A Theory

[James]

Well, I've decided to try this. I have been using Darkhart. Currently, I'm level 7 with 9 rare. However, 4 are the tempered cutlass, and 5 are the tempered sabre, which is also weird. Anyway, it seems to be working. I plan on getting grenades and staff since there are no grenade drops and staffs drop very rarely, so they shouldn't be a problem. Have to keep full tonics and ammo though. Also, I won't be getting the unlockable treasures, only the default ones.

IT WORKS!
I was on my pirate "shockwave" with lv 26 sword and 17 dagger and I have a famed bruisers cutlass, an famed charm, and a famed doll. Also I have 2 bright orange shirts, one lavender shirt, and bright orange pants. All before lvl 30!! Thank you!

No problem, glad this helped you. I just got another rare, this time an engraved cutlass. I don't think you can get famed before level 10 but I may be wrong.

[Nack]

It seems right because with Foulberto, he only gives knives and I manage to get the most famed weapons out of him, being that theres only a few different weapons he can actually drop, so this must be correct.

Since I posted this, I've received over 60 rare swords and 3 famed on my level 17 who stays at Dark Hart on Abassa. Also have a famed sea charm so it seems to be working.

I've been experimenting as well and I'll soon be going to Darkhart now, so I'll see if I can get as lucky as you.

I got the El Patron Sword from Darkhart AND out of a loot pouch... going for World Eater next, I'll try that.

Here is a strange story regarding this:
I was playing on my pirate that is following this theory,
I was doing a clothing quest, which required me to go see Barbossa, and me not thinking, walked right on in. However, I got a runtime error just as I got in. So I logged off and back on. I went to go to Dark Hart with my friend, and the first pouch I got, was a pistol. I thought I had messed up my pirate, so I trashed the gun, checked my stats and yep, I had pistol training. However, I checked my quests journal, and it said I never did the quest. Strange, but ever since I trashed the pistol, all drops for pistol have stopped. Maybe you don't get anything better than a flinlock pistol if you don't level up your pistol? I don't know. So if anyone tries this and does what I did, just trash it and do not level it. The drops should stop for that weapon, if not it will be extremely rare to get the drop. I gotta give credit to the guy who thought up the theory, it really is a good idea, and good luck to everyone else who tries it.

EDIT: Ugh, now I am getting gun drops, but all crude.... hopefully I wont get too many? XD
