Nice post Basil, I might not be in DW, but I still like the useful tips. Such as for the gold... I completely forgot about that if I do the quest, I better find some way to use it before its released.

One thing about this that nobody is understanding is that YES you can get to lvl 50 with these weapon upgrades!!!!
Pirates on test are almost mastered and are lvl 47-48...

Ex: So I master my doll to lvl 30. I still use my doll in tormenta to kill things and still get REP!!!!!
This REP is ususally for Notoriety and weapon!!!!
This time its just that rep for Notoriety....
So I can still kill things if im fully mastered and get rep.
Yes, it is possible to get to level 50, by exploiting a bug. Disney did NOT intend for it to be like this in my opinion.. if that were the case, it would of been like that prior to this update.

If you're just using the same weapon over and over... you should NOT be earning rep towards anything (once that weapon is mastered, before mastering is another story). Quite a few people on Test are using this to "become the first level 50" rather than reporting it as a bug. While others are playing fairly and leveling the hard way. I have a friend on Test who has mastered everything except for grenades, and she is level 45 (without using a mastered weapon to get notoriety).

And as Basil said... whats the point of people leveling up this way? If someone levels like this, they are gonna be in the same position as they were last year... bored, waiting for new content.. and it will only be their own fault. Plus, people that are doing this, as I said.. are aiming to be the first level 50. In my opinion.. if you hit level 50 through exploiting a bug in the game, I wouldn't consider you to be a real level 50, over someone who spent time leveling every weapon the way they were intended to.
