LN Guard Rep

[Derkylos]

To easily get full guard rep from starting repsheet, do the following:

Take a bribe (optional) NB: even if a double bribe is offered, a single will be better, if it is guard you aim for.

Take missions for the faction, and only for the faction. But do not do them. Get someone else in the faction to group with you and complete the missions. This way, the only reps going up will be the faction rep, and it's respective guard.

Once guard rep hits max, check your rep sheet for other full green factions (you may need to do a once-round of sirius at this stage to get all the factions on your sheet). NB: guards (except the intended one) do not matter at this point, as they are unaffected by allied missions.

Now, drop all reps save the guard rep you want and it's respective faction rep to just below top. This will result in you faction sheet looking such (read upside down):

Faction
Guard (intended tag)
everything else

Now, all that remains is to drop the faction rep by failing missions for it (take mission, f6, abort, repeat).

If your rep sheet is messed up before you decide to try for guard tag, you will have to drop missions for other factions in order to get the end of the sheet to look as above.

If you're worried about being OORP while tagfixing, do it when there are not many people online so as to minimize your chances of having to explain.

I managed to take a character from Gaian tag to Unioner tag, to tagless, and finally to Order guard by this method.

One final thing...are you sure you need to get guard tagged? Maxing guard rep is easy (mission grind), and there is no visual difference between guard/normal, save that most people will see guard as hostile, and, as such, will be more cautious towards you.
