Bounty/Hunt Cap
There seems to be a limit in how "weak" your character must be in order to receive the bounty. I was able to gather Sunspear points up to Captain rank before I leveled to 8. As level 8, the Sunspears wouldn't let me have these Hunt bonuses anymore. There are probably other level caps in other areas too. I have yet to find out if there's a rank limit for these NPCs... but sadly I have to move to another area to test that out. Would this open the possibility that we can farm these promotional points indefinitely if we were to stay below their level cap? &mdash; Sixshot 05:38, 4 November 2006 (CST)

It would seem to me that all priests and scouts have a rank cap at Sunspear Castellan currently, ruling this strategy out for getting the Sunspear Spearmarshal rank. I'm working on checking to see if this is the case by using the plant hunt bonus to hunt only lvl 1 plants. This way I should be able to stay below lvl eight and still get the hunt bonus. &mdash; Leif Syverson 17:39, 27 November 2006 (CST)

You should do as Guildwiki suggests, right before getting 7,500 Points you should find an area where you can use a wurm and attack a group with healers, such as Awakened Cavaliers and Awakened Acolytes. And then repeat the process WITHOUT killing the healers. So you can keep it up til you got 15,000 Points, which will take some time. I'm going to do that, when i'm sure I got enough time and the connection to be stable :) &mdash; Elderon 18:06, 27 November 2006 (CST)

My question is more along the lines of this: Talk:Rising_in_the_Ranks:_Sunspear_Master_Sergeant &mdash; Leif Syverson 20:44, 27 November 2006 (CST)

I have done all the quests that would keep me away from the other explorable areas. I never took a title of sunspear-rank in the Great Hall. After I reached level 8 only the skale hunt was left for me to use. After reaching the 1,000 cap by hunting skales I couldn't take any hunt anymore. I think that should be closing the topic for this area. After level 8 onle skales are left and after 1,000 points nothing is left. Michael57 10:00, 28 November 2006 (CST)

I verified what Michael57 said about the 1000 point cap for the scouts in the Plains of Jarin and updated the note at the end of the page to reflect this. &mdash;Leif Syverson 13:15, 28 November 2006 (CST)

The cap of 1,000 points is valid for all of Istan. I added a comment on that here Talk:Rising_in_the_Ranks:_Sunspear_Master_Sergeant Michael57 14:08, 28 November 2006 (CST)

Corsairs
I think the corsairs are only there while the quests 'Suwash the Pirate', 'A Hidden Thread' or 'Proof of Courage' are open. As the quests are overlapping in area ('Suwash the Pirate', 'Proof of Courage'), I do not know which corsairs belong to each quest. There are no corsairs in the area, when the quests are done. In order to check the numbers only 'Proof of Courage' is needed. All corsairs with this quest belong to it, all other vorsairs and not attributed to 'A Hidden Threat', belong to 'Suwash the Pirate'. I will do it next time, I start a new Character, but maybe someone is faster than me. Michael57 10:00, 28 November 2006 (CST)
 * Some of the Corsairs (I believe only recruits) are in the Plains of Jarin (not the same location as the others) during armored transport, and then only after talking to Dengo. I have a paragon that is behind my dervish and i think i can try to take a look at which corsairs belong to which quest with that character. I'll also double check which corsairs belong to armored transport as well. &mdash; Leif Syverson 10:48, 28 November 2006 (CST)


 * So far I've encountered lvl 0 spotters, lvl 1 healers, lvl 1 buccaneers, lvl3 wizards, and lvl 4 blackhands, a lvl 4 commandant, and a lvl 7 bosun for suwash the pirate. Leif Syverson 15:12, 28 November 2006 (CST)
