what's your question? be descriptive.

By: [ Editor ] Asked from South Africa

Does effective quality of an agent still exist? Can one determine one's effective quality?

Since Incarna all agents have had +20 quality and -20 accessibility (I think, although some have suggested that it is all now 0, 0. Can anyone confirm?) To what degree does standings and system security still take a role? Does effective quality of an agent still exists post-incarna? Can one determine one’s effective quality with an agent?

Basically, Effective quality no longer exists, the Database now will treat all agents as EQ -20 for Standings access and +20 for Payouts.

System Security however remains as part of the Calculation, so running lvl 4’s for the same NPC corp in a 0.8 system will be easier and give less rewards then running the same mission for the same corp in a 0.5 system.

Reading the page it is clear that agent quality can be affected by system status. This is despite it saying that effective quality no longer exists. It does not say anything about being affected by agent standings. Along with Psyrelle I get the feeling that it still exists but I can’t prove it. No other links?

effective quality still exist.

there is no way of seeing it but i know that if i do missions in motsu for caldari navy which i have a 9.58 standing towards i get 5600 lp for doing worlds collide lvl 4. If i go to mani and do missions for amarr navy which i have a 5.92 standing towards i get 4200-4500 lp for doing world collide lvl 4

I could be wrong, but I believe the reason for this is the system security and your standing to towards the individual corps in question rather then Agents EQ.

standing increases the effective quality thus increasing your payout.

thats how it got calculated back then.
