New Skill on OPEN!!!
 

Check this out, I was sailing to an island for quest purposes and I hit the "K" button to look at future staff skills. But.. as you know when you have that weapon drawn or you are on a cannon or at the helm of a ship it shoes the skills for that particular thing. Well, I WAS playing on Open of course as I dont have a test account so this is the real thing. Look.... "Power Recharge" I dont know what level it is at because I am 21 sailing and I just need a skill point to unlock it. It is much like Taskmaster.. but only it is not a passive skill.. but an order/manuever. If only if only I had not gotten Taskmaster.. :|

I saw that... and am at level 24 right now on sailing.. dont know if I wanna use my last point on that... lol... not until I find out if its any good.

Just leveled up to 21 in sailing a second ago. There wasn't a "skill unlocks at lev___" in the description, so maybe someone with a lower lev sailing could answer that part. I figure if it only lasts 10 seconds, it may not be worth putting a point into, but IDK....anyone?

10 seconds is an amazing start. Max it and it will be 50 seconds I believe. It is a level 20 sailing order, because it is past the "Take Cover!" order.

I'm level 24, so when I noticed that yesterday, I was happy that I hadn't hit level 25, so now I can use my last point on it xD

rats!
 

being maxed on sailing makes me angry for the first time!

I feel ripped off. Mastered people cant get this skill. Punish us because we've worked hard at it?

I hope the level cap raises soon. I must have that skill!

yea i was wondering about sailing masters ...

anyway sounds great

Take cover is level 20, so it's gotta be past that.

Ok so I went on 2 pirates that mastered sailing, have 2, and 5 points still to use. That recharge skill isn't available to unlock :(

im lvl 18 sailing and it does not say unlock at lvl (insert lvl no. here)

It opens at level 17.

So it opens out of order?

lol guess so O_o

I checked. Yes, yes it does!

pdd lvl for and odd skill its also odd that they didnt announce this O_o in there release notes

I knew I should have saved some points, oh well :(

We need a way to reset points spent but at a great cost so it's not exploited in anyway, I'd happily pay 60000 gold for a tonic or super strength rum that makes me "forget" all the skills I've learnt.

Drink up me hearties yo ho!

lol super strong rum that makes ye have a hang over and forget all your skills O_o

So if ur under lvl 17 sails you can get it, if ur above its not able to? BTW, if you have skills available and mastered, its not available.

Really? I cannot unlock it. I guess they are still working on it.

Well that sucks for us sailing masters.

Oops! My mistake. I checked my level two sailer, and it didn't have an unlock.

P.S. I was looking at the wrong thing...

I was just on my lev 5 sailing pirate, and it didn't show an unlock level, so i guess it's a "use it anytime" skill. Stinks for those that are maxed though...I wonder why it wasn't in the release notes??

ok so here is the question has anyone applied sp to it?? if so what lvl sailer are ye

the best idea for a skill point reset would be rum but the rum is not an insane cost. The only downside to the rum is that it subtracts a certin ammount of xp so if you "rum" it out too much to reset all your dagger skill you might lose 2 or 3 levels and you level them back up to get your 2 or 3 points back.

IE .

Captian jack's forgetful rum voodoo- Poke
Captian jack's forgetful rum voodoo-Swarm
Captian jack's forgetful rum voodoo-Heal

ETC..

They would subtract say 750 noterioty per grog you drank. it would subtract it from your overall noterioty as well as the specific skill in this case voodoo poke, swarm or heal.

Overall at a loss of experiance points you can have a point reset in any specific skill with each grog you drank. Allowing you to reallocate it immideatly unless you lost a level with that grog then you would have to level up again to get your free point back.

Verry simple and good idea if i made any sense lol. English is not my first so sorry in advance!

Dead Bodies.

I wondered if it was an extra that was loaded at the same time all the other stuff (hats clothes tattoos etc) appeared. I don't remember it being there before and also there is no green "unlocks at level" wording. Has anyone actually chosen this skill yet??

OK, I understand that English is not your language of chioce, but this made no sence to me at all. Can you try again?

Well I tried to activate the new skill last night on my little pirate, and it wouldn't. There was still no "skill unlocks at lev___" there, but I couldn't put a point into it. Another bug, or big time mistake by the dev's? We'll see...

It is a new skill that they will most likely implement when tehy raise the cap from 40 to whatever. Once the boss is back open and they start on teh next chapter, tehy have to give us mastered people something to work for. Thats where that skill gets used at.

Ah, Angel, I didn't think of that. That makes sense.

It makes more sense about them raising the cap level to 70 after the Boss Battle. 'Cause the 2000 point notoriety in crease for L40 pirates? Pointless because they cannot get anymore rep. Weapons will hopefully be 30-35-40 or something.
Rum is pathetic and ridiculous, because.. notoriety rep TAKEN AWAY? AND LEVELS? No way. There would be no Pirate Masters..

So you're saying it doesn't unlock at 17?

What is really interesting though, is that now we kinda have a good idea that they will raise the 25 cap, and will provide us with new skills. That's exciting :)

My question: Has anyone spent a point (or more) on it yet?

Nope, its not an unlockable skill yet.

I don't think it's such a bad idea, though anything like it is unlikely to be added to the game. But anyway, using Dead Bodies's idea: Say you are a Pirate Master with all the skills maxed. You've used a skill point on some worthless skill and want to make better use of it. Drink the rum and you get to choose to drop that skill point. You also lose 750 overall rep. and 750 rep. from that skill. Then you just use that skill until you've gained the 750 rep. back and you're a Pirate Master again with all the skills maxed and now you can use that skill point to a different skill. I don't think that would be a harsh price to pay.

i agree :)

The skill is now called Leadership, description stayed the same. I don't know when it changed.

Probably with the march 5th update yesterday. So, any word on it unlocking now since we know there messing with it?

Unlocked!!
 

Today on Test, I discovered that the skill is now unlocked. The description states that the skill is unlocked when you have recovered the Black Pearl.

There was an update tonight (labeled March 8th!) which might have released it.

Hmm, what an interesting catch.

Im sailing lvl 12 and theres no "unlocks at lvl something"

It's unlocked after you finish the story quest and boss battle with the goliath. I don't know how it works, if you can put more than one point in it, or if you have to invest at all for the first point, but a couple of my friends have said they got it after the boss battle.

You can't put any more points into Leadership and it doesn't take a point to get it. The skill isn't great but it's useful if you want to get off another broadside volley very quickly. It recharges the deck cannons too but those recharge pretty quickly anyway.

I had mastered sailing when I entered the boss battle. Ater successful completion, I was given this new skill. I had no points to spend. It appears just as Hile has said, a free skill. Woot! Useful for times when you're battling multiple targets and a Revenant spawns next to you. It quickly recharches your broadsides, full sail, coming about and other skills so they may be used again. It also recharges the deck cannons faster but that isn't as useful because they might not all need them when you hit it. It's not instant but it is a lot faster. It be fun to use this in the boss battle. :fahrzeug122:

I love the skill. I like how my ship glows blue when I use ti too. The only downside to the skill is when u use it, your broadsides recharge much faster, then when the 10 secs run out, if they arent fully charged, they go back to where they wouldve been without hittin the leadership. So instead of being almost fully loaded, they go back down to half when the skill is complete, and build up from there again.

oh ok so u do unlock it when u beat the boss battle :laughks2:
