Can you even get to 50?

I don't think you'll have to wait too long - as the main reason for finally Raising the cap is to relase a major storyline soon after (hence - if they released the major storyline before the cap - none of the new Rep from the quest would count - and that would be bad )

The new quest from the other threads already floating around and from the conversations with the new NPCs suggest the next sotryline based around Rotts Guild and his possible connection to Jolly Roger - it may not contain new islands or a kraken - but I think it will be a major story quest (and as a bonus - you can even do his mini-quests meantime).

It's really too bad, though, that they haven't released any new islands. I'm sure even one more new island could mean an intertaining second story quest. As of right now I'm a bit worried that we'll have to go back, fight lower level enemies, and possibly go to the exact same places we went to during the BP Quest.

Though there are no new islands - they did increase REP earned from a target (115 REP for land based, 150 REP for Ships the last I've been able to confirm) so getting from 40 to 50 will at least be a tad bit easier

150 rep for ships? Finally, that will help level those pesky cannons nicely.

Get to 50??? I don't even have my staff or sailing mastered! Doh! Guess that tends to happen when you don't play for months haha.

I'll have to try cannons next - as I only tested Broadsides. I had run out of ammo and had to get one more Centurion for one of Rott' quests, the ship didn't look pretty coming back in but I got him

I would like to re-confirm the 150 though only because it was wierd that I got that number when everything on land appears to be at 115 (without bonus of course).

It will probably be just how things were before the new additions were made. The Black Pearl quest usually brought you up to atleast Lv27 - 28 and the rest you went on by random quests and leveling weapons. If the weapons rep does not meet the Lv50 requirements, they probably have random quests that you could do to reach it.

I have been testing, and was only able to get +115 max when sailing. And the same when using cannon.

Dont know if anyone posted this, But you need 6800 rep to get from 29-30 in weapon levels, or around 6800

Using that information from SWII to verify the pattern, and a chart I had on weapons reps, I came up with this chart I believe is correct.

It can be seen here in the "The Helm" (test forum).

Ouch, well... hopefully visiting Tormenta a bit will change my attitude towards this amount.

Hey, can anyone with level 25 grenades on test tell us the amount of rep you get per enemy in tormenta or for enemies level 45+?(i've never been one to take the time to level up my test pirate, as he's still level 13 after two years)

I'm guessing its 115 still, thats what my friends got with different weapons, nades should be no different.

At max reps (not counting crew bonuses) it will take 270 wins rewarding +115 reps each to go from level 25 to level 30 on a single weapon.

That's almost exactly right. Now... all I need to do is get up at 6:00 A.M. on a saturday morning and stay up all night to master grenades. Must. Master. Grenades. First.

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.

Hmm, I still got a little secret weapon if thats the case, its not a glitch, more like a little loophole in the game

Not sure if this one is out yet or not:

Notoriety Rep needed to level:

41 - 42,600 *
42 - 44,900 *
43 - 47,300 *
44 - 49,700 *
45 - 52,200 *
46 - 54,800 *
47 - 57,500 *
48 - 60,200 *
49 - 63,000 *
50 - 65,900 *


"*" means it has been confirmed by screenie. "?" is calculated based on the other levels.

That means 538,100 rep to get from level 40 to level 50.

Updated per Swash and CGG input. List should be accurate now, no guesswork.
