Can you even get to 50?
 

Question is can you even get to level 50 now with the amount of reps available?

An old thread touched on that question and its listed here:

Level Cap Raise

There are some questions about the number of available reps and the amount needed to get to 50. I don't think there are enough reps even with the possibility of residual reps not used after hitting level 40 and including the Fathers day quest double credits scenario. Any thoughts?

Sure, it is possible, but hopefully not easy or normal. I do like the idea of NO cap, myself. Just make it so those who really have invested time and kill LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTS of skellies can get there. The current repl-level assignments work for me.

I just hope they don't easy this up too so everybody can attain level 50 without trying.

Maybe, maybe not. I think that it is possible, well in fact anything is.. treasures give you 25 rep. But quests, there should be new ones to help gain rep.

How much grinding is it going to take to get there? Are we going to get bored like when we were tossing grenades to no end?? So then you get to 50......and then what? :buds:

Just an opinion:

I posted just the other day that Disney had to find a fair and equitable method to give those pirates who well EXCEEDED 40 with all the additional quests, reps, etc., some method of recuperating at least SOME of that lost rep. It appears that they haven't, at least so far, on the new test updates.

Last year I posted that I wasn't going to do ANY of the new quests after reaching 40, until I saw noto level increases, so that the rep wouldn't be lost. I have a lot of quests in backlog on my level 40 pirates.

My opinion of the current state of things.
NO, based on what is currently available, you won't be able to reach level 50. The new skill levels of 30 won't let you take Noto to 50. BUT, I believe that Disney will have a new set of mini quests, and possibly the next story chapter ready within months, and that is the rep that will get us there.

I disagree, my fully mastered friend on test is level 41 and with all weapons still lvl 25 (they haven't logged on yet). I think we'll still get the rep.

James,

Are you saying that they are level 41 and haven't gone on test since the update? That would imply that Disney DID give them credit for rep earned after they hit level 40.

Others that I know have already posted that this isn't true.

There is another scenario to put out there...

You wouldn't release a "major" story quest without raising the Caps first - so this could be just the start.

By raising the Caps and giving a few side quests with weapons, they can work this out before releasing any larger story line. That alone may make up the difference in missing REP. :)

Well, I don't log on test much but she had all weapons mastered before the updatte and there is no way you can get that much rep from one day of questing.

I also have someone on my friend list that turned level 41, possibly who you are talking about. But if they are the same, this person was online leveling (not sure about weapon levels before) and they are now, level 41 with level 25 weapons.

So apparently, the Host GM's were giving us clues that are now evolving on test...Aye?

In my opinion, that was the point of the role playing events (and to get others together was a plus).

Wow, this lost me, we were talking about getting to level 50.

Only thing ive seen from the Gm's clues, was perhaps the promise of raising our caps.
I saw nothing else in the updates that directly pertained to the RPG events.

They did increase the reps you can get from enemies, so this may also help in getting a pirate to level 50.

Lori Shahiyen?

lol, never mind then. Iona Bigship (or something like that.. another pofer ;)) was level 41 when me and Swash were wandering around tormenta..

I asked Moondoggie (lvl 40 former fully mastered weapons on test) and he said he didn't have any rep towards lvl 41 when he logged on after the update. Just my luck that my alt (Shadow) is 22 rep from lvl 40 on the main servers with all weapons mastered so I guess I'll not master him yet and keep my questing rep for the updates.

I'm sure Disney took the time to make it possible for already mastered pirates to get to level 50. At least from reading the thread it sounds like they put all the rep you earned after mastering towards the new levels.

Godo thing too, because if they didn't they'd be getting a lot of complaints. Speaking of the raised Nort caps, does anyone know how much rep you need for weapon levels 26-30? I'm hoping it's not too much, because I hated leveling grenades to level 25, and I'm sure it won't compare to level 30.

One of my friends was fully mastered prior to this, they said its 5600 rep to level 26 for a weapon, 42600 rep to 41

Gee, alot of work for my low pirates to eventually get there...lol Certainly won't get bored! Thx SOS for that info

Thanks... but now I'm starting to regret asking. :laughks2:

I hope that shortly after this update comes to open, the second story quest will come out to give us enough rep to get to level 50. It's really too bad, though, that they haven't released any new islands. I'm sure even one more new island could mean an intertaining second story quest. As of right now I'm a bit worried that we'll have to go back, fight lower level enemies, and possibly go to the exact same places we went to during the BP Quest.

