Easy rep and cannon skill

[Vangelis]

I did this the other day by accident as I was desperate to get my cannon skill up and found a real easy way to do it :-) I went from level 8 to level 16 in one day without really trying, and while you can do this on your own, its fun to do it with crew.

First, find a quiet server, people do tend to steal your ideas...

Go to Tortuga, get your ship out in the direction of Kingshead

After sailing for a while, you will see an EITC Warlord.

Set up so your cannons can reach it from a long distance.

Hit the thing with all you've got, one hit will disturb it and it will come to you

Sink it, 100 rep each time. Wait 10 seconds for it to respawn, then do it again

This way, if you do it right, you take very little damage at all. Especially since the Warlord is the only ship in that area :-)

This is a good tactic when wanting to level up cannon skill and/or just rep.
