Of Pirates, Plunder and Notoriety

[mlratto]

i'm almost in the same boat (no pun intended) as mr charisma. I'm lvl 38 and close to mastering everything but grenades. Currently my gernades are at lvl 12 because i find tossing them terribly boring. The thought of not getting to really use my other weapons for rep and spending god knows how many hours trying to master gernades is discouraging. The only light at the end of the tunnel might be when i get the siege charge...but i'm sure the novelty of that will wear off soon.

as far a a second pirate goes...well, i'm not even going to think about starting one until my big pirate is fully mastered...if i even get there!

I may misunderstand what your saying here, but perhaps the following will help.

I know I myself was concerned at what time, that I would hit level 40, and be stuck with weapons as they stood.

However I learned, that when you reach level 40 notoriety, you only stop receiving notoriety points/reps, but continue to receive weapons points/reps for any weapon you have not achieved level 25 with (ie mastered). You will be able to fully master your pirate, all weapons even after achieving level 40 notoriety.

Observe my sig graphic, my "Zeppers" pirate is FULLY mastered
