Early in your capsuleer adventures:
 
* Avoid accepting Missions against an Empire; the Gallente will want you to fight the Caldari: decline it
 
* Complete the Career Agent Missions no more then once as you'll need the other two sets later
 
* Pick your favorite Empire and increase their Standing first
 
* Run Missions for as few Corporations in each Empire as possible
 
 
 
Tips for getting the sum of 20.0 Empire Standing:
 
* Do Level 4 Security Missions; blitz them with other pilots to speed up their completion
 
* Every 16th completed Mission you will be sent a Storyline Mission
 
* Sisters of EVE Epic Arc The Blood Stained Stars increases your Standing by 7% towards an Empire of your choice

The Ploy is a guide for simultaneously increasing Amarr Empire, Caldari State, Gallente Federation and Minmatar Republic Faction Standing to 5.0 as quickly as possible.

Advanteges Drawbacks
Access to all seven Epic Arcs Hard to achieve 7.0 Faction Standing with any Empire
Access to all Empire Level 4 Mission Agents Derived Standing from Storyline Missions may drop you below 5.0
Reduced Broker Fee in all major Trade Hubs

Requirements

Skills:

Missions:

  • You can complete at least two out of ten 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 have the ships, fits and skills to complete all four Empire Epic Arcs.

Choose a Path

The Path dictates the order in which you have to increase your Empire Faction Standings. You can only choose a Path if you have enough required Unmodified Faction Standings:

Required

Gallente Path Caldari Path Minmatar Path Amarr Path
Gallente 3.74 1.28 3.75 0.08
Caldari 1.55 3.92 0.35 3.92
Minmatar 3.60 0.15 3.60 1.35
Amarr 1.09 4.10 2.21 4.11

Gallente 3.17 0.65 3.17 -0.62
Caldari 0.93 3.36 -0.32 3.35
Minmatar 3.03 -0.55 3.03 0.72
Amarr 0.46 3.57 1.63 3.58

EVE Online displays only Effective Faction Standings. To help you calculate the Unmodified Faction Standings use Chris Halsky's 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 increase you Faction Standings first.
