Do I have to worry about going through the story too quick that my notority goes up too quick that it hurts my weapon balance?

The short of it, Yes.
Now I'm just starting to test this theory with my newest pirate, so I'm here to learn this as much as you. She is so far a lev 12 with all her weapons at around 7, and still getting really good rep off almost anything over a lev 8 emeny. I'm only putting one skill point into each "damaging" skill, and saving all the other skill points til she gets good and up there. In contrast, my lev 32 pirate, who raced thru the Pearl Quest in no time, is having a hard time getting anything over 25 rep on just about anything...grr
The problem with the rep system in this game, is that using the higher skills you have in your weapons, the Less rep points you get. It makes NO sence.
So, by using your lesser skills, you get more points...ok...that also means as you're hacking away at an enemy using that little skill, (poke on voodoo doll for example) you're giving the enemy a greater chance at hurting you.
So, in order for you to be able to take out the enemys, still get good rep, and not DIE, you have to have some sort of balance between your health score (which goes up with the more nort. you have) and weapon level. The best way to keep your weapons and health in balance, IMO, is to ignore the Pearl quests to begin with. Wait to gain the nort. from those quests (which is a lot, and it happens really fast) til you're happy with your weapon lev. Like I said, I'm still testing this out, and I'm sure more experienced Pirates will have better advice
