The Ploy: Gallente Path is a guide to completing The Ploy for those who have high Gallente Faction Standing.

You can follow the Gallente Path only if you have enough Unmodified Standing:

Required Standing	Connections IV	Connections V
Gallente	3.74	3.17
Caldari	1.55	0.93
Minmatar	3.60	3.03
Amarr	1.09	0.46

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.

Step 0: Deviating from the Path

You can skip Step 1: Career Agents and proceed to Step 2: First and second Epic Arc if you have the required Unmodified Standings:

Required Standing	Connections IV  Connections V
Gallente	4.33
Caldari	2.16
Minmatar	4.25
Amarr	1.65

You can skip Step 3: Re-balance Standings and proceed to Step 2: Third, forth and fifth Epic Arc if you have the required Unmodified Standings:

Required Standing	Connections IV  Connections V
Gallente	4.15
Caldari	3.25
Minmatar	4.08
Amarr	2.68

Step 1: Career Agents

Complete any two out of three Career Agent Mission chains for each Empire in the following order:

1. Caldari
2. Amarr
3. Caldari
4. Amarr
5. Gallente
6. Minmatar
7. Gallente
8. Minmatar

Do this to keep both Caldari and Amarr Faction Standing high while at the same time reaching 5.0 Faction Standing with both Gallente and Minmatar so you can start their Epic Arcs.

Step 2: First and second Epic Arc

Proceed if you have the required Unmodified Standings:

Required Standing	Connections IV  Connections V
Gallente	4.15
Caldari	3.25
Minmatar	4.08
Amarr	2.68

Complete the Epic Arcs in the following order:

1. Gallente
2. Minmatar

Step 3: Re-balance Standings

You need to achieve the following Unmodified Standings:

Required Standing	Connections IV  Connections V
Gallente	3.81
Caldari	3.81
Minmatar	3.00
Amarr	2.30

In addition, you will need 5.0 Effective Standing with:

• Gallente
• Minmatar
• Expert Distribution
• Ministry of Internal Order

To achieve the required Faction Standings you need to:

• complete seven Caldari Storyline Missions with +1% Faction Standing reward
• complete seven Amarr Storyline Missions with +1% Faction Standing reward

To generate the Storyline Missions, run Level 2 Distribution Missions for Caldari's Expert Distribution and Amarr's Ministry of Internal Order Corporations. This will simultaneously increase your Corporation Standing and allow you to start their Epic Arcs.

You can substitude completing Storyline Missions with:

• Career Agent Missions
• COSMOS Missions
• Datacenter Missions

Step 4: Third, forth and fifth Epic Arc

Complete the Epic Arcs in the following order:

1. Caldari
2. Amarr
3. Sister of EVE

Avoid destroying Gallente ships in the Caldari Epic Arc to reduce the amount of Gallente Faction Standing loss.
