My question is this, if I concentrate all my time and skill progression into those two areas will it come back to haunt me later, or will I still be able to catch up on my landlubber skills here and there during breaks from sailing about?

I'm in kinda the same boat (if you'll pardon the double entendre).

I ran through the Pearl quest. After I came out of it I noticed how low all my actual skills were.

If you don't have a pressing need to see the Boss Battle ASAP, here's what I'd recommend doing.

Allot yourself blocks of two days (real days) to work on a given thing. Spend two days on sword, then two days on pistol, then two days on sailing, etc etc. Also, allot quest time in there too (as if the quest were a skill).

Any day you don't play doesn't count against the two day block.

The only breaks I'd recommend are for teleport token quests. The tokens are too valuable to put off getting. So when you come up for a teleport token, interrupt whatever else you were doing and get it.

This should even out your skills and rep.

Personally, I'm too anal to do it this way. So, since I finished the Boss Battle, I've been grinding almost exclusively on a single skill to mastery.

So far I'm mastered on both voodoo items and sailing. I'm pushing in on mastering cutlass.
