==What:== | |||
The target of this mini-guide is to provide info how to reach 5.0 standings with all four empire factions. | |||
==Why:== | |||
Having 5.0 standings with empires is beneficial to pilots interested in running missions: | |||
- Access to all Level 4 and below missions from all corporations in these empires<br> | |||
- Access to all 4 Epic Arcs from empires, and additionally 2 pirate Epic arcs<br> | |||
- No need to run Storyline missions<br> | |||
- Potential to re-roll missions from agents with hit to standings to get favorite mission<br> | |||
==How:== | |||
===Early game strategy=== | |||
There are few recommendations to follow since start of the game - without them, the process of getting 5.0 will be much longer:<br> | |||
- Avoid missions against factions. This is by far the biggest threat to lowering standings with factions during mission running<br> | |||
- Complete Career agent missions. Each faction has 3 sets of missions - finishing them grants good standings increase to factions<br> | |||
- Choose faction pair that you will focus on - either Caldari-Gallente or Amarr-Minmatar. These faction pairs have biggest derived standings penalties, and working on such pair allows you to avoid big decrease [wording]<br> | |||
- Try to run missions for chosen factions, but limit yourself to 1-2 corporations from each faction - you will reach the point where your faction standings are still low, but you'll be able to run L3/L4 missions - to be able to do that, you need corporation standings above 3.0/5.0 respectively<br> | |||
===Skills needed=== | |||
Most important skill is Connections. Raised to IV improves standings by 16% - this means that in order to have effective 5.0 standing, you only need 4.1 unmodified standing for each faction, which is much more easily obtainable. | |||
Second skill worth training is Social - it improves standings gain from each mission. Training to IV is recommended to shorten the time needed to achieve 5.0 with all empires | |||
===Improving standings=== | |||
You can think of getting all 4 factions to 5.0 as getting total of 20.0 in faction standings gain - that's the target to achieve. How to approach it:<br> | |||
- Connections IV - it gives you free 3.6 in total standings gains (you need 4.1 for each faction, total of 16.4) | |||
- Storylines are your bread and butter for faction standings gains - each L4 storyline gives about 0.2 net gain of standings | |||
- Circle agents are not worth your time - it's not necessary to do them<br> | |||
===Finishing touches=== | |||
I'm not at this level yet, so I'll write as I go. | |||
