I've read that the mission can be declined, but i have already accepted it. So I really dont want to fail it.

Doh......... for some reason I had turned my 'wrecks' off. God knows anyone following me into this misson over the last few days would have seen tons and tons of corpses :(

Kikusama, you're welcome.

Hope 'The Plan' is helping.

That Caldari Cosmos guide works on my internet browser - Firefox.

There's another Cosmos guide I usually check which is http://www.hb3.info/cosmos/ It needs to be translated but it covers most of the agents for all 4 major Factions.

Must have been a glitch or just a bad day for browsers.



At least it's working now.

Anyway, good luck to you.

Well, I haven't really been working 'The Plan' very much since then, due to waiting for CCP to fix various bugs associated with Cosmos agents. I'm currently working the epic arcs which I hope will unlock the lv 4 cosmos agents.

If you want to get all Empire Factions to have a high positive standing, I would say work all agents listed in 'The Plan'. However, quite a bit of standing can be gained just by completing the Epic Arcs every 3 months. Since you're new, I don't think you have the required skill lv or standing to work the lv 4 epic arcs.

My current stats:

Empire Faction Standings - Modified and (Base):
Amarr Empire +5.56 (+4.45),
Minmatar Republic +5.33 (+4.16),
Gallente Federation +5.28 (+4.11),
Caldari State +5.27 (+4.08),
The Interbus +5.04 (+3.80),
Ammatar Mandate +4.81 (+3.51),
Khanid Kingdom +4.59 (+3.24),
Concord Assembly +2.56 (+0.70),

Social Skills:
Social lv 5
Connections lv 5
Fast Talk lv 5
Diplomacy lv 5
Negotiation lv 5

Data Center Tags Completed:
Minmatar = Angel Crystal and lower - need Gold
Gallente = Serpentis Diamond and lower - need Brass and Gold
Caldari = Guristas Crystal and lower - need Brass
Amarr = Blood Crystal and lower - need Gold
Ammatar = Sansha Crystal and lower

Epic Arcs Completed:
Level 1 Sisters Of Eve = 5x (1x Minmatar, 2x Amarr, 2x Gallente)
Level 4 Amarr = Started (Currently working)
Level 4 Caldari = Started
Level 4 Gallente = Started
Level 4 Minmatar = Started

Tutorial, Career, Circle Agents Completed:
All Empire Factions

Cosmos Agents Completed:
All Empire Factions = level 3 and lower

Special Agents Completed (Security Status):
Christer Fuglesang = Concord
Jeremy Tacs = Concord

Security Status:
+5.85


I'll update my stats again after I complete the Epic Arcs.

sabre906, thanks for posting.

Yeah, I only listed the Factions that control Empire space (High Sec).






Now you wouldn't be trying to hijack 'The Plan' thread with a shameless plug for you business, huh?

Bruenor Danovan,

Thank you very much for posting..

It's always great to hear how 'The Plan' is helping players. It's even better to hear about 'The Plan' being referred to other players when needed.

Hope you have continued success.

Romeo Deluxe, thanks for posting. Yeah, that thread may be old but the info is still good.

Good job at finding an answer to your question, "How does 'The Plan' help raise Ammatar Mandate Faction standing".

First off, training up the Social skills will help a lot. Diplomacy skill to raise current negative Faction standing and Connections skill to raise current positive Faction standings. Also don't forget Social skill and Negotiation skill to help gain max rewards/standings for future interaction with agents.

As was posted in that thread, the Data Center located in the Ferira System has Ammatar Mandate agents that collect Sansha Tags. Those are the only Event Agents that give large Ammatar Mandate Faction standing increase.

The next quickest way to gain Ammatar Mandate Faction standing is from derived standings for completing Amarr and Caldari Event Agent missions.

After that, it's Storyline missions gained from completing 16 regular missions.

Anyway, good luck to you.

Jyla Kenij, thanks for posting and sorry to hear about your little problem.

The group of Circle Agents only give 1 mission for Faction standing increase. If you've never completed those missions before, then a small Faction standing increase should be listed in the character sheet - standings section - 'Liked By' tab - 'show transactions' option by r-clicking on the specific Faction.

Not being granted the Faction standing increase due for mission completion is a problem associated with various Event Agents. It's always a good idea to file a petition in-game if the standing increase isn't automatically added.

As for the Career Agent missions, they can be completed easily even though it may take a bit of time. There's 15 Career Agents per Faction and bypassing them results in missing out on a sizable amount of standing increase.

The fastest way per 'The Plan' for gaining Faction standing increase would be with the Data Center Agents. The 'Cert' missions give a good jump start and the 'Tag' missions give a large standing increase. However, the 'Tag' missions will cost you ISK if you don't already have the required tags.


'The Plan' itself contains links to all Event Agents that give Faction standing increase. It's not intended to be an actual guide per say, it's just a 'Plan' which can be adapted and changed to suit each individual player's needs and objectives.

Anyway, I hope this answers your questions. Good luck to you.

Chung Ju-yung, thanks for posting that info.

It's always good to have confirmation that the Event Agents are still working. If you're working 'The Plan', good luck to you.
