Missions & Complexes

Hello Jeremiah Saken,

Thanks for posting. I'll try to help as best as I can.

First thing to do is train level 5 in Connections and Social. The skill Connections will raise your current positive standings and Social will increase the amount of standing gained for completing missions.

Since you already have positive standing with the 4 main Empire Factions, all you really need to access the Epic Arcs is +5.00 standing with the Corporation of the starter Agents.

I suggest running regular level 3 missions for Impetus (Gallente) and Brutor Tribe (Minmatar) to gain access to their Epic Arcs. Decline the Storyline mission offers so you won't diminish your Amarr and Caldari standings. Also don't forget to decline all Anti-Empire encounter missions

You can also run the level 1 SoE Epic Arc and choose one of the four main Factions for completion. In this case I suggest Minmatar since they're the lowest. Also all of the Epic Arcs can be redone every 90 days. There's a few missions that incur negative standings for ship kill but the amount is very small.

Once you have access to all of the Epic Arcs, it will be much easier to maintain Amarr and Caldari Faction standing while increasing Gallente and Minmatar Faction standing.

I use Mission Reports as a guide for the Epic Arcs. Be sure to read the comments section at the bottom of each mission page.

Hope this helps to get you started, if you have any more questions please feel free to ask.

Since it's Destroyer class hull I don't see any reason why they couldn't be used.

Course if in doubt, the mission briefing should say if they're allowed or not allowed to access the mission site.

Yup, that's why I asked. I'll bring both just in case; I keep forgetting that I still have a Bowhead for some dumb reason.

I did the whole SoE arc with this

This ship will do any mission in the arc without needs to refit and all the gates will let you through

You can do with T2 mids and T1 rigs without issues as well, I just wanted something to be stable while running MWD and opted for T2 rigs since they aren't that much more ISK. If you opt for T2 mids, you might run in some cap issues where you can replace nozzles for CPU rig. Nozzles are kinda useless if you travel in propulsion mode since you have 2 seconds align anyways. I use them because I kept this thing in sharpshooter mode in systems, and propulsion mode when traveling between systems.

Hey, I'm not working the plan to repair anything in particular, but to make a gal trader

I started off as the plan said but have not alternated from minny to gal yet, I did the career, circle, data, and cosmos and am up to 7.84 minny and 7.05 gal

Now my understanding is that if I ran the minny epic arc it would really do nothing for me, is that correct? at least in regards to gal standings...


Also I know that derived standings go up to 8..,. so do you have any idea, even an estimation on how advantageous it would be for me to run minny missions now till my gal standings hit 8

Then moving to gal space and starting... career, circle, data etc etc as well as both gal and soe epics arcs

basically I wanna get as close to 10 as possible...

Thanks :)

Ok, I'll switch over now... when all is said and done I'll post what standings I end up with

I know when I did it with my jita trader I ended up 9+ unmodified it'll be interesting what I end up with a gal trader

What worries me with gal is the apparent lack of cosmo content... I havent done an exhaustive search for a definitive list yet but at a glance it seems to be the faction with the least cosmos.

I've been tossing around the idea when I'm done just to take a char and run all 4 sets of cosmos and make a guide for all highsec cosmos for all 4 factions since it seems like everything out here has broken links and is hard to follow these days... I know most were done back when eve was newish, and that most ppl would say eve is dieing so no need for a guide but I personally think eve will be around for awhile yet.

the german one is a good site, I always dismissed it cause I saw it was german but with translator its fine, hell even without it at least it gives a good list of every agent


have you ever done the low sec minny ones? any idea if they are as horrendously camped as the caldari? I'm skipping them but it would be nice to know if t hey were easy or not for future reference.

cool, thanks for the information

I plan on making a trading website eventually and probably will reference some aspects of what Ive learned from this thread about increasing standings, I'll give you and 'the plan' credit of course :)

Well I decided to go into lowsec and mess with those before I flip to gall so for your reference with good social skills you can go from neutral to 8.41 Minny and 7.9 Gal... unmodified of course

Now having said that I did make 1 single mistake in that I also turned in 1 gall standings cosmos while I was in that lowsec system, the proving your mettle one

I also did the Ison Tiadala mission we were talking about and let me just say be sure to have a nice buffer as it hit my caldari standings pretty hard on my main combat char... I was however able to get through all that series with a tengu, though it took a bit of time.

another thing to keep in mind, that brought my modified minny standings up enough to turn in the first cosmos that get you BPCs, Mutama Czeik in Barkirk, my m odified after that was still only 8.72 so I stopped with Mutama, so I suppose if I was really anal about it I could grind missions till 9.6 or whatever it is and turn in Thoras tags and then to 9.9 and turn in Makors tags....

That would bring me up to 8 unmodified derived in gal but honestly, .1 gal standings is not worth that much extra work so I am just making the switch now.

Anyway... Tomorrow I plan on making the move to gal space so I'll keep you updated

unfortunatly I didnt keep any real documentation.. I was doing it late and wasn't thinking.

I have made my flip to gal space and started at a 7.9 umodified and in case your curious heres what it was after each career area

8.09 then 8.26 then 8.41

my circle agent turn in brought me to 8.43

after that I did the data centers, did the 2 with only 2 agents followed by the bigger one they went

8.47 then 8.52 then the last big one brought me to 8.87 standings


Next I'll start hitting cosmos but that will probably take a couple days so I'll let ya know what I'm at when I finish that... then i'll move on to gal epic and lastly soe epic and finally on to just plain grinding missions if that doesnt bring me to my goal, although I would imagine this will bring me to 9.4ish when all is said and done so we'll see... I may just end up running missions for federation navy standings more than gal standings. (for the corp standing in dodixie)

anyway, that's it for now and on my next char that I do standings I'll be sure to document everything so we can get some up to date screenshots and info. I plan on having a guy in every hub then after that I imagine I'll do a lil repairing on my combat char lol.
