Loyalty points are part of the rewards for [[Missions]] (for the corporation your agent belongs to) and [[Incursions]] (in the case of [[CONCORD]]). You can also earn loyalty points for each of the four factions doing [[Factional Warfare]]. Loyalty points are gained for a specific corporation and will only be useful in stations owned by that particular corporation.

To see how many loyalty points you have, go to the '''Journal''' (either from your shortcut or the [[NeoCom|Neocom]]) then go to the '''Agents''' and '''Loyalty Points''' tab to see how many loyalty points you have. The information is presented per corporation and can be sorted by name or amount.

== Improving loyalty point gains ==

There are skills that increases the loyalty point gain from [[missions]], such as {{sk|Distribution Connections}} (distribution missions), {{sk|Mining Connections}} (mining missions) and {{sk|Security Connections}} (security missions). Each level of the skill gives a +10% increase in loyalty point gained per mission, up to a total of +50% at skill level V. While there are no skill to improve the loyalty point gains from [[Incursions]] and [[Factional Warfare|factional warfare]], you gain a considerably larger portion of LP/hour doing the larger [[Incursion sites#Headquarter sites|headquarter sites]] and the faction tier heavily influences the [[Factional_Warfare#Rewards|reward]] for factional warfare activities.

==~~Background On Loyalty Points~~==

When running missions from an NPC corporation, the rewards typically consist of ISK and Loyalty Points. Loyalty Points are a specialized non-transferable currency that can only be spent at the Loyalty Point stores of the same NPC corporation that gave you Loyalty Points. Loyalty Point stores can sell items that are not otherwise first-hand obtainable by any other means, though some mission runners turn a profit by buying items from Loyalty Point stores and then reselling the same items on the open Market for a large quantity of ISK (thus effectively converting Loyalty Points into ISK).

To view what NPC corporations you have Loyalty Points with in-game, go to your [[NeoCom|NeoCom]], click "Journal", click the "AGENTS" tab, and click the "LOYALTY POINTS" subtab. The list shown can be sorted alphabetically by corporation, or numerically by quantity of Loyalty Points.

To view what the Loyalty Point store of an NPC corporation has for sale, you must have at least one Loyalty Point with that corporation (meaning that you must have run a mission for them at some point in the past, else you will not be allowed to view what the Loyalty Point store has for sale). If this is true, then travel to a station owned by that NPC corporation, dock up, and click the Loyalty Point Store button in the Station Services window. The list of items you can see can be filtered, and by default only items that you can purchase right now are shown. However, you can change the view filter to show you everything available, regardless of whether or not you can afford it right now. All items require both ISK and Loyalty Points to purchase directly from the Loyalty Point store, and some items require additional items as part of the purchase. All items are required for the purchase, and lacking the necessary Loyalty Points, ISK, or items will prevent you from making the desired purchase. The selection of wares from all Loyalty Point stores of the same NPC corporation are uniform and constant; the selection only varies with the NPC corporation that owns that station, it does not vary with time or from station-to-station of the same corporation.

~~==Loyalty-Point-Increasing Skills~~==

In the Social category of skills are a set of skills that can increase the amount of Loyalty Points you gain when doing missions. For example, the in-game description of "Security Connections" reads "Understanding of military culture. Improves loyalty point gain by 10% per level when working for agents in the Security corporation division".

As of Incursion 1.5 there are only three agent divisions in the game (as opposed to 20 earlier) that offer missions to the player. For each division, there is one skill that affects all agents of the respective division, like in the following:

* Security Connections: affects Agents of the Security Division

* Distribution Connections: affects Agents of the Distribution Division

* Mining Connections: affects Agents of the Mining Division

~~Research and Development agents (who are related to Tech 2 production) are not affected by those skills.~~

The corporations that offer each of the LP-increasing skillbooks in their Loyalty Point stores are far too numerous to list here, and the reader is instead referred to [http://www.ellatha.com/eve/LP-Stores here] (may not be accurate anymore) for details.

==~~Weapon Specialization Skills~~==

In the Gunnery and Missile Operation categories are a set of skills with the word "Specialization" in them. These skills are prerequisites to mount Tech 2 modules of the type of weapon that they cover, and the skills increase the damage done by those modules. In the Drones category are also a set of skills with the word "Specialization" in them; these skills are needed to use Tech 2 drones of the given race. These skillbooks are first-hand obtainable from two general sources: NPCs on the open Market (for an ISK cost) and the Loyalty Point stores of particular corporations (for a Loyalty Point cost, but not ISK). Which corporations have which skillbooks on sale are listed below. It is worth noting that all of the corporations listed below also have the Military Connections and Political Connections skillbooks for sale (and therefore none of them have any of the other LP-increasing skillbooks for sale).

~~===Amarr Specializations===~~

The specialization skills in question are all the {{co|coral|Small}}, {{co|coral|Medium}} and {{co|coral|Large <racial turret> Specialization}} as well as the {{co|coral|<Type of missile> Specialization}} and {{co|coral|<racial> Drone Specialization}} skills.
