Highest non-member Pirate?

[lostmymarbles]

Yes they do. Refer to my previous post about someone I guilded back in Jan or Feb of 2008. She didn't become unlimited until summer of 2008. By then she had made it to level 24.

Actually, basic members can still get rep from treasures.

I tested it on my basic account today (one I used to use for linking so me and another family member could both play at the same time).

Here is the info: I took my Level 6 toon to Anvil.

My rep prior to killing a small crab was 915. My pistol level was 55.

After killing the crab...I received 9 pts notoriety/weapons pts. I also got a Treasure drop worth 25 gold.

My rep after the killing was 949 (915 + 9 + 25 = 949). My pistol was 64 (55 + 9).

So you really can keep on receiving notoriety rep from treasure drops.

Hope this clears up how someone can keep on increasing in notoriety even tho they are basic members.

After those weapons are grey "mastered" at 7 ,or higher if u previously had unlimited, then no u cant get treasures. You can if your weapons are lower than 7.

Okay..make what you will of this.

I did some more testing of my Basic Pirate. Her Cutlass was primed to be mastered under the limits of a basic account.

I noticed while looking over my pics, that I was getting Rep when I defeated the enemy but then a message would show up to indicate that the points were taken away. It appears as ( - # basic access). *number varies due to rep points earned

I ruled out earning points off of gold drops, because the numbers just didn't fit.

I used only my cutlass for all my attacks.


Mastered Cutlass Level 7

Mastering my cutlass put my notoriety at Level 6 -- 1267/1300



Treasure Drop: Turquoise Bangle




Notoriety Increase to Level 7!

Treasure Drop: Compass




Treasure Drop: Onyx Pendant -- with 25 Note bonus
See in upper left corner




Treasure Drop: Protection Charm -- with 25 point Note bonus




I forgot to get starting shots of my Treasure Chests before I started in, but you can see that I have gained treasure from the drops even tho' I have a mastered cutlass.

Valuables in my Treasure Chest: 7



Valuables after Treasure Drops: 8




Odds and Ends: 3




Odds and Ends after Treasure Drops: 4



Begining Notoriety: 1267/1300

Ending Notoriety: 67/1600

Gained 100 pts of notoriety since Mastering the Cutlass

I initially thought points might be given by value of the treasure, but it looks as tho' you receive 25 points of notoriety for every treasure drop regardless of value.

I might need to test this more to see if you get 25 pts on even a rare treasure drop, but in anycase you do receive Notoriety points off of treasure drops. If anyone wonders if all this information is current and up to date...look in the lower right hand corner. Each shot is date and time stamped.

When leveling, basic or not, you receive 25 points of rep for every treasure. No matter what treasure it is, rare, common, etc.

Also, you get treasure no matter the level of your weapon, it just depends on the area you do so. Some areas offer you greater opportunities at treasure, where as other areas offer you a lower rate of finding any.

The way the game is now, treasure and quest rep is the only way to level up once you fully master your pirates, making it possible to reach above level 50 (until they fix that, which I don't believe they have yet). Same rules apply, 25 points of rep per drop, meaning its better to kill weaker enemies.

On maria...who is lvl 46, when she was basic last week...i got treasures but no rep off of them..

[Sven Osymthe]

You probably did get the rep, but due to it being so small an amount, didn't really notice it
