Can you even get to 50?

[Basil Dreadflint]

Based on Zeps chart for the weapons levels, (which I agree with), Taking all weapons from level 25 to level 30 you will earn 248,000 rep. This is strictly the rep on the weapons and skills.

It will no way cover all that we will need to get from Noto level 40 to level 50. That is going to require a minimum of 428,000. Leaving us approximately 180,000rep, or more, short.

So, there is going to HAVE TO BE new quest(s) to make up the difference. The Casa Muertos Guild quests are only a drop in the bucket. They won't even begin to scratch the surface of what is going to be needed. I wouldn't be the least surprised if people who hurry are maxed weapons (level 30) and have notoriety at around level 46/47. Then they will have to wait for the next story chapter and some new weapons quests to go beyond that point.

Also, I would be curious to see if it will make a difference if you hurry and level the weapons before the quest(s) are released, or would you be better off waiting til the new quests come out?

Zep states that you would need MAX rep on every kill, for 270 kills per weapon to go from level 25 to level 30. But, the higher in rep you are, the less rep per kill of comparable enemies. I would estimate that the number of kills required to get from 25 to 30 is going to be more in the area of 500 or more, per weapon.

I plan to take my time and work all my pirates, rather than to rush just one through. A little on each, then switch to the next.

Whatever! The new levels are going to be interesting to achieve.
