Can storyline courier agents be any more annoying?

I’m trying to grind up Amarr faction standings to 6.8 so I can run the level 4 Amarr Epic Arc. I’ve heard that though the rewards are meagre, the plot and missions are a nice change of pace and add some depth to the overall EVE experience.

My main mission NPC corp is Amarr’s Ministry of War – the nice Level 4 Quality 20 kill mission agent in Taru is basically my best friend. So I’ve been grinding away with him, hoping for some helpful storyline missions that will bump my standing up just a few tenths of a point and get over that hump to 6.8. Grind grind grind, and finally a storyline mission from “my guy” with Tash-Murkon Family.

A courier mission. Which, yes, nets me a 27 million ISK implant, so that’s nice. But it boosts my faction standings all of 0.02. At that rate I’ll need another 9 storyline missions, and at, what 15 regular missions in between each, I’ll be grinding for YEARS.

Can I please get a storyline kill mission? Or does anyone know of a MoW level 3 or 4 agent has a better associated storyline agent?

I think its random as ive once had two 10 part storyline missions in a row, they gave 5% each which was nice, so i dont think you can change agents to get better storyline missions.

Try going to a datacentre and turning in some pirate tags? That gives a good boost. Alternatively, join faction warfare for a bit and grind out small complexes in backwater minnie systems with a cheap destroyer or frig.

@ Kirith – I forgot about pirate tags. I should have a metric ton load stuck in storage somewhere. thanks for the reminder!
