do you find any weapons annoying?

I see the same things you do but I look at them very differently...

1) The quest for grenades is the most challenging and in most cases requires teamwork. It is perhaps the only one that is best done in teams. If done alone it requires a very skilled pirate. It is an excellent test of a players skills. No other quest is as challenging.

2) Easiest to train by far. Stand behind the fence at kingshead and go from lvl 1 to 20 in an afternoon. You go from Note 20 to Note 24 and bank 8000+ gold. You save lvl 15 thru 20 skill points and drop them all on siege charge when it opens.

3) When you have a 5 skill point siege charge you can use it to defeat otherwise undefeatable enemies like stumps. At notoriety lvl 25 stumps are still very tough to beat but with siege charges they are a snap. There are some quests that require you to defeat high lvl enemies and this is the ticket to success in that area. Also you open up two very important passives Determination which increases your health recovery rate 50% and Demolitions which increases the area of effect for your grenades and cannonballs. Both of these are very useful.

I can understand how why this isn't well understood. Most players just don't train their grenades when they first get them and then they find out later its much harder and the grenades become much less useful. On your next pirate try this and see if you don't pull out grenades more.

Nades are hard, definitely, but I don't think they're the worst. In fact, once you have seige, they're kinda fun. And hard to get? Yeah, but a challenging quest is a good thing, and there are so few now in the game.

Pistol, on the other hand, is just as boring to level (no combos, no fun graphics, just point & click... repeatedly), and really has no usefulness once its mastered. That one I master first, and then pretend it doesn't exist.

I don't understand the fence thing. I see other just farming the dudes, but when I try, they charge thru the fence and K.O. me. Could anyone give me better insite?

Until then, I hate grenades.

EDIT: I am sorry I screwed up the quote. Hope y'all get the idea.

Great advice Captain Green Gene. See his post, it really works. I shortened it, I totally agree with every bit. Well written, excellent tips.

I LOVE GRENADES.

1) I liked the quest even more before they changed it more challenging the better.

2) Paid for most of my War Frigates this way.

3) Determination is one of my favorite passive skills. My cannon rocks due to demolitions.

I will be the first to admit they can take time to level after level 20, but if you keep them out ahead of other weapons by about 5 levels it is not bad.

Sorry to those who like them, but i despise nades, for all of the reasons mentioned.

I also find them noisy and messy, which aggravates my natural "antsy-ness", so they are practically useless to me.

The very last thing i will level is nades.
