Reputation

As a pirate uses their skills, performs quests or defeats enemies, they earn experience or reputation points. These points increase the pirate's Notoriety.

Once the reputation reaches the maximum for that Notoriety level, the pirate's Notoriety increases and a new maximum is set.

The amount of reputation may be a set value, like completing part of a quest or an entire quest. But, reputation earned from defeating enemies or sinking ships is relative to the Skills of the pirate vs. the level of their enemy.
