Honorable Pirate
I usually play on my main pirate which everything is maxed months before this, but I have two alts one that uses just sword and is around level 30-35 finished RC with roughly level 11 potions. The other alt is roughly level 25 and uses only gun (trying for Bayonet's or latter Becketts/Mercers), and had like level 14 potions. All three are male and I hate playing between levels 10 and 30, especially when doing quests like kill 20 alligators and it takes a considerable amount of time to do and because of that only my main has done all the quests. This potions glitch allowed me to finally make the female alt and level to the 30s which allows even a level 1 sword to actually contribute and make the game play at a faster pace. It also unlocks all the quests at once which allows someone doing a second playthrough to double count quests at the same time (ie. sink 5 revenants for two different quests). After potionsing until level 35 I begun questing. I get the Vile Staff for RC and level a little more because it requires 4 potions, but also I've leveled to 20 sword and around 8 for gun and doll. Soon (have to turn in the quests) I'll have unlocked staff, dagger and grenade as well. It's nice to immediately be able to get the unlocked at higher level clothing items as well like brights and dark black. It's like a turbo playthrough that has no impact on anyone else's experience. I enjoyed this "oops" xp thing, but leveling the lower ranked alts could be a mistake for some (and why baby Jacques is still in the twenties) because leveling just to level reduces the tag color of enemies making looking for specific weapons (dragoons bayonet for example, potentially Hex looking for the legendary doll [hex is green and yellow tag at his lower levels when you are maxed]) harder.
