This is sort of a just for fun thread, but from what I've played in TLOPO so far, I believe it is more than possible for someone to get the first famed weapon in the history of TLOPO. At first, I thought it was impossible as you have to be somewhat near a weapon's requirement level in order to loot it. For example, the Bejeweled Cutlass, one of the weaker famed weapons in the game, is usable with a level 15 sword skill. However, from what I've seen, you can get it as early as level 8 or 9. Requirements like this make it impossible for pirates with a level 1 sword skill to randomly stumble upon the Lost Sword only for it to be unusable until level 30.
With the addition of rage ghosts, it actually is possible to boost weapon skill levels. For example, just by attacking one rage ghost with critical health, I got my sword from level 1 to 3. Repeat this, and you could get a sword level high enough to get a famed weapon from fishing. I know that this is the end of semi-open alpha, but those with a key could try to pioneer an age of looting for blue letters once again. And yes, the Bejeweled Cutlass can be found from fishing, as my own game experience proved.