We might not have to fight low level enemies. I can't really remember, but I know there was a thread before saying.. we might have to be higher level to finish the pearl? If that is the case, we would be mid 20's to low 30's, which would give us a slightly more difficult quest. Even if its possible to be low level and finish it, Disney may have had it to where they would like you to be higher level when finished, meaning they could base the next quest around that.

Quite honestly, I DON"T CARE if I have to fight the same enemies in the same locations or not! The fact remains that I have waited over a year since my first AND second pirates hit level 40. Those two have been shelved ever since then. I applaud the fact that there will be new increases in the Noto and Weapons caps. I have been paying good money while waiting for Disney to give me something to do, and now (soon) I have it!

I REALLY do want the next story chapter, but I also think the levels have to be raised, and the new content distributed in a controlled fashion. If I reach level 50 and all maxed out before the next story chapter, then I'll complain.

hmm
 

Hmm I have clicked the card for a few pirates and sure enough it says level 41 but when I TP to them, surprise, they are only level 40. This seems to be a glitch for some of my friends. I do know a few players that have actually leveled to 41 already.

Its a long way between levels-5600 to 26, 5900 to 27 and then I don't know since I didn't get there. Just an estimate but 6200, 6500, 6700? Add them up and you get 30,900. In my last estimate I used 31,000 so I don't think its far off the numbers. 8 things to master times 31,000 is 248,000 reps. With those numbers you only get to about level 45 note. That leaves about 300,000 reps to go to master, I can't wait to quest for that many reps. Should take a good long time(lets hope)

For the last few levels of my alt, I was bagging over 50,000 rep a day but even then it would take a week and school's starting soon. Why couldn't they have done this in the summer rather than now when everyone's busy?

Thats the point I think...

Why put new updates in summer when all the kids are going to be home playing them and finishing fast and then quitting unlimited.
Disney is all about the money!
They put in updates right before school because they know it will take longer for us to get bored!!

:Pirate4:Yep pretty boring idea just get a few more Benjamins!!

If these updates do come on September 8th, I have 3 days to get it done. 100,000 rep per day :laughks2:

Well, seeing as I only have one mastered pirate(because when I rush through games I lose interest very fast), I can't argue with that statement.

I do, however, not want to play POTCO if I'm going to have to do what I already did over again. I don't mind doing the exact same thing on another pirate, but doing the exact same thing on the same pirate is TOO repetitive. If I'm going to level up my weapons to level 30, I want to go to some place new. Not just tormenta all over again.

They could throw in some really creepy island just for higher level enemies, that way us higher level pirates can actually level up in a different place. I can only stand so much repeat, and I can only easily get my weapons to level 30 by leveling up in tormenta, I don't want to.

Throw in some big grand spooky island, Disney, so that there's more places to level up at. This is POTCO we're talking about, and they can expand their story even farther than the regular POTC story. I just don't see how some people are going to be able to level up their weapons to 30 if they only do it in tormenta. And if they do it somewhere else odds are they aren't going to find a high enough enemy group to level up their weapons.

I'm sorry, but I shouldn't have to spend MY money on a game that forces me to repeat things over and over again without anything original. Let's pretend for a minute that no new islands are coming to the carribean. No new are what-so-ever. Can you do 3+ story quests with nothing new and fighting EXACTLY the same enemies over and over again? I can't...

Personally I just got to 40, and I am sick of weapon lvling. The only thing I like is that in SvS there never seem enough Skill Points to really let you do damage, so with weapons at 30, thats a nice bonus of 5 skill points. Also, I cant stand to not be mastered after all that hard work. And I don't think disney is makeing it too easy, they are making the rep you get from enemys higher, but I think they are trying to keep it from getting unbearable. Either way I garantee that on the first day of being able to lvl to 50, there will be many. I hope to get there in, at most, 2-3weeks, by systematicly mastering weapons based on my favorites and what would be easiest. I think any weapon that kills multiple targets is a great choice for this.

I don't think I will be re-newing my subscription in a year's time. Unless there is some new long quest to do, similiar size as black pearl or maybe kraken will arrive. I'm fed up weapon leveling, the only thing I seem to do thats worthwhile on POTC is help fellow Pirates. It seems I have to constantly level weapons to achieve being master, which is the ultimate goal for your Pirate, t'is now boring and tedious sadly.

