Raising your Caldari Standings

If you have a Jita Alt, you might have already gone through this mess to raise that jita alt's faction standings to get the tax rate cuts (link to my tip of the day on the savings). These can be rolled into a Caldari locator, but it is FAR FAR worse than the minmatar one mentioned in this thread. However, it has one advantage, you can get access to a Level 5 locator agent, which has a 2 minute scan time. This agent is the only one in it's station and you have to travel a full another system to get access to another 2. It also requires a lot of extra steps.

Note, you can PAY someone to raise your caldari standings, but this can be very expensive. https://forums.eveonline.com/t/we-raise-npc-standings-lower-broker-relist-fees-access-epic-arcs-mission-r-d-agents-and-more/21688 

Again, The Minmatar agent chain is WAY better.

• To get this level 5 locator with the 2 minute scan time:

• Train Social 5 and connections 4 (or 5), very important to do this first. If you don't do this first, go to the 'crappy part' below.

• Do career agents.  You can do the 15 career agents for every school that is associated with your faction.  Each one you finish the last mission, you get 0.188.  I did a set of the caldari ones, I went from 5.91 caldari faction to a 6.21 faction standing, took around 2 hours.   Thanks to JamesFace for this knowledge from a very old wiki from the Faction Standing Repair Plan   If you are confused, do all the career agents for your faction you want standing with, along with the other helpful alliance  Caldari/Amarr or Gallente/Minmatar.

• Can do the circle agents https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Circle_Missions to move 70m^3 between a bunch of people.

• Buy all tags based on https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Data_centers for both Caldari and Amarr, skip ones that are too rich for you.

• Fly to Ferira in amarr space and warp to the agent hub there, turn in 3 sansha copper tags.

• Do as many of the graduation missions and turn in tags for amarr as much as you can.

• Drop off the rest of your Sansha tags as you need to come back here.

• Fly to jita space of Komokor and turn in the 3 guristas copper tags by warping to the agent hub.

• Do as many of the graduation missions and turn in caldari tags.

• Drop off tags and head back towards amarr space, pick up your tags again there.

• Do the rest of the missions, turn back around.

• Back and forth until the bleed through faction.

• This should get you to faction 5 with Caldari State as a whole. This allows you to level 4 agents for Caldari with a 4 minute timer. Caldari agents are extremely spread out and 'not great'.

• Then the crappy part, you to get to standings 7 with caldari Navy specifically or standings 7 with Caldari faction.

  • Caldari Navy faction takes awhile to grind, but is necessary to get the tax rate cuts so might consider doing both as both help your tax rates.

  • Caldari State Faction might take even more time though.

  • Can run missions for caldari navy. Level 2's don't take a lot of skill or can do level 4 combats, though this can severely wreck your standing with other groups.

  • 'security' agents give kill missions that boost it far more than most others. These give you standing with the corporation only.

  • After 15 missions, you get a faction missions. These sometimes are 'kill gallante', which can wreck your standings with them. MUST do these to boost your faction standings.

  • Blood stained stars is a good arc and fun and requires a decent destroyer or cruiser skills to run. It minorly boosts all your faction standings.

  • Join Caldari militia and run missions till your factions get to 7 with Caldari State.

• It's important to keep your other factions above -5.0 so you don't get shot by their police if you need to go in their space.

  • You can use the blood stains stars arc and others to improve those faction settings.

• Finally, fly to Hallanen and use the 'agent' finder to see all the other systems near by that have level 4 agents. The first one is the 2 minute one, then there are 2 4 minute ones next door (not in the same station), and then you have to go two jumps. I advise putting in a couple shuttles ahead of time to speed you up.

• Can also do the amarr career agent ones for derived standings:

If you already have major faction with caldari, you can do this to help you out. If you have like level 3 faction with caldari already, the tag turn ins should be enough honestly. It cost me 30 mil isk to get it to faction 7 with caldari faction because i had already done a bunch of missions.

I updated the main wiki page with some statistics I did as well.

Ratting for Security Status

CCP added Tags for sec.  If you go full blown pirate, you can pay to have your security status 'fixed'.  This is part of a program at any Concord station.  These are rats you kill in low sec to collect one of 4 tags: Trainer, Recruiter, Transporter, and Negotiator.   Each has a value and number you need to get to the next 'level' of security status, -8, -5, -2, and 0 respectively.

The math associated is embeded in the eve uni wiki, but it's easier than that, honestly.  https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Repairing_security_status (Note, this used to be able to be cheesed by switching systems, but that no longer works)

Let someone else do this math for you, really.  This chart below says how long it takes to get to the next 'level' of sec status.

For instance, if you are -10, and killing at 650k rat every 20 minutes in null sec:

• Takes 63 hours to get to -4.5, meaning you can enter a 0.5 without being suspect.

• Takes 100 hours to get to a -1.99 meaning you can enter a 1.0 system without being suspect.

• Takes 136 hours to get to 'positive' sec status, meaning your no longer yellow flagged.

• Takes 272 hours to get to max 5.0 sec status, which I don't wish on anyone.

I have a spreadsheet that works out the rest, just let me know the average security increase you're getting when you kill a rat, and I can give you a round number of hours to get from one to another.   For instance, same example above, if you can kill a 19% rat, these drop to: 57 h, 90 h, 122 h, 243 h.   And if you only can kill a 9% rat, these rise to: 119 h, 190 h, 257 h, 513 h. 

Assuming you kill a 650k rat every 20 minutes, which gives you around 17% each time you kill them, you can figure out how many hours it will take you to rat up your sec status to a certain level.  So you can buy your tags for sec from -10.0 to -5.0 first (currently 57 mil) and then rat the remaining 57 hours to get to -1.99 sec status instead of ratting for the full 100 hours, and save yourself the 431 mil.
