Circle missions are offered by a type of [[Event Agents]], also known as Circle Agents.

Each Agent in the group will give the player Corporation Standing increase. One to two Agents in the group will give Faction Standing increase. It doesn't matter how many times the circle is completed, the Faction Standing increase is only granted the first time by one to two Agents. There have been reports that some of these Agents are overworked and will no longer offer repeatable missions. However, that information has yet to be verified.

These Agents are all Level 1 and available to all players. Though the agents mostly give out courier missions, some are classified as different types. For statistics tracking, such as in the [[AIR Career Program]], completed missions will count as belonging to the agent type, even though the mission will show up as a courier mission in your logs.

The easiest way to run the missions circle is using T1 Exploration frigate fitted for Level 1 [[Distribution missions#Ship choices|distribution missions]]. Note that you don't need Cargohold Expander due to low cargo space requirements, so feel free to use your low slots for Inertial Stabilizers.
'''WARNING: The first two missions ''will'' route you through Raravoss, whether on safer or shorter route. As of July 2020 this is a Triglavian system where Triglavian NPCs have been known to tackle and pod capsuleers.'''

Each agent refers you to the next agent on the list. The last agent refers you back to the starting agent.

::Mission = '[[To the Front Lines]]'

::Corporation = [[Carthum Conglomerate ]]
 
::Location = Myyhera V Moon 1 - Carthum Conglomerate Factory
 
::Mission = '[[Robotics For Sarum Family]]'
 
::Mission = '[[The Carthum Executive]]'
 
Note that this agent can offer 2 missions, 'The Carthum Executive' gives the faction standing boost. If offered 'Robotics For Sarum Family' you can decline then Start Conversation again (beware of 4 hour cooldown between Agent declines). If offered 'Robotics For Sarum Family' again you can complete the mission but then, instead of continuing the circle, return to Ain Ikani in Youl to restart the circle as a quicker way to retry for 'The Carthum Executive' from Ilia Abazen.
 
  
NOTE: I got 'Robotics For Sarum Family' 4 times in a row (July 2020), following the advice above. With the risk of Raravoss, this loop is less worthwhile.

Latest revision as of 06:18, 1 October 2024

Circle missions are offered by a type of Event Agent, also known as Circle Agents. The agents offer the player small cargo courier missions and when completed, a referral to another Agent in the group. That Agent then refers the player to another Agent who also refers the player to another Agent, etc. Eventually, the player will end up back with the original starting Agent. The 4 major Factions (Amarr Empire, Caldari State, Gallente Federation, Minmatar Republic) each have their own group of 5 to 8 Circle Agents located in high security systems.

Each Agent in the group will give the player Corporation Standing increase. One to two Agents in the group will give a Faction Standing increase. It doesn't matter how many times the circle is completed, the Faction Standing increase is only granted the first time by one to two Agents.

These Agents are all Level 1 and available to all players. Though the agents mostly give out courier missions, some are classified as different types. For statistics tracking, such as in the AIR Career Program, completed missions will count as belonging to the agent type, even though the mission will show up as a courier mission in your logs.

The easiest way to run the missions circle is using T1 Exploration frigate fitted for Level 1 distribution missions. Note that you don't need Cargohold Expander due to low cargo space requirements, so feel free to use your low slots for Inertial Stabilizers.

Amarr Empire

Each agent refers you to the next agent on the list. The last agent refers you back to the starting agent.

Note: The maximum cargo space required is 70 m3.


  1. Agent: Ain Ikani
    • Corporation: Imperial Navy
    • Location: Youl VII Moon 10 - Amarr Navy Logistic Support
    • Mission: To the Front Lines

  2. Agent: Ilia Abazen
  3. (Medium Faction standings after completing The Carthum Executive)
    • Corporation: Carthum Conglomerate
    • Location: Myyhera V Moon 1 - Carthum Conglomerate Factory
    • Missions: Robotics For Sarum Family, The Carthum Executive
    • Note that this agent can offer 2 missions, 'The Carthum Executive' gives the faction standing boost. If offered 'Robotics For Sarum Family' you can decline then Start Conversation again (beware of 4 hour cooldown between Agent declines). If offered 'Robotics For Sarum Family' again you can complete the mission but then, instead of continuing the circle, return to Ain Ikani in Youl to restart the circle as a quicker way to retry for 'The Carthum Executive' from Ilia Abazen.