I don't think you'll have to wait too long - as the main reason for finally Raising the cap is to relase a major storyline soon after (hence - if they released the major storyline before the cap - none of the new Rep from the quest would count - and that would be bad :) )

The new quest from the other threads already floating around and from the conversations with the new NPCs suggest the next sotryline based around Rotts Guild and his possible connection to Jolly Roger - it may not contain new islands or a kraken - but I think it will be a major story quest (and as a bonus - you can even do his mini-quests meantime).

Though there are no new islands - they did increase REP earned from a target (115 REP for land based, 150 REP for Ships the last I've been able to confirm) so getting from 40 to 50 will at least be a tad bit easier :)

Get to 50??? I don't even have my staff or sailing mastered! Doh! Guess that tends to happen when you don't play for months haha.

150 rep for ships? Finally, that will help level those pesky cannons nicely.

I'll have to try cannons next - as I only tested Broadsides. I had run out of ammo and had to get one more Centurion for one of Rott' quests, the ship didn't look pretty coming back in but I got him :)

I would like to re-confirm the 150 though only because it was wierd that I got that number when everything on land appears to be at 115 (without bonus of course).

It will probably be just how things were before the new additions were made. The Black Pearl quest usually brought you up to atleast Lv27 - 28 and the rest you went on by random quests and leveling weapons. If the weapons rep does not meet the Lv50 requirements, they probably have random quests that you could do to reach it.

I have been testing, and was only able to get +115 max when sailing. And the same when using cannon.

Dont know if anyone posted this, But you need 6800 rep to get from 29-30 in weapon levels, or around 6800

Using that information from SWII to verify the pattern, and a chart I had on weapons reps, I came up with this chart I believe is correct.

It can be seen here in the "The Helm" (test forum).

http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/f...ad.php?t=12954

Ouch, well... hopefully visiting Tormenta a bit will change my attitude towards this amount.

Hey, can anyone with level 25 grenades on test tell us the amount of rep you get per enemy in tormenta or for enemies level 45+?(i've never been one to take the time to level up my test pirate, as he's still level 13 after two years)

I'm guessing its 115 still, thats what my friends got with different weapons, nades should be no different.

At max reps (not counting crew bonuses) it will take 270 wins rewarding +115 reps each to go from level 25 to level 30 on a single weapon.

That's almost exactly right. Now... all I need to do is get up at 6:00 A.M. on a saturday morning and stay up all night to master grenades. Must. Master. Grenades. First.

Pfft, take your time with grenades once you get them to 20. I finally masterd mine and they're raising the cap...like they planned it that way just to prove I'll never master grenades on any of my pirates ;)

Based on Zeps chart for the weapons levels, (which I agree with), Taking all weapons from level 25 to level 30 you will earn 248,000 rep. This is strictly the rep on the weapons and skills.

It will no way cover all that we will need to get from Noto level 40 to level 50. That is going to require a minimum of 428,000. Leaving us approximately 180,000rep, or more, short.

So, there is going to HAVE TO BE new quest(s) to make up the difference. The Casa Muertos Guild quests are only a drop in the bucket. They won't even begin to scratch the surface of what is going to be needed. I wouldn't be the least surprised if people who hurry are maxed weapons (level 30) and have notoriety at around level 46/47. Then they will have to wait for the next story chapter and some new weapons quests to go beyond that point.

Also, I would be curious to see if it will make a difference if you hurry and level the weapons before the quest(s) are released, or would you be better off waiting til the new quests come out?

Zep states that you would need MAX rep on every kill, for 270 kills per weapon to go from level 25 to level 30. But, the higher in rep you are, the less rep per kill of comparable enemies. I would estimate that the number of kills required to get from 25 to 30 is going to be more in the area of 500 or more, per weapon.

I plan to take my time and work all my pirates, rather than to rush just one through. A little on each, then switch to the next.

Whatever! The new levels are going to be interesting to achieve.

Hmm, I still got a little secret weapon if thats the case, its not a glitch, more like a little loophole in the game

On Toontown they did this whole "Search for BBHQ" before the next enemy headquarters came out, so I'm not surprised by the host events.'

As for getting to Lv.50, they're definitely going to need to increase the Notoriety Points for the quests. I personally think that should make it so that for the next chapter, you get 500/1000 rep for every part of each mission you're assigned. I certainly would prefer that over an excruciatingly long next chapter....

