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.

We've used that Warlord a lot, too. He's not far from Devils Anvil (which makes it easy to dump cargo and go back after him) in the direction of Kingshead and Cutthroat.

It's a great target for good exp, and there aren't MANY other ships around, but there are a few others out there that can get too close if you aren't positioned right.

When my cannon skill still very low i prefer EITC Corvette they are easier
than Warlords and also give 100 rep (110 rep if you're in a crew)
Their spawn position is southeast of Tortuga.
But as our skill get higher Corvette give less rep so better
move to Marauder or Warlords.
