The Ploy: Gallente Path
| |||||
The Ploy: Gallente Path is a guide to completing The Ploy for those who have high Gallente Faction Standing.
You can follow the Gallente Path only if you have the required Unmodified Standings:
| Required Standing |
 Connections IV
|
Connections V
|
|---|---|---|
| Gallente | 3.67 | 3.09 |
| Caldari | 1.60 | 0.97 |
| Minmatar | 3.67 | 3.10 |
| Amarr | 1.00 | 0.38 |
EVE Online displays only Effective Standings. Chris Halsky's Sheet will suggest which Path you should take based on your current Standings.
Step 1: Career Agents
You need to achieve at least the following Unmodified Standings:
| Required Standing |
Connections IV
|
Connections V
|
|---|---|---|
| Gallente | 4.29 | 3.93 |
| Caldari | 2.19 | 1.79 |
| Minmatar | 4.29 | 3.93 |
| Amarr | 1.58 | 1.17 |
Complete any ten out of fifteen Career Agent Mission chains for each Empire in the following order:
- 5 Caldari
- 5 Amarr
- 5 Caldari
- 5 Amarr
- 5 Gallente
- 5 Minmatar
- 5 Gallente
- 5 Minmatar
Do this to keep both Caldari and Amarr Faction Standings high while also reaching 5.0 Faction Standing with both Gallente and Minmatar so you can start their Epic Arcs.
You can skip Step 1: Career Agents and proceed to Step 2: First and second Epic Arc if you have the required Unmodified Standings.
Step 2: First and second Epic Arc
Complete the Epic Arcs in the following order:
Avoid destroying Amarr ships during the Church Of The Obsidian Epic Arc Mission. The Ploy assumes you will lose no more than 0.004 Amarr Faction Standing during the whole Epic Arc.
Step 3: Re-balance Standings
You need to achieve at least the following Unmodified Standings:
| Required Standing |
Connections IV
|
Connections V
|
|---|---|---|
| Gallente | 4.11 | 3.81 |
| Caldari | 3.27 | 2.93 |
| Minmatar | 4.11 | 3.82 |
| Amarr | 2.62 | 2.26 |
In addition, you will need 5.0 Effective Standing with:
- Gallente
- Minmatar
- Caldari's Expert Distribution Corporation
- Amarr's Ministry of Internal Order Corporation
To achieve the required Standings you need to complete seven Storyline Missions:
- for Caldari Corporations for +1% Caldari Standing reward
- for Amarr Corporations for +1% Amarr Standing reward
To generate the Storyline Missions you can run missions for Caldari's Expert Distribution and Amarr's Ministry of Internal Order Corporations. This will simultaneously increase your Corporation Standings and allow you to start the Caldari and Amarr Epic Arcs.
Instead of Storyline Missions you could do:
- Career Agent Missions
- COSMOS Missions
- Data Center Missions
Step 4: Third, forth and fifth Epic Arc
Complete the Epic Arcs in the following order:
- Penumbra
- Right to Rule
- The Blood-Stained Stars in which you will side with Amarr
Avoid destroying Gallente ships in Penumbra.
