* {{sk|Connections|IV|icon=yes|mult=yes}} to decrease the amount of [[NPC standings#Skills|Unmodified Standing]] you need to achieve 5.0 [[NPC standings#Skills|Effective Standing]] with each Empire.
* {{sk|Connections|IV|icon=yes|mult=yes}} or {{sk|Connections|V|icon=yes|mult=yes}} to have greater [[NPC standings#Skills|Effective Standing]] with the same [[NPC standings#Skills|Unmodified Standing]].


Missions:
Missions:
* You can complete at least two out of ten [[Career Agents|Career Agent]] Mission chains for each Empire. If you have already completed all Career Agent Missions you can still complete The Ploy albeit with difficulty.
* You can complete at least ten out of fifteen [[Career Agents|Career Agent]] Mission chains for each Empire. If you have already completed all Career Agent Missions you can still complete The Ploy, but you will need to invest more time.

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.

If you do not have high enough Faction Standings to choose any Path you will have to [[Gaining faction standings fast|increase you Faction Standings]] first.
