Amarr COSMOS: Difference between revisions

Line 5:

This page is intended to serve as a walkthrough for the Amarr COSMOS missions in Araz. 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. 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.

Note that many agents mix courier missions with battling NPCs from different factions. Thus a fast omni-tanked ship (T2 or T3 cruiser) is the best option if your skills are good.

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 (data center) and even a few in Minmatar space.
