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 have diplmoacy at 4 and the others.

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

Have you read the standings repair plan that DMC did ?? https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=10212

Data missions are pretty easy to do if you have isk. There are also players that will fleet you and run missions while you sleep to boost standings.. for a fee of course.

... What next ??

As GordonO suggested, check out the 'Faction Standing Repair Plan', especially the Pirate Standings section. 'The Plan' lists all available options with different links to various guides and info which is very helpful.

The first step is to train the various Social skills up to level 5 asap starting with Diplomacy. Diplomacy level 5 will raise a -10.00 standing up to -6.00 standing.

Cosmos Agents can only be accessed with Faction standing and can only be completed once in the characters lifetime. The Epic Arcs however can be completed every 3 months for a large Faction standing increase.

As for accessing the Pirate Epic Arcs, there's 3 different starting agents available, one Pirate and two Empire. All you need is +3.00 Faction or Corp standing for access. If going with Corp standing, then the Faction needs to be above -2.00 standing.

With Social and Criminal Connections trained up to level 5, completing the Pirate Epic Arc will gain +32% Faction standing increase which will basically turn your negative standing into neutral or positive standing, thus allowing you to easily access other Guristas Agents.

The Guristas Epic Arc - Smash and Grab - starting agents are:

Agent = Arment Caute
Agent Level = 3
Corporation = Federal Intelligence Office
Faction = Gallente Federation
Location = Orvolle system


Agent = Atma Aulato
Agent Level = 3
Corporation = Ytiri
Faction = Caldari State
Location = Obe system


Agent = Yada Vinjivas
Agent Level = 3
Corporation = Guristas
Faction = Guristas
Location = Taisy system

Good luck and much success to you.

All you need is one of the 3 entry agents to give you the mission offer and you are good to go.
iirc standings are not checked on the epic arcs after that.

From Evelopedia: ''Only the starting Agents look at standings for access to the Epic mission arcs. They will accept standings modified by Social skills for access. ''

Don't expect Guristas to be forgiving when you've gone to town on them so hard Stalin seems like Santa Claus...

ah but you can totally piggy-back on some missions from anothe alliance members toon, and then they'll be like, "we're best friends again, all that other shoosting was just a misunderstanding!"

An old thread I have bookmarked about the issue.

http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=1523317

Edit: It's been a long time but I had the same problem and can't quite remeber how I fixed it.

you say your standings is 3.07. I seem to remember that the epic arc agents might be like the COSMOS agents in that they look at your REAL standings (standing unmodified by any skill) rather than you modified standings.

For example, I had +5 standings to Gallente after the game calculated the standing plus my connections skill. Without the connection skill my standing to Gallente Federation was 3.50 ir some such. So I grinded more missions for gallente navy to get storyline missions and when my real standings were above +5, i could use all the gallente lvl 4 COSMOS agents.

Don't know if any of this helps, maybe someone else knows what's going on.

Are your Ytiri standings above -2.0? If not, you won't be able to use the Caldari agent until you fix that.

Doh, that means i forgot the obvious question of "did you relog after getting your standings above 3".

Most of the time when I grind a toon up to a certain level, I would get there (say, +5 with a new level 4 toon) and not be able to pull any missions. I'd relog and BAM, the game properly reads my standings.

Good luck with Guristas

I think you might be mistaken, please allow me to set the record straight.

I've completed almost all of the Cosmos Agents and Epic Arc's available within this game. For as long as I can remember, all Agents, Corporations and Factions look at and accept standings modified by Social skills.

Every once in a while though an exception is encountered, such as a bug occurring or the server not acknowledging the updated client.


EDIT:
Gratz to the OP for gaining access to the Epic Arc, good luck and much success to you.
