K Minor,
Thanks. The best way to check is to bring up the agent info box while in game. I already had access to all of the lv 4 epic arc starting agents before the agent expansion patch was done so it doesn't list the required standings for me.
However, I had someone else in game check the level 4 epic arc starting agent standing requirement and it states:
> Your personal standings must be +5.0 or higher towards this agent, it's faction, or it's corporation in order to use this this agent's services. <
I also had that player check the level 3 Empire Faction starting agent for the Pirate epic arc which stated players need +3.0 or higher standing needed.
I then checked the Pirate Faction starting agent info box which stated above -2.0 standing is needed.
I'm not sure why the lv 3 Empire agent and the lv 3 Pirate agent show different standing requirements. Maybe it's due to my having -6.0 modified standings towards the Pirate Factions since Faction standing needs to be above -2.0 to access higher level agents. Or maybe CCP has made the Pirates easier to access.
I do know that logging out and then logging back into the game is usually required after gaining the required amount of standing. That allows the server to update the characters current standings and gives the character access to the agent.
Anyway, please post an update on the standing requirement for the new level 4 epic arc agent.

Right now my advice is complete the Level 1 SoE arc for Gallente. It will give you +8.75% Faction standing increase with no derived standings incurred and can be completed every 3 months.
I'm sorry for bringing this thread back but I'm kind of lost, how do you go about doing the SoE arc for Gallente and can it only be done for Gallente or can I do it for Minmatar also?
P.S. I'm sorry if I am making you repeat something if it previously already been answered...

Thanks for the quick reply. Looks like you're correct. I have standings of 5.6 or so with Impetus and just began the Gallente Epic Arc. I must've tried accessing the Amarr Epic Arc without first logging off and on last time. Thanks for the help and thanks for the guide.
Again, excellent work on this...I wish all guides were this thorough.

Also I seem to be researching it up a bit but I can't seem to find out an answer... Does it give faction standing or is it just something you can do for fun and other rewards?
P.S. I'm sorry if I am making you repeat something if it previously already been answered...
XDarkzz,
No need to be sorry.
The SoE level 1 Epic Arc has an option towards the end of it for players to choose 1 of the 4 major Empire Factions (Amarr, Caldari, Gallente, Minmatar) for Faction standing increase. The arc can be repeated every 3 months and players can choose a different Faction each time or go with the same Faction as before.
The SoE level 1 Epic Arc has players travel throughout all Factions high security systems so to complete it safely without being attacked by Navy NPC's, all Empire Faction standings should be above -5.00 standing and the players personal security status should be above -2.00 standing.
I hope this has helped clear things up for you.
------------
K Minor,
Thanks for the update. If there's any doubts about the info listed in this 'Plan', please feel free to post it. I'll be sure to research it asap.
I hope you have good luck doing the Epic Arcs.

Edited by: Octarius Eskravu on 02/08/2011 21:15:08 Hi DMC...what about pirate factions? what can be done to raise that? there are no COSMOS, data centers, etc ( i think ) ... so it all comes to grind L1s to get storylines until your faction gets positive? or is it other strategies?
PS- the pirates im seeking standings are the Serpentis FYI

I asked this the bit earlier but the answer was "epic arcs" since they can boost pirate faction without dropping empire much. And yeah, grind pirate faction missions, but be warned that'll absolutely bomb your empire faction.

Octarius Eskravu, that's a very good question.
According to this, Serpentis have a +8.00 standing with Angel Cartel.
To get positive standings with Serpentis without a lot of grinding, first stop killing Serpentis. Having Diplomacy, Criminal Connections, Social and Negotiation skills trained up will help a lot.
Since Angel and Serpentis like each other, complete the Angel Cartel level 3 Pirate Epic Arc for +30% (base) Faction standing increase. That should unlock the higher Angel Cartel agents.
Angel Cartel has 5 different Cosmos agents, completing those missions will give positive derived standings to Serpentis. Pirate Cosmos Agents
After completing those missions, it shouldn't take very long to gain access to high level Serpentis agents.
Hope this info helps and good luck to you.

Thanks very much. 'The Plan' made a huge difference to my amarr rehabilitation program.
I started out not-as-badly-as-many with a mere -3.9 amarr faction standing. Not having yet found **the plan** I setup a base and started grinding away at lvl1 missions. Many, many, many missions later I was heartily sick of it and had only rehabilitated myself to -2.8!!
Then I found the plan. In one evening session I had run four of the five career agents in one nearby amarr station and my faction standings was at -1.6. Four of the five career agents gave me +1.8% faction standings and the later fifth (exploration) gave me half of that .... around +10% for a few hours effort! I also learned a bit about using lasers on the way :-)
I'm off to do the same with another group of career agents and should soon be in the amarr good-books with a standing >0.0.
Thanks DMC, very muchy appreciated ... and wish I'd found it earlier.

You're very welcome.
That's excellent info to hear. I'm glad the 'Plan' is working for you and I wish you much success working it in the future.
Sorry you didn't know about the 'Plan' before you started working on your rehabilitation.

Caren Patriach, good questions.
1. Yes, Epic Arcs can be repeated every 3 months for Faction standing increase with little to no derived standings towards the other Factions.
2. The Data Center 'Cert' and 'Tag' missions are the fastest way to gain Faction standing if you have plenty of ISK available.
3. No, only the Epic Arcs can be repeated. All of the other Event Agents listed in the 'Plan' can only be completed once during the characters lifetime.
The 'Plan' is basically already set up to follow with a few different options available depending on how you want to proceed. If you have a surplus of a specific Pirate Tag, sell the extra to help pay for other Tags.
I hope this info helps and I wish you much success.

vandyne, thanks for posting.
Faction standing increase is not shared between Fleet members. Only the character who accepted the Agent mission will get the Faction standing increase.
All Fleet members will get Corporation and Agent standing increase along with a share of the rewards.
Hope this info helps.