I wouldn't want that for every single task, it would mean 1 of two things. One, story would be SHORT, if we've waited this long for something, it should be a decent length. And two, it would make it too EASY to hit level 50 (given 180,000rep is the guess on how much rep is required after master weapons).

If we kept the next chapter with 100 Notoriety points for each section, that would mean running around 1800 times to NPCs, enemies, etc, to make up for that 180,000 reputation to get to Lv. 50, plus extra reputation for those of us who already have fully mastered Lv. 40 pirates with all the tasks and weapons complete. I understand that not ALL tasks would be only at 100, but I just don't think the consistency can keep with 100 reputation points, and everyone still managing to get to Lv. 50 without drinking an entire barrel of rum to do it with.

Sure, doing that would make the task shorter, but it doesn't necessarily mean that would make it easier. I personally would love to see tasks that are more involved with higher level enemies, and actually FORCE you to train weapons along the way. With the pearl task, I completed it at an early level, went and completed the other tasks easy, and just spent the rest of my time weapons training since I had nothing else left to do.

I want to be occupied, but not for so long that it gets too boring for me to handle. This was why I was against taking away the percentages, because the fact that I saw myself 70% through the task is what got me to complete it. Without the percents, I would have never completed the Pearl task, and I would have been bored a long time since the Pearl task was incredibly easy for me.

Am I the only one that hates questing? I find it the most boring part of the game. 180,000 rep from questing? -_-

I find questing the best part of the game. Adventure, exploration, 'thinking' about what im doing, and where I am going.

PVP and SVS are the worst part of the game from my perspective. Player vs player games are overdone in every game genre, and POTCO's version of it leaves ALOT to be desired.

SvS is the only thing that has kept me playing this game after the long stent of no new content. You can only do the story quest so many times before you just want to throw up.
Ship vs. Ship to me is about team work , interaction with others and the thrill of fury lighting up the skies of the caribbean. The most excitement I have ever got in this game was while I was SvS'ing. I suggest to anyone that hasnt gave SvS a whirl to do so. You will have a blast.

I find SVS ok, just still needs few minor tweaks, one of which, speed, will be fixed by the next update. PVP, due to the ease that you can cheat in it, plus the lack of any real fun I see, is next to useless. I enjoy quests, but quests with new tasks, and none of "earning their trust" by killing 10 enemies only to find out you need to kill more.

As far as the weapons quests...I am presently working on the staff as I mentioned in another thread. I was relieved to kill my quota of Undead gypsies, Executioners, & Raiders. Now enemies to be defeated include Dragoons, Assassins, & Raiders. Had to defeat some flytraps in between...can';t remember right now which kind...but I tried to get my quota of those on Outcast...they didn't work. The quest specifically says El Suderon. So, I have not had the time to be bored...trying to defeat higher & higher level enemies and many times without a healer keeps me quite occupied. And the caves definitely add to the quest. Admittedly my pirate on test isn't Mastered...but the quests seem to be much more challenging IMHO

Just adding on to what I said before. If the story quest will always give us a large amount of rep... its gonna be a shorter quest. Yes, a shorter quest at times may seem nice, but given the fact this is the second story quest, one that plenty have been waiting for for a long time... having it shortened would get us back to that point of boredom much, much sooner. I don't mind questing for that much rep, because I don't plan on finishing it in a couple of days. It would give something to do for a few weeks at a time (if not longer).

It might begin to be unbearable, but I can see Disney taking this approach. The first quest was a lengthy one the first go around, but it felt shorter each time you did it after. If Disney were to lengthen this quest even more, it would allow us to have something to keep us busy going in to the next updates (when/if they will come).

Speed has already been fixed. Anyone who is speeding now is doing so using something that goes against the policies that they agreed to follow at the beginning of the game. Its now done by a third party system, which means anyone doing it has a high chance of being banned/terminated.

On test I'm a lvl 45 12124/54800 . i have all weapons maxed but cannon and i just got lvl 27 cannon ...there is no way to get to 50 without quests

That's a letdown. The 5 longest levels all by questing? :mybadki6:

Perhaps with these new quests and now increased weapon level Caps it will encourage more people to crew and guild, to get more rep to master. Admittedly I can be a bit solitary at times on this game, even on SvS. Which I like but also loathe.

