Serendipity!

Shortly after getting Level 30 Laser Sniper (Hit), I got my 3rd unlock: Serendipity!

I guess it will be quite a while until there will be another unlock (next one, Coolness, comes at Level 40 Laser Sniper (Hit)), a guesstimate would be another 2 years until MA changes the skill system seriously or I decide to eat some chips (which I most likely will not do).

Misson complete - 4k Rifle

There we are -- on a Tuesday evening on a slow going Caudatergus hunt near Twin Peaks Mall, the final shot with my Breer M3a on a Dominant gave me the final little kick in my Rifle skill to make the 4k complete! Took me quite some time but got there -- all natural, no chips eaten :)

Next mission is Level 30 Laser Sniper (Hit) so I finally unlock Serendipity... 4k took me almost there but not quite. So a few more Breer guns to burn (although I prefer Isis these days).

There we are -- finally a HoF, and a really nice one. See the full image on EF. I got it on Jan 18 already but did not want to share it before I secured my account with a so-called "Gold Card" that asks for a different code each login, similar to a bank-account... after all, this is more than 350$ and significantly increased my account's worth :).

What to do with all the money? Well, I am in process of getting a full Bear (M) armor, which should eat up the majority of the money... and what's left will go into a set of 5B plates. I have long pondered buying a set, mostly because they are overpriced a lot. I have learned a tough lesson on my Ghost armor, paying some 500 PED markup on it and watching it diminish to almost zero over time. Any crafted item will more or less end up at TT+ a little markup for the raw materials, if one waits long enough... and the crafting cost for a 5B currently is about 35 PED while it sells for +150. Even if one factors in the ~40% success rate in skilled crafting, the fair price would be +88 and not +150. So, first the Bear, then the plates ;)

...still on the way to 4k Rifle...

It's been a while that I posted here, mostly due to the real life. RL has been nice enough to reward me with a new management position that eats about 115% of my available time. It's getting better, slowly. A tough hurdle (external inspection of my area) has been mastered, therefore it's more than due to post something!
I am still not quite at my goal of 4k rifle. At about 3960 at the moment, so getting closer... my Avatar at Entropedia is not quite up to date. Thanks to my computer that frequently reset itself when playing Entropia I have only been able when my wife did not need her computer. As she works from home, this was not very often. But I think I figured out what the issue with my PC is and ordered a new power supply unit (600W instead of 350 W should do the job).
Oh, yes, in the meantime a did get a HoF, finally, but that is worth it's own post after I fetched the screenshots from my wife's PC!
