Next, you will need to be in the right sort of ship. If you are interested in perfect refining, it is likely that you are already a miner! Once you can fly a [[Mining Barge]] decently, you are ready to begin your quest. A [[Retriever]] will serve you very well on your quest, as it is the barge most suited to solo-mining. While increasing your mining yield is always a good thing, it is important to note that some mining missions involve some combat. It is recommended to fit a [[Damage Control Unit]] in one of your low slots, as this will greatly increase your survivability against these NPCs. No matter how you tank your barge, you may have to warp in and out of the mission sites from time to time. Minimizing this is key to earning your standings efficiently. Therefore, it is recommended that you eventually train [[Skills:Armor#Hull_Upgrades|Hull Upgrades]] to '''level IV''' to be able to fit a tier 2 DCU and [[Skills:Rigging#Shield_Rigging|Shield Rigging]] to '''level I''' so you can fit some shield tanking rigs to boost your survivability. | Next, you will need to be in the right sort of ship.

The later sections of this guide will mention some additional skills you will like to train when they become relevant - so it is recommended to read this whole guide before you begin. | |||

Libold may be best known in the University as the home of the [[Frig_FFA|Frigate Free-For-All]], but it is also where your standings journey will begin! This system contains many level 1 and 2 agents of the MMC for you to work for! If you've followed the recommendations laid out above, completing a single level 1 mission for any agent of the MMC should activate your Connections bonus and grant you access to level 2 agents. This mission should be very easy and won't even be covered by this guide. | Libold may be best known in the University as the home of the [[Frig_FFA|Frigate Free-For-All]], but it is also where your standings journey will begin!

Once you've gained access to level 2 missions, the first leg of your quest can begin! There are two level 2 agents in Libold, one found at Libold VII Moon 5, and another at Libold IX Moon 20. You can and likely should request missions from both of these agents in order to see your possible options. It is possible to deny a mission from an agent once every four hours. You do not want to deny a specific agent more frequently than that, however, or you will lose the very standings we are trying to earn! Once you accept a mission, you will have a certain amount of time specific to each mission to complete the task given to you by your agents. The standings boost is not affected | Once you've gained access to level 2 missions, the first leg of your quest can begin!

Once you accept a mission, you will have a certain amount of time specific to each mission to complete the task given to you by your agents. The standings boost is not affected by whether or not you reach this goal, but usually it isn't much of a challenge and you will earn significantly more ISK if you do. Since the standings quest isn't the most lucrative no matter what you do, not accepting missions until you are ready to complete them is a good way to maximize the income you do recieve. | ||

== Moving up in the World: Level 3 == | |||
Once you reach a standings level of 3.0 with the MMC, you will have access to level 3 agents! At this point, you should really try to have [[Skills:Resource_Processing#Mining|Mining]] at '''level V''' so that you can begin to use [https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Modulated_Strip_Miner_II Modulated Strip Miner II]. These modules will greatly increase your mining yeild, which will improve the number of missions you can complete in a given amount of time. These lasers are only worth using if | |||
