This page is intended to serve as a walkthrough for Amarr COSMOS missions. While several COSMOS guides exist on the internet, most do not give indications for what order the missions should be attempted in. This can be troublesome since many missions require good Amarr faction standing, or items from prerequisite missions. This guide will order missions by the highest standings required for the mission or its prerequisites, so players should be able to start at the beginning and work through. Most guides recommend starting around faction standing 4.0, since early missions may not give enough standings for later mission requirements. Due to the recent removal of agent quality, however, agents are now much easier to access. Standings can also be increased by performing normal [[Storyline_Mission#Storyline_Mission|storyline missions]], handing in tags to [[Gaining_faction_standings_fast#Data_Centers|data centers]], or doing Caldari COSMOS missions and datacenters.

Almost all of these missions can only be done once per character, so it's worth training some Social skills to make sure you get the best standings out of them. Social 4 and Connections 4 are recommended. Good ships to bring would be a well-tanked battlecruiser or T2 Heavy Assault Cruiser for combat behind restricted gates and a T1 Exploration Frigate for courier missions and scanning. With Expanded Cargohold IIs, any T1 Exploration Frigate can haul over 600m^3, which is the most you'll be asked to carry. The most difficult combat sites will be easier in a well-tanked battleship or T3 cruiser or in a group. A combat frigate for ratting the belts may also be useful.

The Amarr COSMOS missions are centered around the Araz constellation in the Kador region. There are however also some Amarr agents in lowsec, Anmatar/Khanid (datacenter) and even a few in Minmatar space.

If your plan is to run most or all COSMOS missions, it is advisable to check the [[Amarr COSMOS#Shopping List|shopping list]] and first farm the various [[Amarr COSMOS#Complexes and Sites|complexes, sites and belts]] listed below for items various agents will ask you for later anyway.

Most missions that give BPC rewards seem to give out randomized BPCs, thus the rewards listed here are intended only as examples.

Datacenters: Graduation Certificate (Courier) / 3xCopper tags / 20xBronze tags<br>
* For each of the [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Career_Agents career agents], the last mission for each agent will give a significant faction standings jump. They can be run in each of the starter systems of each faction.
Graduation Certificates are a set of 1-jump courier missions, one per datacenter, that will give a small boost in faction standings. The certificates lead to a normal L1Q0 agent in Lossa who can be ignored.
* Completing [[The Blood-Stained Stars]], the Sisters of Eve epic arc and choosing to assist the Amarr commander will give a big (8.4% with Social IV) faction standing increase.
* [[Gaining faction standings fast]] has details about exchanging tags for standings via data center agents.


Some COSMOS agents will talk to you at this point, but require items from later missions. Be careful!

====Career Agents====
For each of the [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Career_Agents career agents], the last mission for each agent will give a significant faction standings jump. They can be run in each of the starter systems of each faction.
====Datacenter Agents====
These agents give standing rewards when you bring them certain tags, e.g. Sansha Copper, Brass, Silver, etc tags.
Some give small item rewards as well.
Some require a small courier mission (minimal cargo volume) to be performed.
Khanid and Ammatar agents will need at least positive standing to their specific sub-faction.
It is recommended to run these only for gaining standings via tags, as they otherwise have no interesting rewards or story elements.

===Ship Fitting===
This Drake was used for the L3 combat missions, and didn't have any trouble. If you don't have the skills to use it, then downgrading modules to T1 and/or swapping shield extenders for rechargers (for easier fitting) should definitely be viable.

This Magnate was used for hauling, as well as the scanning and initial archaeology missions. For the rest of the archaology missions, though, there will be plenty of enemies attacking, so use the Drake (or other battlecruiser) and swap the target painter for an analyzer. The Magnate isn't really necessary, but it makes the hauling a bit faster than using the Drake or an industrial.
