I have messed up Am, any suggestions?

[Ameila]

Alright, so I have completely messed up Amiela's weapons.
With a mastered doll, a level 17 cutlass, lvl 9 gun, lvl 7 nades, level 8 dagger, and a level away from getting the staff, im basically done for.
Are there any suggestions to level up my low weapons?

Oh and PS: Im STILL having issues going into jungles, swamps, caves, ect.
Im gonna try to contact POTCO again and get the problem fixed. I can't even get my new player, Beau Feroce, past level one because I cannot go into Kings Run for Tia Dalma.

Thanks.

As long as they're within about 5/6 levels of eachother, you shouldn't be too bad. You can easily catch up those few.

As for your issues Ameila.
Stop using your doll lol. & leave your cutlass for a bit too.
This calls for desperate measures, if I were you I'd find a quiet server, make your way to Kingshead, glitch, & try levelling up your Grenades on the football team (the 6/7 veterans out on the 'field in front of the fort), change the view using the right mouse button to looking down, & throw the Nades at your feet, not only will you get lotsa rep. but you'll get a lot of gold too. Also work on your dagger on assassins, mercenaries & high level officers at Kingshead, & because you're glitched, you can't be killed.
As for the pistol, why not take that to El Suduron or Padres Beach, take on a few of the gypsies, raiders, grenadiers, just shoot everything & anything.
If you can't get there, try Perdida, Cangrejos or Cutthroat, or if you want a challenge, take a friend & a whole lot of tonics & head to Tormenta

It will take a long time, but you can recover the situation if you work hard at getting these weapons levelled up, & don't use your doll, cutlass, or voodoo staff (when you get it) for a while, until you have your other weapons at sensible levels.

I had issues with my dagger & pistol, but I've sort of recovered, all of my weapons are at similar levels now.
Good luck

I would go to tortuga in the cave you can find a giant crab, huge alligator, a few big alligators. Use lead shot and build up your pistol with a lot of shots.

After getting pistol built up, with hex shot, aim, accuracy, you can start using that on gypsies, brinescum, molusk, to build other weapons in the same way, a lot of little hits.

If you are using xp, go into display and turn down you acceleration, and write combining off, most times I have seen that fix the problems in going into jungles etc.

Mmm I don't understand how you can mess up?? I'm lvl 35, my dagger is lvl 10, nade's are 1...I'm THANKFUL that I still have weapons that give me 100+rep each kill...all my other weapons give me like 20pts max now, if I'm lucky =( On, average, I get like 4pts each kill using my lvl 19 & higher weapons, it's so sad. I mean esp, when as high lvl as I am, almost everything is green lvled to me (or worse, grey!), but once I switch to my lower weapons, they are red-leveled to me, so 100+rep each kill is what I get. It's all about knowing how to lvl correctly to be able to get 100+rep each kill. You're probably using ur most powerful form of attack, so they die too fast. You get tons of rep depending on the # of times u hit it...

Edit: Definitely take a look at this: http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/f...ead.php?t=6926 since u seem to be having trouble with getting a lot of rep for each kill. And this one too: http://www.freewebs.com/longshotxx/potco/potco.htm look under "Max Rep"

Actually, you cant.

What you can do, is make it 'harder' to level the other weapons, but really only marginally. Notoriety is one factor that effects how much damage your attacks do, and therefore can effect the number of reps you frequently rewarded, however the weapon level itself plays actually a larger role. So low level weapons should still be able to get decent rep rewards comparably to if they had been done by the pirate at lower levels of notoriety.

A pirate concentrating on only 1 or 2 weapons, doesnt really mess themselves up, they just use the easier 'lower notoriety' reps on two weapons.

In reality it all evens out if you intend on fully mastering your pirate, and other than making one weapon harder to level than another was, it ends up making no difference when you look at the big picture.

And studying the documents you referenced could help pirates get the most reps out of thier battles.

Ok, whew, good...for a second there, I was like "ummm oh noes, what if I messed up, but I don't think I did, but now idk, yikes" lol. I mean I have friends that have about the same lvls for all their weapons, like lvl 20 for all of them, the most they get now is like 10-15 rep each kill, nothing like 100 rep that I'm getting.

The only thing I think you can really mess up is where you put your skill points, and that will vary by pirate preference all the time.

OK, I have to disagree, slightly. If you level up grenades LAST, you have indeed messed up. When you are lvl 40 trying to master grenades in Tormenta Cave, getting five points for each Molusk or Urchinfist killed (well, sometimes three or one or zero) you'll see that ANY other weapon would have been better to finish with. I know I didn't learn about the Kingshead invincible glitch until after I was fully mastered, but those assassins only go up to lvl 35, so they wouldn't help you anyhow. (One point each, only sometimes? Bah.)

