This guide explains how to quickly gain Faction Standings without (or at least less) the need for endless mission grinding. While this guide uses Minmatar standings as an example, the method described here works for all factions. This guide will be particulary useful for pilots wishing to join Factional Warfare, which requires +0.0 faction standing.

COSMOS

Main article: COSMOS

COSMOS mission can be completed only once. Each agent will offer a short chain of missions where the last mission gives standing bonus similar to storyline missions. To speed up the process most of the items required for the missions can be aquired beforehand.

However COSMOS missions require you to have high enough standing (either corp or faction) to accept the missions so only few of them can be used for repairing below -2.00 faction standing.

• Amarr
  • High Security - Araz constellation (guide)
  • Low Security - Kenobanala System
• Caldari - Okkelen constellation (guide)
• Gallente - Algintal constellation (guide)
• Minmatar
  • High Security - Ani constellation (guide)
  • Low Security - Audesder System

Data Centers

The Data Center missions are mostly missions where you hand in pirate tags (you can loot these in missions and buy them on the market). Basically, it allows you to convert isk into standing. Remember, you can talk to each agent only once! The Data Centers can be found in:

• Amarr Empire and Ammatar Mandate
  • Polfaly
  • Kudi
  • Ferira
• Caldari State
  • Ahtulaima
  • Saikanen
  • Kamokor
• Gallente Federate
  • Abenync
  • Muer
  • Ekuenbiron
• Minmatar Republic
  • Emolgranlan
  • Arlulf
  • Engosi

The system with most agents is Emolgranlan, which is also closest to Nakugard. Once entered the system, warp to the Data Center beacon. Talk to agent Rilbedur Tjar, who is floating inside a small structure in space. He will offer you a courier mission which involves transporting a Minmatar Graduation Certificate to him. After completing it, you'll receive a 0.36% faction standings increase, and you will be referred to an agent named Pinala Adala in Eram IX - Moon 4 - Sebiestor tribe Bureau. After this agent, the only missions that remain are the Keeping Crime In Check mission where you turn in pirate tags (Angel Copper Tag for example) in return for standings.

The agent in Eram Pinala Adala, offers you the five part mission chain Shaman Secrets. These are three combat and two courier missions. I was able to do these in an underskilled Atron (Gallente Frigate). Note that for the fourth mission, you are not given an exact location to go to. Instead, you're supposed to decypher that it should be Eram IV - moon 2, based on hints given this mission and the previous one. You'll also need to shoot the neon sign to get the gate key, and you'll get a side mission which gives 0.1 points of faction standing! Read the Shaman Secrets guide (see below) for more details.

After going through all these steps (the Data Center missions excluded, but COSMOS and the certificate mission included) you should have gained around 0.17 faction standing. You can further increase this by the tag missions, regular missions, or factional warfare. When turning in tags - pay close attention to the price. For example, while copper tags (for the most easily accessible agent) cost 1.5mil each, the bronze tags (for the slightly higher quality agent) only cost around 50K. Selecting the right agent (this MAY take standings with that agent's corp) can save you a lot of ISK.
