Well

Well I started this thread weeks ago asking the question "can you even get to 50?"
What I have found is that you can get to 50 and with very little difficulty, all you need is time. Unfortunately for me I have been ill and home from work for weeks. All I had was time so this could not have been more easy. Here are some helpful tips to make the grind go faster.

1) Use your doll and heal everyone. Be nice and offer to heal anyone who is around. You can heal many players at once and while they are doing the hard work you can gain valuable reps healing them. Be sure to have tonics so that if you slip up you can revive them. You can also use your doll to heal yourself. Attack with any weapon and then switch to doll and use life drain then switch back to another weapon and continue. Since you get reps even when mastered its both practical in saving you tonics and gets you more reps then just using one weapon.

2) Battle the Bosses. They give some of the best reps and allow you to switch off weapons to get multiple weapons trained at the same time. For the boss stump on outcast take a friend and let them heal you for great reps. Its win win and you can get over 400 reps a stump there.

3) Choose quiet servers. Competing with other players for the best spots is a waste of time. Find a nice quiet spot and with a few guildmates you can bang out great reps with very nice crew reps to boot.

4) Sail with a small crew. Sailing takes time and so does cannons. Sail with players that understand to only use heavy ammo on the sails and to use light ammo on the ship to maximize the reps. All you need is one cowboy using fury on everything to ruin your reps every time.

5) Play at night. The game runs so much better in the late hours of the night. During the day its laggy and esp now when school gets out things slow down noticeably.

6) Find Game Flaws. At first this sounds like a cheat but hear me out. When you used to train your nades behind the fence at Kingshead you were taking advantage of a game flaw. There are many similar flaws that you can use to your advantage. Remember Darkhart is a raider and if you stand just far enough from him he will not attack you. You can stand right in the doorway of the gate to his left and you can nade, shoot and staff him to your hearts content. I have done that for hours with great success and absolute safety. You don't need to cheat to get to 50 all you need is time.
