The Ploy is a guide for simultaneously increasing Amarr Empire, Caldari State, Gallente Federation and Minmatar Republic Faction Standing to 5.0 as quickly as possible.

Advanteges Drawbacks
Access to all seven Epic Arcs Hard to achieve 7.0 Faction Standing with any Empire
Access to all Empire Level 4 Mission Agents Derived Standing from Storyline Missions may drop you below 5.0
Reduced Broker Fee in all major Trade Hubs

Requirements

Skills:

Missions:

  • You can complete at least two out of ten Career Agent Mission chains for each Empire. If you have already completed all Career Agent Missions you can still complete The Ploy albeit with difficulty.
  • You have the ships, fits and skills to complete all four Empire Epic Arcs.

Choose a Path

The Path dictates the order in which you have to increase your Empire Faction Standings. You can only choose a Path if you have enough required Unmodified Faction Standings:

Gallente 3.74 1.28 3.75 0.08
Caldari 1.55 3.92 0.35 3.92
Minmatar 3.60 0.15 3.60 1.35
Amarr 1.09 4.10 2.21 4.11

Gallente Path Caldari Path Minmatar Path Amarr Path
Gallente 3.17 0.65 3.17 -0.62
Caldari 0.93 3.36 -0.32 3.35
Minmatar 3.03 -0.55 3.03 0.72
Amarr 0.46 3.57 1.63 3.58

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.

If you do not have high enough Faction Standings to choose any Path you will have to increase you Faction Standings first.
