How does one unlock serendipity? I went to the auction the other day to get some with a skill implant but found that I couldn't do it. Was told that I don't have that skill...
According to my mentor Burger and please correct me if I'm wrong, you have to reach a certain level of skill in all areas or a certain number of areas and then you'll unlock serendipity. I'm not sure where your skill level has to be in order to reach it but I hope this helped.
Yanick is correct, Serendipity is one of the hidden skills that you unlock, based upon your various other skill levels. As you found when looking at implants, you cannot implant a skill until it is unlocked. After you have unlocked it, then you would be able to implant extra serendipity skill levels. A good reference for skills is at http://www.pe-wiki.info/Chart.aspx?chart=Skill There it says serendipity unlocks at " Level 30 in any profession it contributes to ". Other clues that you are close to unlocking it, is if you check the stats details ingame on a non-SIB weapon in your field of hunting. For example if you mainly use laser rifle, have a look in your inventory, or in the auction, at your stats for a Justifier Mk2. When your HA Hit Ability is at 3.0 you are almost there. When your professional standing shows as GREAT ( laser sniper, laser pistoleer etc ) then it should unlock Serendipity. :ok:
Arrr - right, so that's it. Thanks all, sorry for late reply. It sounds like something to do with a musical recital to me but I've heard it mentioned here and there and that serendipity is helpful for getting more globals which is why I wanted to buy some. I only do hunting and mining, not very high skills yet, so no idea how long I'll wait to unlock serendipity. [ But then I looked at the skills chart mentioned and discovered that I need level 30 in any skill it contributes to to unlock it ]. Hunting Skills: Aim 3184; Combat Ref' 1568; Handgun 3685; IRD 2134; LB 1931 Marksmanship 3799; RDA 2564; Rifle 3309; Weap' Hand' 2465 General Skills: Courage 1477; Dexterity 1478; Perception 1869 Defense: Evade 1267 Medical: Anatomy 3620 Mining: Geology 1038; Mining 1981 Reason for silly skills list is I'm wondering what to get more of...
Wow, that was fast, considering you joined about the same time I did. On the other hand I have been skilling very slowly :) Have you chipped up? Gratz! To you too, nexus7 ;) EDIT: Or was it sarcasm MOH? Your "lol" made me uncertain now :)
