How far can I get on Basic Access?

[Dr. Zeppers]

Ok, everyone... heres what I understand to be the limitations level wise for basic accounts:

Notoriety level 12. The basic pirate stops accumulating "notoriety points" for normal questing/defeating of enemies via standard rep reward system.

Weapons level 7. The basic pirate stops accumulating "weapons points" for defeating of enemies via standard rep reward system. At this stage they also stop receiving notoriety points no the same weapon.

There are ways to exceed the notoriety level 12. Play as unlimited, and revert to basic, or continue to defeat enemies recieving th various treasures/rewards that a pirate picks up from them which continue to reward notoriety.
