Mastered All Weapons (Moved)

[Basil Dreadflint]

To paraphrase the other thread.

I stopped doing ANY Pearl Quest right when I met Gibbs the first time. I had to meet Jack, cause other quests make you do so.
I did all the side quests, Teleport, Tats, Jewelry, Weapons, Clothing, Skeleton infestation, as soon as they opened up. I DID NOT do the SvS quests at all. (I don't SvS)
I had a minimum of help. Crews for bonus, Healers for the hardest stuff, but I did as much as I could without help. (Like Nades quest, did that totally solo.)

If you add up all the scores for the weapons and skills, you get 56,600 per weapon. Counting Sail and Cannon, that's 8, times the total = 452, 800. Adding all the notoriety levels gets you 540,150. Subtracting the weapons from the notoriety, leaves 89,350.
If you earned nothing but rep for the skills, it would leave you 89,350 short of level 40. It isn't possible to master the weapons without earning some gratis rep, but if you could, it would bring you to high level 37 Notoriety. With the rep you get from the NPC's, you get to high 38 or low 39, depending.

I got enough from bonus and treasure drops, that I actually hit level 40 Notoriety before I fully Mastered all weapons. And there was one double rep weekend event while I did it. (Some were mastered, some were high level 24.)

Now I know at least one other person who has tried to do this, and she did NOT get to level 40 when she mastered all weapons. Mid 39 is where she stopped. She didn't kill near as many enemies as I did, more than 3K less, so she fell short. Figure that you get an extra 25 rep from every 15 or so enemies you defeat, and it does add up.
