I masterd grenades on my second pirate and decided on it to skip a lot of the grenades. I only have the basic explosives, flame bomb and seige charge. Then placed skill points on only these grenades and the passive points. I know you rep higher with smoke bombs but It takes more of them to kill one stump then the rest of the grenades. So in the same amount of time you can kill a few stumps with the other grenades and still rep fast. Also if you are one of those people that hate grenades or do not plan on really using them then I would put more points on the passive skills then on the grenades themselves.

Yeah, grenades are all about the passives for me.

That, and the 8 HP per grenade level you get.

Thumbs up

Thank you! I've been having a heck of a time leveling my grenades, and this will help a lot.

Grenades are all about money: when they were easy to level up, I loved them more than my son (sorry Tommy!). Nowadays, they're slower, and less fun: I don't bother with Kingshead, and just go to Cutthroat. They're, like mentioned above, I go to get Gyps and Diers. Kingshead got tiresome at 24 noto, level 17 nades.

I just put one point in each of the nades with my test. My test is to have two points in each skill ya know, so there are a bunch of excess ones.

Once they turned grey, then it's not really worth it to stay in Kingshead. I got to level 22 before that happened.

I've had good luck on PDF beach, especially when two gypsies stop right next to each other. Drain both, then grenade them for a two-fer.

Not sure why, but I am sure I never reached nearly that high a level in King's. Seems like it was like level 14, maybe up to 17 before they were grey.

The next phase I did was Gypsies, while working a little in pistol as well with hex shot each time. This gave points enough to add to take aim and sharp shooter to start working on Molusk.

Yup, back side of Padres is good for two Gypsies. While taking out Urchinfist and seebeards would set up getting two molusk at the same time. Though now you can hold more, don't count out smoke bomb, even last few 3 hits or so to kill something.

When they greyed out, my overall rep was still only 23.

I did NOTHING but grenades from the time I got the quest. I even got my wife to sink all the ships and kill the officers guarding the crates/barrels to keep my rep down.

I think that the new French and Spanish enemies have given a potential solution to your problem. Just go to Cutthroat or Cangrejos, and see if the new undeads are any good eats.

This is a great guide, I've been using it and after a few long sessions I leveled up to 13. I agree that you have to change servers, there are some real pests around when you are working on leveling with this weapon. Helping each other out if you find someone who will cooperate helps a lot, if not and they are low level free players I usually let them get killed off if one of the the Vets hops the fence (I'm evil that way).

I noticed that if you hit the soldiers that walk back and forth along the path that they sometimes will jump the fence. I think it has to do with having too many mobs in one spot. Stick to the veterans/officer from the parade ground itself.

Very nice guide, except that grenades aren't exactly my favorite weapon... meh. If I saw this at lvl 20 tho I would have used it.
