Why would you want to do this ? plenty more rats if you take more missions plus time reward and more LP

Depends how many agents you have access to. The 'farming' is limited to once a day.

ok thanks for the replies,
how does farming work in a mulitple part mission do i not need to complete part 1 and hand it in to get part 2,3,4,5. am guessing the rat i need to avoid killing is the final one in part 5?

Don't finish the mission you want to farm. If you want to farm number 5 in a series, then it's number 5 you don't finish. If you want to farm number 3 in a series, then it's number 3 your don't finish.

just don't finish the part you want to farm :)

Some missions have a ton of bounty and loot compared to LP and time bonus. And you can still do other missions either blitzing or looting in the meantime.

in multi part each part is its own mission. so part 2 does not rely on part 1. you can farm part 1 all week, then on run 7 (or is it 8?) complete the mission, turn it in. then you receive part 2 from the agent. rinse and repeat.

also mining

Some mission instances spawn roids that never appear normally in your local space.

There's little point in farming worlds collide now that the faction spawn rate was curbstomped.

I'm not even sure if there is a faction spawn anymore.

I farmed the same mission for 4 months straight..

2 accounts. 6 chars all doing the same mission.

enemies abound. 3/5

on the last day I would petition the mission.. and it was reset. regular as clock work.
eventually a gm caught on and refused to reset my missions.
yes I took massive faction standing hits.. was -10.0 to both matar and galante

did this for two reasons.
1 so many others abused it I bought it to their attention.
2 it made me 3b a week, at the time . from tags and loot.

tbh I didn't think I would get away with it for so damn long.

basically the best way to farm a mission is have alts with the right standings and social skills.
run the mission once a day and after every unscheduled down time.
hand it in on the last day and cycle mission offered to alts till they get offered the mission again.

tbh its better to just get a new mission over farming a single mission for a week/month