I think it is possible to get to lv50 even if you max all your weapons, and do all the quests that come with it in the release September 4th. You could just do the Blackmack task a ton of times to get to lv50, or, find treasures. I don't pay attention if I get rep when I get treasures, so I am not sure if you get rep for them. I have been told you do get rep for finding treasures. If you do one of these things, it would probably take months.... maybe years depending how much you play and how much you play cards. :12_1_138:

So its most likely not a good idea to rush out and master all skills as soon as the update hits open cause then when the next story or lvl 6 weapon quests come out you will still be killing stuff sinking stuff for NO weapon rep only the quest rep. I dont know about the rest of you but i have seen enough +0rep everytime I sink or kill something I want to try to lvl as I go when new quests come out!

This wont help to get to level 50, it would only make it faster but getting larger point totals while doing it. Crewing rewards you bonus's, but does not increase the total reps your pirate can 'hold'. Get a weapon to level 30, and even with 100 crewmates, your still getting 0 reps.

Actually, there are NO actual new quests with the proposed 9/4 update. Only the 'timed' special event quests with the Casa Muertos Guild. If they are not changed from what we saw on test, these are barely a scratch in the surface as to the required number of reps to hit level 50.

The Black Mack quest I believe rewards you a cheat card, nothing more.

Treasures reward the pirate 25 notoriety reps if it is a "NEW" item. Once you have your collections full, I do not believe you recieve any further rewards (other than gold value). Cards do not grant any rep whatsoever, and neither does playing cards.

Reevaluating the amount of rep necessary to get to level 50, I do not think its possible to hit level 50, even if you start a new pirate, and did all the quests, and mastered all your weapons. However a 2nd story quest which I believe all this is in preparation for may provide the additional reps necessary.

Keep in mind that Double Rep events, Crewing etc, only expedite your getting to the implemented caps, and wont help get any closer to level 50 than without them (other than speeding up the process). Added: There is one exception to this, questing during a double rep event will definately help towards reaching level 50, these points are only limited by the notoriety cap itself.

Regarding the treasure rep, you get it regardless of whether it is new or not. I reached level 40 on a treasure I already had on Shadow.

I'll take your word for it, I was going based on information that was previously concluded after much debate here on POF. Seems some people get it, and some dont, I just dont understand that! lol

Well, I got a left thumb and had all weapons mastered so I hope this solves it unless you can see anything else that caused me to level (picture in spoiler because its sorta large).



Edit: Spoiler didn't work so here it is anyway lol.

I told you id take your word for it, that ive seen some get it, and some not get it.
I "KNOW FOR A FACT" that it doesnt reward me unless its a "new" item.
I didnt find out by accident... I tested it.

Nifty screen though, just proves what we both said.. thanks!

When I used to do the BlackMack Quest, I got 100 points for the first quest, then, he gives me a second quest to kill a skeleton or something, then he gives me a cheat card. And I was told I get 25 rep points finding even an old treasure. I was told that by my friend that was Basic Access at the time. Maybe you only get rep for already found treasures when your basic. I will find the BlackMack Quest again and see if the reward says it gives rep and a cheat card.

I was killing lvl 1-3 grave diggers for 0 rep when i got a treasure drop that was not new and got 25 rep look at the Not circle maybe you are missing it Zep it goes really quick or maybe its just you not sure but all treasures new or old give 25 Not rep.
http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/v...reasurerep.jpg

it might be possible because u still do get reps for mastered weapons this time :)

Ok, well you guys, I totally understand what your saying, I dont disbelieve you.
It appears to be broken on the pirate that I used to test it, the main one I play now.
It works on other pirates of mine now having tried them.

I havnt been reading the last few pages, but is everyone gonna try to get level 50 from the items?

Edit this!!!!:laughks2:

He's totally mastered now pretty sure:laughks2:

And NO he was not on for 24/7:laughks2:

I can't speak for everyone, but from what i'm reading, no. People are just stating that it IS possible to get to level 50 without new quests. I doubt anyone is going to do it.. if they do, kudos to them.

Well I know what Im going to do then =D

I did the BlackMack Quest on my lvl40 Pirate yesterday. He can be found in the Rowdy Rooster standing next to the bar. He offered me 2 quests, and they both said the reward is +100 rep. I did the quest, and he gave me the rep. Then, he wanted me to kill 16 Mutineers. I did that, then he gave me the playing card. I went back to the bar, and the quest came back to do again. This means you can get to level 50 even without mastering or leveling any weapons at all! It would just take a lot of hard work and time. ( Unless they update the quest in the future not to give XP )

Actually, there are definately ways of gaining rep in quests like this, by repeating them, even some that are not typically repeatable. Your comment reminded me. I know on one pirate that I experimented with one of the Jewelry quests, and found an easy way to get like 400 rep in a few seconds, and then drop the quest, pick it up again, and repeat it.

