Reaper's Bones Reputation

    Am I the only one who finds the Reaper's Bones faction kinda difficult to level?

    I mean, I'm not new, I've maxed out my other factions to 75 pretty smoothly as the time went by, I've never really paid too much attention to my Reaper lvl progress, until this double rep/money weekend.

    For example, I've made about 2,2M in Reaper Emissary of which about 700k was stolen loot from other players. The problem is: I've got hardly 5 levels from 54 to 59. and that was during the double reputation.

    I'm not salty or anything, maybe just a bit surprised, If you compare current leveling of Reaper's Bones with it's update launch, when it was virtually possible to hit level 75 in one day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM2wmvrKITc ... the nerf is kinda ridiculous.

    Can someone explain to me why exactly was the Reaper's Bones rep made so difficult after it got patched, or am I just missing something?

    It a difficult Faction. Much like reaching 20 on Athena.
    Why complain? It makes more sense to have a slower and paced build up to keep you coming back or play longer.

    Why want to grind everything so quickly, only to have nothing else to do? (besides commendations)

    @mystic-nefro Don't feel bad. I've been stuck at 53 seemingly forever. Everything I turn in that isn't a flag barely moves the XP - and I think that's the crux. You have to get flags to level anywhere remotely quick, but the moment they see you on the table, their flags come down.

    @burnbacon The Reapers Bone Emissary is supposed to be a "Feared" faction, they should've made it so you could ONLY level up by selling Stolen loot. (Would've made the grind A LOT longer to 75 but at least whenever you'd see one you would be afraid. Get used to grinding in SoT or you won't enjoy it. I hope some of this helped.

    @mystic-nefro If anything, I think the rate at which you level in your rep is fine right now! A suggestion I can make is right when you hit emissary level 5, turn in all the loot you have at the moment and then turn in your flag for the extra money and rep boost before raising it again and loot hauling. I've noticed it helped boost my levels much more, and I was able to make reapers 56 in no time! Also you might know all this, but just in case, skeleton fleets and flameheart fleet will boost your reaper emissary level from 1 to 4 or even 5 really fast! It's perfect for if you don't have a very active PvP server, and more of a PvE one.

    @barqy Exactly! I personally am not a big fan of PvP, but right now reapers don't have the reputation they were supposed to. They are not feared by other players. I would say that you could only sell stolen loot and that you also gained rep by sinking other ships. That would trully make it a PvP faction, since only PvPers would fly the RB flag

    I would suggest creating yourself a alliance server, I made 6.7 million gold Friday, level 60 reapers from level 30. And emissary value at 4.5 million. Full server Alliance, everyone doing reapers.

    @burnbacon I'm not complaining mate, as I mentioned in the text, I'm primarily surprised how difficult this reputation is compared to other factions. :)

    i maxed reapers but i hated that fraction,when i play sot i play it just for sailing around doin voyages and let pvp happen. that the reapers bones playtyle: jumping server,or reach grade 5 and see there is just one more emissary on the server in the devils roar and yourself are in the shores of plenty....so i just startet farming reapers chests what is boring as well,
