A few questions...

[ohhmyylantaa]

I've just got a few general questions I hope some of you people can help me out with.

1. I recently discovered the back beach of Padres, got hex eater, and completed the grenade quest. (Yay!) Well, I've got my nades up to level 6 now. So I go and shoot the gypsies useless then throw nades at them. Level 6 nades, level 23 me, and a level 28 gypsy will only give me about 30-40 rep. I'm using only the basic grenade with two points in it. My question is: what the heck do I have to do to get some decent rep? I've tried stumps, using that handy ledge trick, and I get less than 50 damage on them with each grenade so it'd take about 2 hours to kill one, lol. Any better ideas?

2. Is it worth it to put anything in the "throw" skill of grenades?

3. I also have something I'm curious about. Suppose I'm attacking some enemy, let's say a ship. I have basic cannon, firebrand, and lightning unlocked. Of them all, lightning has the least amount of dots, yet it does the most damage. Will I get more rep using lightning because of the only 2 pips, or regular cannonball because it does less damage but has 5 pips? Did I explain that well, lol? Also, does anyone really know if it's better to just hack, hack, hack and enemy or use combos(in terms of rep)?

Argh, I know I have more questions, but I can't think of them now. Oh well.
