Very Important Lessons (VIL's)

[Basil Dreadflint]

Be careful of how much "help" you request, or recieve, when doing any quest! Having too much help can actually be detrimental!

Eplaination: I took 2 different pirates, both hit level 20 and were given the grenades quest. For both, I droppped everything, and did nothing but the grenades quests.
For one pirate, I had as much help as I could possibly get, full escort for the entirety of the quest, and did not have to defeat a single enemy while I searched the 50 different barrels and crates on KH, PDF or anwhere else. This pirate had grenades and was barely over level 20 notoriety.
For the second pirate, I did the entire quest solo. For every crate or barrel to be searched, I had to defeat one, or sometimes two enemies. It took significantly longer to get the grenades, and a few trips to jail, but this pirate was level 21 before having nades as a weapon. A full level difference, and cutlass, doll and daggers were alll quite a bit higher by the end of the quest.

It depends on what goal you are trying to achieve!
