This is an incorrect question. The correct question should be, "at a specific volume of trading, how long would it take to begin seeing a return from paying someone a specific amount of isk to boost my standing."

This is a no lose investment, and so long as you have the isk you should pay for it because everytime you make a trade you lose funds that could have been earned toward paying back the investment in this service.

The answer is as soon as you can.

Also remember that faction standing is purely on you :)

I do it on my own- if you are trading, you could simply run missions in the same region, that way you trade, run missions and boost standings at the same time. Of course I do it only when I am bored sitting at the station or when there are no new TV series to watch. Big smile My broker fee is almost the lowest possible now, yet I am still doing missions...Why? Because of the few extra funds, action I get and because I want 10/10 standings even if it takes forever. I am not in a hurry. :)

I am still at 9.99. And I want 10 base, not after connections 5 :) As for faction - it will really take forever, especially how I don't like doing Penumbra quite often :) (like every 3 months). Oh, I did all tutorials for all races...I am so sick of them now.

Is there a difference in standing increase per mission between, say, Distribution & Security fields?

Thanks Smile

The bad standings are purely because the other groups like me Roll

Faction standing is 133% more important than corp, and you need to do it yourself.

So don't think you can just pay someone else to do it all for you.

IMO sharp diminishing returns kick in around 7.0 faction standing (which will come with a mid to high 9s corp standing).

Join faction warfare - the first few promotions should be easy to do and will give you a decent faction standing boost. If you can be bothered, that is.
