4 missions, and with enough skill to do it, just go with blitzing missions. When you take a mission, you can find how to blitz that mission from eve survival dot com, scroll down to the bottom of each mission page. Go to a ~0.6 security system and just do mission as fast as you can. When I am grinding lvl3 missions to get to lvl4, it takes me 10-15 minutes each mission on avg (at low SP levels). I only care about the standings gains. As long as you don't lose ships, all you lose is ammunition, and the mission rewards pays for that easily. lvl4 missions pay waaaaaaaay better than lvl3 missions, they are not newbie missions like lvl1-3 missions are. Just do them, lvl3's, in an cruiser such as a Caracal or in a battlecruiser such as a Drake (or whatever empire you fly- BC's do very well), doesn't take but a few days to get into something able to own lvl3 missions.


Anyway, the SOE mission arc, as a mission runner, I see only two benefits:
1. Something different to do. I did it recently for the third time, ran it in an AF (Ҥ4ὧҠ - and was way overkill). If a next time, maybe in a Kitsune.
2. Gives faction standings all empire. I don't care about, myself, only for Caldari and Amarr standings. I don't run missions or FW missions for the other two empires.

I was going to have no accounts for 3 months or longer and do the Blood Stained Stars mission again.


However, I got a fitted BS back again, for around 300m or 400m ISK.
I also got an Orca and transferred the Prospect from the BS pilot to the Orca pilot so he could fly it.

Then, I was told that I couldn't use my account from a store.

So, on top of that, that is another reason why it'd be easier for me to do once per 3 months.
