Sure to run only the desirable blitzable missions you need high standings, but many normal level 4s are very quick to run or have a blitz. Rank 10: +20.0% (when you reach a standing of 9.0 to the FW corp) Rank 9: +18.4198% (when you reach a standing of 8.0 to the FW corp)

EXALT MISSIONS LONG WAR PLUS
But the faction standing rewards are substantial I think you'll agree - I think you get about 10% corp boost per L4 FW assassination missions, and since you'll collect up to 15 missions before heading out to enemy low sec the promotions can come thick and fast, PLUS you don't need to worry about faction missions (FW missions dont give Faction missions, but the promotions do give Faction Standing increases). The promotion boosts are one time (ie they can't be redone every 3 months like the epic arcs). While they are tricky, there are guides out there and once you get used to them they'll be relatively easy. I would say the quickest way is to do L4 FW missions, as you'll get the equivalent standings boost from 0 to 8.0 IIRC as you increase your standing to the FW corp. Put into that perspective, epic arc standing rewards sound a lot more reasonable. Thanks, that's the kind of answer I was looking for. But in my experience, the security faction missions are very rare and cannot really be counted on being offered regularly unless you are doing 16-32+ missions a day (blitzing), you'll get far more of the other two types of faction mission. Looking at my logs, the respective faction boost for each type are ~1.5%, ~3%, and ~9.75% (I have social 5). From what I can tell there are three types, mining (the most prevalent), courier (more rare), and security (rarest). But I would definitely do them, they are nice break from the monotony of regular L4's and can be done relatively quickly if you have the right ship.Īnother key point is the amount of faction boost you get per faction mission. TL:DR it's your game, play it how you want. Plus the epic arc faction boosts don't have derived standings losses. So when looked at in this light, 60 missions for the guaranteed faction boost of 12.5% from SOE begins to look a lot more appetising I think. So in order to get an equivalent to the 12.5% from the SOE arc, you are going to be looking at needing 9+ Materials for War Preparation missions (9 x 16 = 144 L4 missions) or 4+ Faction courier missions (4 x 16 = 64 L4 missions), and these calculations ignore that you'll get progressively less increase in standing as your faction standing approaches +10. But in my experience, the security faction missions are very rare and cannot really be counted on being offered regularly unless you are getting multiple faction mission offers per day. I think it is worth remembering that to be truly blitzable the faction standings need to be up high in the first place so you can chain decline all the missions you don't want without losing access to the corp/agent.Īnother key point is the amount of faction boost you get per faction mission. Getting those social skills to 4 really does help a lot with the grind though. But yea, there are plenty of other ways to get the faction standing you need, I personally never felt the need to bother :) If you blitz the blitzable ones (even if you can't do most of the burner missions) you'd be surprised at how quickly you get through 16 missions. Are these worth the hassle of doing, if your main goal is increasing your faction standings, or am I just better off grinding L4s and getting a storyline every 16 missions? Was looking at the wiki for these, and SOE seems to be SIXTY missions long, and the Caldari one has you go through hoops and shooting Gallente navy ships (harder to get friends to come help you).
