You can follow the Gallente Path only if you have enough [[NPC standings#Skills|Unmodified Standing]]:

EVE Online displays only Effective Faction Standings. To help you calculate the Unmodified Faction Standings use [[User:Chris Halsky|Chris Halsky]]'s [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-H30NZjdxuHW8KXeIUiTF2DoQTziTsL346c7dPL7_cM/edit?usp=sharing Sheet] to calculate the required Standings from Effective Faction Standings.
== Step 7: Deviating from the Path ==
* Step 3: Career agents - you can skip this step if you have the required Unmodified Standings:
///Table goes here
* Step 5: Re-balance Standings - you can skip this step if you have the required Unmodified Standings:
///Table goes here
You can also use Sheet (link it) to check if your standings are good enough to start Epic Arcs - they are marked as "Milestone 1" and "Milestone 2" in 'Simulator' sheet. If during Step 3 you achieve standings higher than Milestone 1, you can proceed to first Epic Arc. Similiar with Step 5 and Milestone 2.
== Step 3: Career Agents ==
Complete any two out of three [[Career Agents|Career Agent]] Mission chains for each Empire in the following order:
# Caldari
# Amarr
# Caldari
# Amarr
# Gallente
# Minmatar
# Gallente
# Minmatar
Do this to keep both Caldari and Amarr Faction Standing high while at the same time reaching 5.0 Faction Standing with both Gallente and Minmatar so you can start their [[Epic arcs|Epic Arcs]].
== Step 4: First Epic Arcs ==
With {{sk|Connections|V|icon=yes}} and 3.81 Unmodified Standings or {{sk|Connections|V|icon=yes}} and 4.10 Unmodified Standings you are able to start Gallente and Minmatar Epic Arcs. Run them both, while avoiding faction standing losses (Minmatar has unavoidable standing loss of 0.004 with Amarr, it's included in Ploy calculations<!--
This bracket is swapped with brackets in point 6 for Caldari/Amarr
-->). This will raise Gallente and Minmatar to 4.75 - which allows us to lower them in next step, while gaining standings for Caldari and Amarr.
== Step 5: Re-balance Standings ==
This is the tedious step. Right now storyline missions give very small net standings gains, they only shift them around. What you need to achieve are (minimum) the following standings:<br><br>
Gallente - 3.81<br>
Minmatar - 3.81<br>
Caldari - 3.00<br>
Amarr - 2.30<br>
<br>
To get to that point, you need to run 7 Storyline missions with 1% reward - faster storylines to farm come from L2 Distro missions. Simply run L2 distro missions for Major and Minor enemy factions, either swapping them every couple of missions, or start with Major enemy and run it until Chosen faction drops to 3.96. If you choose corps required for Step 6 - it will shorten whole process<br>
Another option are L3 Security missions - there is one missions chain ([New Frontiers]) and one Storyline mission chain ([Kidnappers Strike]) with very good standings rewards.<br><br>
With this step Gallente and Minmatar are complete - you should have effective standings for both above 5.0.
* Step 5: Re-balance Standings -  You can replace Storyline missions with Career agents, COSMOS or Datacenters - important thing is to achieve desired standings at the end of this step.
== Step 6: Final Epic Arcs ==
To Close the gap for two remaining factions, you need:<br>
* Caldari - run faction Epic Arc
* Amarr - run faction Epic Arc, then SoE Epic Arc - the order is important if you started with minimum standings!
In both of these arcs, avoid standings losses with other Empires (Caldari Arc has 2 missions with Gallente ships, avoid destroying them).
