More MATH

Yeah Edward,
56,600 per weapon. Counting Sail and Cannon, that's 8, times the total = 452, 800. Adding all the notoriety levels gets you 540,150. Subtracting the weapons from the notoriety, leaves 89,350.

Now for the mathematically challenged, (you know who you are) what this all means:

If you earned nothing but rep for the skills, it would leave you 89,350 short of level 40. It isn;t possible to master the weapons without earning dome gratis rep, but if you could, it would bring you to high level 37 Notoriety. Throwing in the rep you earn from visiting the NPC's just to get the weapons quests, and complete them, you reach low level 39 notoriety.

Throw in rep for the Jewelry, tattoo, and clothing quests, and the Skeleton infestation, and other small quests, you can reach level 40 notoriety without earning a single point from the Pearl quest!


It would be an intersting experiment! My littlest pirate, Lars, is now level 11, and has not visited Gibbs for the first time yet. The Pearl quest doesn't even show up in his journal. The problem here is that other quests make you visit Gibbs, and it will automatically assign the pearl quest, but I think I'm gonna try to get to level 40 Notoriety without ever recruiting even the first Pearl crew member!
