Missions & Complexes

Some of the easier storylines have poor standings increases. Persevere with the level 3s.

quickest ways to level 4 missions?

Ask LVL IV mission runners to fleet you.................

train social to 3 and then connections to 3. Blitz lvl3's and you will be in lvl4's quickly

Wow, that's a blast from the past and thanks for the positive reference. I've updated 'The Plan' and added it to the Evelopedia.

If you work the Event Agents listed in 'The Plan', you can quickly gain high Faction standing which will give you access to all agents of all corporations within that specific Faction.

If you're just looking to build up standing with one specific Corporation very quickly, find a Storyline agent for that specific Corporation that's located in the same system (or next sys over) as a regular mission agent for that specific Corporation.

Let's say the agent located near the Storyline agent is in Mining Division yet your regular mission agent (Security Division) is located 4 jumps away. Complete 15 missions for your regular Security Division agent and then travel to the Mining Division agent that is located near the Storyline agent to complete the 16th mission. This will insure that the Storyline mission offer comes from the Storyline agent in the same Corporation.

Storyline missions give a large Corporation standing increase along with the Faction standing increase. Also Connections skill and Social skill will help a lot.

It appears that you may need to train Connections up a little, as others have said.

if you want lvl 4 agents, you only need 5 standing with one of amarr corporations, not necessarily amarr as faction.

standings at 5 with amarr faction will allow you to make missions with all amarr corporations, but you won't be able to enter gallente and minmatar space. that will cause you more trouble than benefit.

just look for what your best standings with any amarr corporation and do missions for them, and decline missions against caldari, gallente or minmatar (you shouldn't get missions against caldari). also decline storyline missions.

If you have all Empire Faction standings above -5.00 which allows you to enter all Empire space, you can do the level 1 SoE Epic Arc and complete it for Amarr to get around +8.00 Faction standing increase with no derived standings towards the other Factions. It can be completed every 3 months.

For some real quick Faction standing increase, complete the level 1 Amarr Data Center 'Cert' missions. Those will incur derived standings, both positive and negative, towards all Factions though.


EDIT:

As some players have pointed out, I forgot to include some important information with my statement which as it stands gives a wrong impression about game mechanics, ie - not being able to enter high sec Empire space with -5.00 or lower Faction standing. My mistake and the information I forgot to add = "without being attacked by Empire Navy NPC's".

So I'll restate it:

"If you have all Empire Faction standings above -5.00 which allows you to enter all Empire space without being attacked by Empire Navy NPC's, you can do the level 1 SoE Epic Arc and complete it for Amarr to get around +8.00 Faction standing increase with no derived standings towards the other Factions. It can be completed every 3 months."

RE-EDIT:

Guess I'm getting forgetful in my old age. Someone pointed out the percentage sign after the number in the amount of standing gained for completing the lv 1 SoE epic arc wasn't included. So while adding that missing info, I'll go 1 step higher and post the full complete info pertaining to that subject:



Hope everyone is happy, I know I am.

Or keep a neutral shipping alt to move stuff around for you and relish the benefits of high standing with a couple of factions on your main.

Yes, the fail is strong in this thread. Since when did increasing your standing pose such a big risk to your hi-sec access? Train diplomacy or just do 2-3 missions for COSMOS. You should never have have an issue with not being able to go into a rival factions hi-sec. Just stay above -5 which is super easy with diplomacy and enjoy missions from any corp in your preferred faction.

Exactly.
