What's the quicker method to gain faction standing ????

Such as "Gallente Federation" faction standing

Lvl 2 Missions for every 16 Special Mission
Lvl 3 Missions for every 16 Special Mission
Lvl 4 Missions for every 16 Special Mission

Many thanks :)

The fastest way to gain Faction standing is to complete missions for Event Agents.


If you need to repair negative Faction standings, check out the 'Plan'.

Yup I have had a look at that already...

Skills atm can't be trained and are pretty much maxed out already... Training for Tengu and 13 days to go :D ... I can't really do event agents i think as it's a side faction, it's not Amarr, Gallente, Caldari or Minmatar :)

I'm trying to raise my Faction to get a High Sec POS :) However i'm trying to to it as fast as possible.

So I could do lots of Level 2's and then I get the Special Agents quicker as missions are easier and get through a lot more in a day
or
I do level 4's, and do Special Agents when they come up.

Question is, does the event agent give u more or less depending on the missions you were doing for the majority of those 16 missions that was done beforehand ?

I assume by side faction you mean Khanid or Ammatar.

The fastest way IMO is to blitz level 3s, in a well fit / skilled drake you should be able to knock out 4 - 5 missions per hour and if you don't mind doing missions against the opposing faction you save time declining and moving to another agent.

So running level 3s you should be able to get a storyline once per 3 hour session or thereabouts, depends if the agent likes throwing Blockades at you as they will slow you down a bit.

Compare that to L4 missions where you might get a lot of blitz-able ones then a bunch of more long winded ones - probably only going to average 2 - 3 missions per hour over time. Sure the standings are better but storylines are going to come slower.

Each storyline agent has a pool of missions that they draw from randomly - what you were doing prior to getting the storyline mission is irrelevent.

Event Agents and Storyline Agents are different. A Storyline Agent can only be accessed after contacting you for completing 16 regular missions. The Event Agents can be accessed after you contact them if you have the correct amount of standing.

They both give derived standings, positive and negative, towards all Factions.

Both Ammatar Mandate and Khanid Kingdom Factions have some Event Agents available to gain instant Faction standing increase without grinding 16 regular missions for storyline. They both have Data Center and Cosmos Agents, unfortunately they don't have very many available. Data Center Agents will accept either Corporation or Faction standing for access. Cosmos Agents only accept Faction standing for access.

Khanid Kingdom Event Agents
3x Data Center Agent - level 1
1x Cosmos Agent - level 4

Ammatar Mandate Event Agents
8x Data Center Agent - level 1 thru 4
2x Cosmos Agent - level 3 and 4


Also wanted to point out that there's actually 8 different Factions that control high sec systems. Only 6 of those Factions have Starbase Charters available for Capsuleers to anchor POS in high sec systems and requires the player corp to have a specific amount of unmodified Faction standing.

Amarr Empire
Ammatar Mandate
Caldari State
Gallente Federation
Khanid Kingdom
Minmatar Republic

The other 2 Factions that control high sec systems don't offer Starbase Charters to Capsuleers.

Concord Assembly
The Interbus

Anyway, the Data Center Agents should be easy enough to access. Every little bit of Faction standing increase will help the corp standing. Good luck to you.

Not going to argue this AGAIN, but you should do two things.

1. Blitz 16 level 3 missions in your drake and run the level 3 storyline mission. Record the time it took to run the 16 kill missionsand the % faction increase you get from the level 3 storyline.

2. Run 16 level 4 courier missions in a speed fit industrial and run the level 4 storyline mission. Record the time it took to run the 16 courier missions and the % faction increase you get from the level 4 storyline.

Compare time spent running the 16 missions and the % increase you get from the storylines on each level.

You might be surprised

Just blitz the level 4's. You can easily get 5-6 missions per hour. You just need to know how to blitz them Blink

Valuable information ^_^v

So it seems good to go for Ammatar Mandate or Khanid Kingdom POS's ^_^
Will look into those other agents soon :)
Thanks :D
