Mastered Weapons
 

Before you master and you kill something, that rep goes in your rep for pistol AND notoriety. But when you hit level 25, sadly, it doesnt. Sometimes I get +25 rep in my notoriety though! I think they should still add that rep in your notoriety count, as if you weapon WASN'T mastered, but it really is.


P.S. Anybody know how that +25 rep works?

You might have gotten a new treasure item you get +25 if its new.

Yeah but usually its not new :[
Probably its those boring rudyards teeth.

Yeah it was probably a new treasure

Actually no it wasn't new, right now in kingshead I got 1 of the nine rouges (I HAVE THEM ALL...) and got 25 rep.

Sometimes ya get rep randomly from treasure even if ye have found it.

I had read here somewhere that you get the 25 notoriety every time, not just when they are new. But I have confirmation of that information.

Now what do you mean by that Zep?
Well I've already tried leveling up with a mastered weapon and it doesn't work.
But I can usually get rep from getting treasure. Weird...

Maybe it comes from the cards.

When you get any Treasure (Teeth, Item, Collectable, Figurine and the like) you are awarded 25 REP no matter what - its a Bonus for finding a treasure...

That is how some Basic Members get past the L12 Noriety - Treasures add 25 REP no matter what (though at basic L12 - your limited to treasures you can find so its a LONG process...) :)

I'm guessing that means a basic access member could get to level 40 if they were a very obsessive palyer.

First of all,

Yes, you get 25 points whenever there is a plunder of a treasure item. It does not have to be "new." Cheat cards do not give the 25 points.

Second,

Plunder is given for 10% of enemies defeated. Some newer enemy types give 0% (e.g. French Lieutenants or Spanish Conquistadors.)

Third,

A basic access member is low level - at level 14 EVEN WITH the invisible and invulnerable KH glitch, the level 18 veterans are far too tough to defeat in a timely manner. (Certainly way, way, way longer than 1 minute.) Camping on the gravediggers would get you reported.

Fourth,

To get ~526,800 points...at say, one monster every 15 seconds (way faster than physically possible, but what the hey) gives 4 enemies defeated per minute - 2.5 minutes for ten enemies - 2.5 minutes for 25 points - precisely 10 points per minute, on average. 525,000 / 10 = 52,500 minutes. 60 minutes in an hour = 875 hours. Two hours a day (ugh! On a boring pirate! You've GOT to be kidding!) would be 439 DAYS. Pirates Online hasn't been around that long yet, though.

So, if you see a basic member level 40, you can be certain they used to be unlimited. (Likewise 30.) The fact that most pirates don't make it that far at all, should be a big clue for ya. It is a huge grind, for unlimited...but not physically possible for a basic.

Yeah its true. I doubt that a person could reach 40 by collecting treasure. Eventually they will be very bored.

aye but u get nothin if ur already at 40 and masters all weapons

Hopefully they will increase the limit! :)
