This guide explains how to quickly gain Faction Standings with the four major empires without (or at least lessen) the need for endless mission grinding. This guide will be particularly useful for pilots wishing to join Factional Warfare, which requires +0.0 base faction standing (before skills).

Sister of EVE Epic Arc (Repeatable)

Main article: The Blood-Stained Stars

One of the best ways to gain Faction Standings is to run the Sisters of EVE Epic Arc - Blood Stained Stars. This arc of 51 missions provides you with an impressive +0.7 (+0.875 with Social V) to the empire faction of your choice with no derived standing changes. You can repeat the SoE Arc every 90 days.

Career Agents

Main article: Career Agents

Career Agents Missions are comprised of five agents that provide you a set of beginner missions, linked to the five careers - Exploration, Enforcer, Soldier of Fortune, Industrial Entrepreneur and Industrial Producer. While the Career Agents are unrepeatable, each empire faction has three sets of five agents and can thus be used to quickly raise your Faction Standings with your desired faction.

Data centers

Main article: Data centers

Data center missions involve you giving the agent a set of pirate tags. This allows you to effectively exchange ISK for standing. The data center missions can be completed only once. See the main article for more details.

COSMOS

Main article: COSMOS

COSMOS missions 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 acquired beforehand.

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

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

"Circle" Missions

Main article: Circle Missions

Circle missions offer the player small cargo courier missions and when completed, a referral to another Agent in the group. That Agent then refers the player to another Agent who also refers the player to another Agent, etc. Eventually, the player will end up back with the original starting Agent. The 4 major Factions (Amarr Empire, Caldari State, Gallente Federation, Minmatar Republic) each have their own group of 5 to 8 Circle Agents located in high security systems. One to two Agents in the group will give a once-per-character Faction Standing increase.

Faction Warfare

Main article: Faction warfare standings

Being promoted in faction warfare grants a solid amount of Empire Faction Standings. Promotions are linked to your standing with the NPC Militia corporation (for example "State Protectorate" for Caldari) and can be increased by completing agent missions for the corp, and for capturing complexes. See the main article on Faction Warfare standings to get an understanding on how participation will impact your standings.

Regular Mission Running

Main article: storyline mission

Every sixteenth completed Mission of the same level for the same faction will generate a storyline mission of the same Level. Blitzing Level 4 Security Missions will help you speed up their completion and gain you more storyline missions.

Tips and tricks

  • Avoid accepting Missions against another Empire Faction. Example: The Gallente Federation wants you to fight the Caldari State? Simply decline these type of missions.
  • There are several service providers around New Eden that offer to improve Faction Standings for you by e.g. running missions or Epic arcs for you in exchange for ISK. All you need to do is fleet up with another pilot and they will share standings with you.
