Using tags to grind faction standings

This is an angle I hadn’t really thought of before – using pirate tags as currency to grind up faction standings in a hurry:

This guide was written to give a simple explanation to how you can grind up a fresh character to be able to use 5 lvl4 Mechanical Engineering agents. This guide will focus on Minmatar/Gallente agents from three corps: DuVolle Laboratories, Core Complexion and Boundless Creation.

It looks like it may work. I still need to get Daniella up a bit more with Carthum in order to accces the last level 4 R&D agent, so maybe I’ll go out and try some pirate tags just to see what comes of it.

R&D Update – They Sold!

Well, it turns out there is a nice little market for datacores of various flavors in the Amarr region. Earlier Daniella kicked off her experiment of using level 4 R&D agents as passive income generators, and hoped to net 30M+ ISK for a few weeks run time. Just checked her sell orders tonight after a few days away from the market to discover an oh-so-nice 33.6M ISK series of sold datacore orders. A bit of ISK to fatten her wallet, never a bad thing, and a nice payoff after weeks of running mind-numbing courier missions for the ungrateful Carthum booking agents. Now it’s just a matter of running a 30 jump round trip every few weeks in Yellow Fever, her fast Crane transport to collect cores from the various agents.

Perhaps she’ll celebrate with a romp out to kill some Sansha’s in the Oh Billy (battle-scared standard issue Raven)!

The timing couldn’t have been more perfect, as rumor has it Furious took a beating tonight on the front lines of the Amarr – Minmatar lowsec capsuleer war. Looks like Daniella better step up the revenue generating activities just a bit more…
