My Cutlass is 14 and my Dagger is 13. I have many skill points available. I know that "Flourish" and "Sidewinder" are nice to max, but if I do this now, will it kill my rep against the level 30+ enemies? I have one point in each currently.
Thanks!

Of course you don't have to assign the points right away. You might also want to consider some of the passive skills to take some of those points (1 or 2 in parry and load up endurance). I was working last night and saved a point in anticipation of going up the next level and having a skill unlock (which then promptly got 2 points)
The entrance to the quarry next to gunners shack has a little landing just inside where there's one EITC type soldier (fairly high level), and a Navy officer (sometimes a vet) but far enough apart to take them one at a time. I was going back and forth between them to work on Dagger. There are 3 or 4 npc's around that can do a full heal for 5GP. So if you can drop an officer (even if he takes you red) or a mercenary/hired-gun/etc that's a pretty good place to work.
Or if your pistol is high enough to have hex-eater, go to the beach on PDF (either through the quarry and el suderon or swim off the dock). Hit an undead gypsy with 2 or 3 shots of hex-eater and then whittle them down with the weapon of your choice but don't use the combo moves- attack pause attack pause. You get the bulk of the points in the weapon you used and some in the pistol. If you do it right you should be able to pull almost 100 (or 110 if you're in a crew) pts per gypsy and take no damage (which means you would regenerate pts if you need them). The downside is the grenadiers. I usually drop them as quickly as possible because (a) they always seem to attack when you're dealing with something else and (2) it might regenerate as a gypsy- I have taken the vodoo out of 3 gypsies at a time and worked around to finish them off and (c) they are usually lower level (gray/ green to the gypsies' yellow/red)- you can still work them for rep but you're taking more damage and have to use a potion or life drain (or go to the tavern for a 5 GP special)
