Very Important Lessons (VIL's)

[Basil Dreadflint]

Hey Guildmates,

When I was leveling Basil, ( my first,) I used to post a very important lesson, VIL, in guild chat everyday. Sometimes they were REALLY good info, other times, they were just something I had learned or figured out that day, and sometimes they were just funny.

In all cases, they were just short, one or two sentence, lessons learned.

I'm starting this thread with the first VIL. Everyone is welcome to post their own VIL's here with me.

VIL of the day:

When you need a Marauder, you will find 10 Corvettes. When you need a Corvette, there isn't any in the entire ocean.

Corallary:
When you find the Marauder and sink it, your quest item will be, "NOT FOUND".

[John Edgefoote]

If you only have three points in "attune", don't use hex-eater on 4 gypsies. They dont like that.

[Chris]

Yea i think its called the Theory Of Chaos or something liek that when you need something its no where to be found but when you dont need it you can find it.

Sure, advice, where and how to's, whatever.
But short, no 3 page posts on how best to level nades, no dissertations on where to find every Witchdoctor in the Carribean. Just a sentence or two.

And, it doesn't have to be just advice, info, funny, etc., all welcome.

VIL for today:

A level 28 Mercenary can kill a level 14 pirate in a single stroke. No time for tonics!

[Swash]

A seabeard can kill 3 noobs at once .

[Dr. Zeppers]

The tonic button only works if you have a tonic. oof!

[mm1984]

Don't take on two big ships at once unless you have a clear path of escape handy.

[Sarah]

Never Ever go AFK with a pack of these guildies around you, esp. if you are anywhere near a bridge.

[Dr. Zeppers]

The more ships you sink before turning in your quest, the more ships will be requested for the next task.

[Edward Edgemenace]

Never open the chat window, while at the helm of a ship. Never EVAR open a whisper window, while steering a ship.

I would just like to say that I was not present during the time of said activity.

[Basil Dreadflint]

This one comes from Lars:

It takes 89 broadsides to sink a level 38 Colossus when you are driving a Light Sloop and your sailing level is only 5. You still only get 100 sailing rep. It's not worth it! Go after the appropriate level enemy. Find what is right for your current level, get max rep with minimum work.

Lesson for today -
Remember, just because you are comfortable in Tormenta now DOES NOT mean your baby pirate needs to go there, even if he does have hex-eater.
