How to lvl up weapons fast

[MacIronhawk]

Ok, it's much more clear now but...

Where did the 2 X 2 and 5 X 1 come from? I don't remember seeing any other skills talked about for the cutlass that were used yet these numbers come up. They were under the (1+2+2+4) x 4 = 36.

EDIT: Woops, now I understand everything. I've never been fast at math but once I get it I don't need to ask any more questions. After actually taking the time to look at the reputation charts I get it now. I probably should have taken the time to sit down and read it a couple of times before posting.

I think I'm going to go fight an enemy with my second pirate to make sure I'm getting everything right.
