Thread: FP selling for your own advantage??

How is this possible? I read the guide on how to sell FP, but say I wanted to get to the rank of colonel easily (through buying of course) and I'm the only Master Smuggler around...


The only thing I can think of is to sell to buy and delegate to an alt, then have them delegate back to me...but if they aren't a colonel it doesn't seem worth the effort.

Am I missing something, or is there some other way to use FP buying to boost my own rank in my faction?


Thanks!

There is no way to buy your way up the ranks without assistance...

make a friend then have them do it. If it is a good friend, they will do it at a discount.

Yeah...friends are nice to have...


I bought my Colonel rank from another Smuggler (Signosis) who was good enough to do it "at cost."


Then, lost all my rank due a lag in my macro before they fixed the resignation process, and bought all of my ranks from him again..."at cost"...


Not only that, he and Caylin also used me to free up their time by sending clients my way so they could go do other things...which I had absolutely no problem with...

I grinded out every single FP except the up to 500 you can buy each time, ive changed combat profs so often that i jsut leveled them all on faction missions. Even after colonel i keep doing faction missions since it increases my profit