You can pick up the side quests, take them to a certain point, then drop them leaving them unfinished so you can start them over again.

That would definately be a way to get to level 50 with limitations on the game as it currently resides on Test.

this is gonna be a long way to go

:psmiley27:Found something new today!!!!:psmiley27:
:dancetl6:Game insider right here:dancetl6:
For this new update coming out...
If you mastered a weapon and keep using it to kill enemies you still get rep!!!!!

So say I mastered doll and im level 45..
I can still get rep with my doll and it still levels me!!!!

Where did you get that info? Post a link?

Have a friend who has mastered doll on test.
He uses doll in tormenta and is level 47 at the moment.
All he does is doll and run around tormenta killing these enemies for a easy 115 rep.
I was wondering how he was still getting rep and he told me you still get notoriety rep now even if you have mastered that weapon.

:dancetl6:Please post if you can back me up!!!:dancetl6:

I wandered around a bit in Tormenta myself.. a lowly level 29... and found a few friendly 40+'s, and at least one that was fully mastered weapon wise (at least when I looked at his profile). He was level 46 or 47, cant remember now, but remember he had all level 30 weapons/skills. I guess he knew me from here, hope he wasnt one of those that i've grouched at. ;) I asked him if he was still getting notoriety reps on his mastered weapons, and he said yes, and a good reps at that.

LOL it was me who is fully maxed and im a level 46..i was able to get 1/2 way thru lvl 45 before i was maxed weapons...i Was Also a fully maxed pirate. if you are a 40 and dont have maxed weapons you are able to get to a higher lvl without being maxed. Just something to think about....and yes still getting great rep with all weapons maxed

2 cool
 

wowsers
i heard of you and the guild you are with promoting that Mikhail.
good thing you got going, i'm watching closely to see you hit the 50 mark.
i think that was your goal. keep listing the progress man, i love reading it.
is there any other verifiable proof of any others that high?
what a cool thing!!!

yeah i was passed by someone who was NOT a maxed 40 he still has a few weapons to lvl and hes a 47 i have about 20k till im 47 :sadmh9:

There are two of those pirates lvl 47 who doll those tormenta for 115 easy rep!!!:laughks2:
Darius the Pygmy and Stinky la Feet... (Both good friends of mine)
They dont just doll but they work together well.
They trying to get lvl 50 before it hits open!!!:psmiley27:

Well as of 4:10 pm EST august 30th .... I AM LEVEL 50!!!

Congrats!! way to go.

Congrats. You are the first I've heard of.

Congrats
 

Congrats! Hitting 50 is awesome.
Did you master all weapons too?
I have a few friends in Itchy Britches that were watching you but
they didn't see either way. I have not seen another 50 either so
that is really a first.

Addendum: Storm Shark of IB tells me you have all weapons mastered too!
woohoo that's fully mastered woohoo!!

Huge Congrats!

Three more level 49's just about to hit level 50!!!!
They have not matered all weapons but are close!!!

AHHH! Congrats!!! OMG - What an accomplishment! I can't wait for it to come to open. I am actually going to take a day off from work to level my currently (but about to be formerly) mastered pirate Kat Five Knives.

Way to Go Buddy!!!
:SkullBullet1:

Thank you to the people who said Congrats!

49 - 63,000 *
50 - 65,900 *


"*" means it has been confirmed by screenie. "?" is calculated based on the other levels.

That means 538,100 rep to get from level 40 to level 50.

Updated per Swash and CGG input. List should be accurate now, no guesswork.

Basil, 49-50 Is 65900 rep, unless it changed

TY, Swash. It was a guess. I've updated the post to reflect the actual number.

43 = 47,300
44 = 49,700

I saw two level 50s yesterday, both were fully mastered on ALL weapons as well, meaning at the new level 30!. I dont recall their names but their guilds were "The savvy" and "X-jumper" the latter was a founder.

Thanks. List updated, and now complete.

Well
 

Well I started this thread weeks ago asking the question "can you even get to 50?"
What I have found is that you can get to 50 and with very little difficulty, all you need is time. Unfortunately for me I have been ill and home from work for weeks. All I had was time so this could not have been more easy. Here are some helpful tips to make the grind go faster.

