Hey peeps o/

As my title says, i have -9.9 faction standing with Guristas, that kinda screw my plan to mission with them.
I've been reading lot of advice / forums / guides to recover this horrible standing.
I've traing dipomacy and such skills to help.

For what i understoud, I'm pretty screwed and can't do guristas epic arc (need above -2 faction standings)
And COSMOS missions will takes ages, as its available every 3 month right?

I'm left with lvl1 missioning like freak to get a storyline every 16 missions (courier missions is faster solution here).
Or missionning for Sanshas and blood raiders, to get "transversal" standings.

I was wondering what is my best option between those two.
Thanks in advance mates

If your in fleet with someone that completes it you can gain the standings boost.(Last mission of the epic arc)


Other option (Better one) Use an alt to grab the missions

Using an alt for grabbing missions should be a solution, problem is I want to do everything on my own with this char.
It will be in 0.0 hostile space, my alt will have problems at station/gates camp to make me warp on missions.
Finding someone willing to share last mission of the epic arc fond standing boost will be hard too.

Still hearing for best advices/solutions here :/

You can do the gurista arc even if your guristas faction standings are -10.0 - you just need high enough caldari or gallente standings to get the initial mission from either the caldari or the gallente agent that opens the arc. Once you've started the arc, the agents inside it don't look at your faction standings at all.

You can do the gurista arc if you have standings of >3.0 after skills with caldari state, gallente federation, federal intelligence office, or ytiri.

If you have OK social skills (at least diplomacy IV and social IV), completing the arc will raise your gurista faction standing to above -2.0 even if you start out at -10.0.

Unfortunately Faction standing gains can not be shared with fleet members.

To the OP,

Training Diplomacy lv 5 will raise -10 negative Faction standing up to -6.00 Faction standing. After that it's all about grinding missions.

As someone else already stated, the Pirate Epic Arcs have 3 different starting Agents - 1 Pirate and 2 Empire. All you need is +3.00 Corporation or Faction standing to access them. If using Corporation standing for access, then the Faction needs to be above -2.00 standing for access.

If you don't have the required amount of standing with the Empire starting Agents, check out the 'Faction Standing Repair Plan'. It also includes a section about Pirate Factions as well as various Cosmos guide links.

Ahhh, yes. The Lorebook is a good guide. I use that as well as Eve Survival Mission Reports - http://eve-survival.org/wikka.php?wakka=MissionReportsEpicArc

Did grind + standing with federal intelligence office to get access for guristas epic arc (took me approx 4 hours).
Did the guristas epic arc in Venal (took me approx 4 hours witha scout) (400M from gila+ECM).

MAJOR Guristas faction standing boost, I'm now all good with them.
Worked as a charm.

Thks a lot guys.

COSMOS missions are one time deal
Epic arcs can be done every 3 months