If you plan on driving any boss battles, having rank five TOUGHNESS on grenades is pretty important. So, really, if you make an effort to master any weapon first, it should be grenades. But if you wait to master them LAST, it is positively a mistake.

[Poison elf]

If you are only getting 5 points rep in grenades in Tormenta, you are doing something wrong. Using wrong grenades, put points in grenades, or damage or something. The only trouble with grenades, is using smoke bombs, using these get rep. Only having 40, means a lot of trips.

To counter this some, you line up two or three Molusk at once, so when you use the smoke grenades, you are hitting 2/3 critters each time. Having a crew adds to this, and also gives you a means to get ammo and pop back.

Really is it only 5 or less points? You must be using wrong 'nades or something, I just watched my lvl 40 friend lvl & master his last weapon, 'nades while healing him. At first he was just using whatever, he was getting hardly any rep, then after we looked at the rep chart, and came up with some formula of 'nades to use & he was getting 40-55 rep each kill.

And I steer for almost every bb that I've been on, I win almost all of them in the green zone, and my toughness is... ummm... hahaha 0, no points in it lol.

What is this "rep chart" you speak of?

I am sure I did quite a bit wrong, mastering grenades. I managed to throw one "at my own feet" within the last five minutes before fully mastering them. No worries - they are a useless weapon in practice. The point is that the passive skills are the only likely benefit you will get from them.

I steer most bb that I go on - but I'm polite about it and never fight over the wheel or get pushy about it. I've had my share of bb in green, but usually an outside factor (like a noob stealing the wheel DURING the officers) will sway things quite a bit. Let me ask you: when did you learn to sail your boss battle? Prior to April when they changed it? Surely you've noticed the difference by now, right? And yet, there are still people who grab the wheel, even the day before yesterday, who try to run the middle bridges. Maybe in February/March, you could still do that...not now. But to learn how to sail it, now after that change this spring - yes, toughness is needed.

I will say though, that toughness was absolutely essential, when I did my boss battle alone. Doing a boss battle alone is much, much trickier and harder than doing it with two people. Toughness was one of the things that made the difference.

Anyhow, I'm glad to hear there are other good drivers out there. I am happy for you; I hope you get your method perfected even more.

Go here: http://www.freewebs.com/longshotxx/potco/potco.htm & look under Rep Points Per Hit & Max Rep. That's what I used. Recently there was this posted a few days ago which has been quite awesome as well: http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/f...ead.php?t=6926
Using a variety of different ways, my record so far of most rep was 319pts off a mollusk, wish I had not mastered doll yet, or else I would be getting 419ish instead.

Actually, I have not done my boss battle yet. Haha, I'm at 99% of the quest, but I'm saving it until I can win with less than 10% damage. My record is far is 14% damage, thought I was gonna break my record yesterday, but my crew wasn't able to take out the last bridge's right fort fast enough so we ended up with 19% damage =( Honestly I think it would have been only about 10% damage, but that fort hit us like 2 or 3x.

I didn't start sailing for bb, until right after they changed it, around May. Back then & still now, I have seen people who try to convince everyone that fullsail/ramming speed thru all the bridges would make it an easy win, and they are totally speechless when we sink, "no duh!", I'm thinking about logging out when whoever that grabs the wheel has no idea what they are doing coz there is no point in arguing with how silly they are.

Regardless, it is not impossible to fullsail/ram speed thru it... I was pretty surprised recently, the guy who had the treasure map, he sailed it thru with fullsail/ram speed, (with everyone in crew saying "OMG what are you doing", etc), and we somehow miraculously survived with only about 50ish% damage lol. Prior to sending the invite he had said that he's been able to get to the end to meet Goliath but he always sunk coz he'd do the battle himself without a crew to help shoot at Goliath.

And if you have not noticed, the forts barely do any damage now after they updated it the same day they added privateering. My old record was 30% damage before the update a few days ago, one of the first ones I did right after the update, was the one I got 14% with. Not sure what they did, either they made the Black Pearl have stronger armor, or the forts are doing less damage.

[Poison elf]

Bit off topic, but did do it solo the bb. It required most stats to be set up for that directly. Soon as they announced svs, I decided to work up another pirate, and ended up still waiting for it to come out after maxing that one out. Damage from canon, ramming speed, take cover etc, all was things to take for svs anyways. The way of ramming and full sail I have done that method as well, with take cover. If ya have a good crew you can take out the forts as you whiz by them.

Think I have another character somewhere that may be able to do the bb soon, have to check it out again if they changed it.