1) Use your doll and heal everyone. Be nice and offer to heal anyone who is around. You can heal many players at once and while they are doing the hard work you can gain valuable reps healing them. Be sure to have tonics so that if you slip up you can revive them. You can also use your doll to heal yourself. Attack with any weapon and then switch to doll and use life drain then switch back to another weapon and continue. Since you get reps even when mastered its both practical in saving you tonics and gets you more reps then just using one weapon.

2) Battle the Bosses. They give some of the best reps and allow you to switch off weapons to get multiple weapons trained at the same time. For the boss stump on outcast take a friend and let them heal you for great reps. Its win win and you can get over 400 reps a stump there.

3) Choose quiet servers. Competing with other players for the best spots is a waste of time. Find a nice quiet spot and with a few guildmates you can bang out great reps with very nice crew reps to boot.

4) Sail with a small crew. Sailing takes time and so does cannons. Sail with players that understand to only use heavy ammo on the sails and to use light ammo on the ship to maximize the reps. All you need is one cowboy using fury on everything to ruin your reps every time.

5) Play at night. The game runs so much better in the late hours of the night. During the day its laggy and esp now when school gets out things slow down noticeably.

6) Find Game Flaws. At first this sounds like a cheat but hear me out. When you used to train your nades behind the fence at Kingshead you were taking advantage of a game flaw. There are many similar flaws that you can use to your advantage. Remember Darkhart is a raider and if you stand just far enough from him he will not attack you. You can stand right in the doorway of the gate to his left and you can nade, shoot and staff him to your hearts content. I have done that for hours with great success and absolute safety. You don't need to cheat to get to 50 all you need is time.

Good info. I like the Undead Timothy Dartan nowadays for leveling. You can whack him quickly with whatever weapon you are focusing on, get 100+ points, and when he's down, run over to the low level raider right nearby and life drain ol' Bonesy. Yer all healed up and Dartan's back! You can (I suspect) get more reps this way in a shorter period because he dies quickly and respawns quickly. Since he uses voodoo you can stand far away and nade him or get up close and personal. A healer is nice, but not necessary.

You also don't have to be concerned that you are taking advantage of a glitch to level, since he will attack you the entire time. You can use daggers to break attunement, as well as throwing dirt or eating his voodoo away with Hex Shot. He just seems to be a good way of training everything with good results that you don't have to feel iffy about.

I still believe that getting to 50 this way is due to a BUG. Rep should not be given for using a mastered weapon. No rep was ever given after weapon level 25 on the way to Noto level 40. Taking all weapons and skills to level 30 from level 25 should only earn you 248,000 rep. Then all rep earning should stop.

It takes 538,000 rep to get Noto from 40 to 50. Mastering the weapons should only get you to level 46.

I believe that the fact that people are still earning rep from fully maxed out weapons is due to an accident in the programming. I have reported this BUG on both open and test. Disney intended for people to to work their weapons up, but still need the next story chapter in order to fully master. I will bet that, when it is finally released, the next story chapter plus some new side quests, give about 300K in rep, and that is where the difference should be.

I congratulate anyone who has the patience to make 50 by continuing to grind the weapons well beyond level 30, but I also feel that they are getting there by taking advantage of a flaw in the programming. They will miss out on the natural progression to the higher levels that others will accomplish by using the rep from the future quests.

With 4 level 40 pirates all waiting for this release, I'm in no hurry to get them to 50 and be sitting around with nothing to do. Been there, done that, for more than a year.

I agree Basil, the gaining of reps on mastered weapons contradicts the normal game play that had been established, and normally used in MMORGs. I think this will be removed at some time. If its not flat out a bug, it was Disney's ways of stifling all the high levels from complaining about having no means to hit level 50 (prior to new story quests/content).

Regardless
 

I don't think its important to worry about what Disney is thinking at the moment. The fact is that you can, indeed make it to 50 regardless of personal preference to play and personal feelings about how you may want to level. I think its great that you can get there and its a blast having all the extra skill points to play around with. Its also nice to have the ability to fight very high level enemies without fear of dying. There isn't a darn thing that can kill a well trained level 50 any more. When the new quest line comes out it should be a piece of cake to get through. What a pleasure it will be not having to worry about finishing old quests to get to the new one. As for getting bored, I have 6 other level 40 pirates to play slow with so there is plenty to do and lots of time to do it.
