This helped a ton! Although I was not as tedious with the non-grenade rep while proceeding through the quest, I was able to level my grenades up to level 21 in just a few days before they grayed out.

I have now been on the beach of Padres fighting gypsy after gypsy, I use a few hex eater shots so they don't attack, then lob my entire arsenal of smoke grenades, then finish them off with the fire grenades, yielding 100 rep each gypsy. What's great is the shop for more grenades and hex eaters is located very close. This is slower then what Kingshead use to do at a low level, but I find this a great way to get from the point when the Vets gray out to mastery. Just a few more days on this beach and I'll master them.
