For my last pirate, my Pearl quest was 4% until I was lvl 38 when my weapons were all at the end of 24 (except nades, those were mastered at lvl 25 notoriety)...that was when I went back to the Pearl quest. The only quests I did up until then was the jewelry, tattoos, teleportation, 2 of the 3 clothes quests and that was it. I didn't do the lvl 15 & lvl 20 weapons quests until I mastered them, the only weapon quest I did do was the lvl 15 tri-barrel one. About halfway thru the Pearl quest was when I hit lvl 40.

When you're lvl 40 & doing all these quests...everything is so easy, all the things u gotta kill & ships to sink is much easier done.

For my 1st pirate, which I FINALLY hit lvl 40 on Tuesday (after lots of procrastination & feeling like I could never get that pirate to 40), I had been at 99% of the Pearl quest ever since I was lvl 36....stopped it after realizing that getting the Tormenta key-1K rep, sinking Goliath-2K rep, receiving Leadership-2K rep was just too much rep when my weapons needed a lot of work. I was beginning to feel hopeless when my dagger was lvl 18 & lvl 20 enemies were GREY leveled to me as my 1st pirate =( but after lots of encouragement, I finally made it thru YAY, mastered nades a few minutes after hitting 40 too...
