Often when I hunt (lb/rifle/pistol) i get this perception skill
90% of times when i got perception i got ‘No loot’ or crap loot (<50pec)
5% of time I got 50pec-1 ped
5% of time I got more than 1ped… though less than 3 ped
What is this Perception skill? what does it help at?
Anyone had any similar experiences?
have you ACCTUALLY written down every time you get perception and calculated that?
If not, its all in your head darling 
Either way I think it got nothing to do with it…
Would be fun tho, to get a “crap-loot” skill
Astonishing crappy looter 
not written down yet but i will even today if i’ll play
funny part is i’m usualy hunting as a team with my wife… and we’re gettin perception on the same mob (though she has different skills from mine).. so we either get both perception or neither
actually… i’ve notice the perception/no loot corelation and now when i get perception and some good loot i actualy remember… and after a hunt i do statistics
edit:
as for the crap-loot skill… yeah that would be nice if it said… from now on for half hour u’ll get crap loot… but i did get a 859 ped hof on a mob after getting perception on another…
i think i hit 1k in the crap loot skill, Cause i definatly am getting them lol
Its all in your head dude, skills doesnt matter when looting.Just look at hoflist and see all the people with barely 1/10th of your skill looting 600+ on chickens and cournundacaudas. I dont actually know if perception helps in any skill,just as I doubt marksmanship is useful to anything since all the nerfs in aiming/hitting makes me miss more now than when I was a n00b

So is there really no point in Perception skill? no point at all? it doesn’t help at anythin?
what other useless skills can people buy?
what good are these: bravado, alertness, courage…?
dunno about bravado but it sounds like “yeehaa”-skill if you know what i mean?
Alertness goes side by side with Evade and dodge so that ones is pretty good i think
courage i dont know much about
I dunno, I have heard people theorizing that Perception may effect WHAT you get in your loot. Cash or Items, etc…

Easy way to test it:
Go shooting snables with mk2 - you wont get perception from 9 mobs out of 10.
Go shooting any bigger mobs - you get perception with every mob.

That technique wont work in slowdowns since the “you gained XXX” text doesnt show as often
Perception helps enormously when using Hides for crafting just ask Starman. I have many k worth of this skill and it’s very hard to gain at high leveles. As for loot it means squat!
perception helps in tailoring?.. Never knew that..
here is a link to some nice skill charts. http://www.candyman.se/pe/skillchart/
the top part of the page contains skills listed out. the bottom part has activites and the associated skills that are used in those activities grouped.
perception is used in combat attacks, among other things.
a good general rule of thumb is that whatever you are doing when you see the increase is something that the skill aids you in doing.
pretty obvious IMO.
so, have any of you ever received a perception increase after looting? i haven’t and so i doubt that it is a factor in what loot you get.
just like i have never seen a perception increase while crafting. which means it doesn’t factor into crafting either.
Perception helps with :
)I don’t know if it helps with hunting, but I don’t think so. Although I had plenty of Perception skillgains on my axe hunter, I only had few decent loots… And none after these skillgains (or next to )…
I agree, but it doesn’t mean unrelated or rare skills don’t help, either… !
You can be 100% sure that it greatly helps with a skill in which Perception skillgains are pretty rare or not even supposed to exist

don’t you get skill gains in this game by doing? i thought that was the case. i guess if it is not the case then there is no rhyme or reason to how skills are gained.
but…i can’t prescribe to that thought.
I am noob in mining, but i noticed that u get Perception when hiting something as u get Prospecting or Geology, so it might have a relation with getting or not getting something back, at least regarding mining.
i think courage is to stay cool and hit moore :wise:
I think perception helps you deflect mob attacks, and place your hits more accurately.
I also think it helps you loot items. I compare loots from when I had perc 0 and to where I have perception 500 - there is a difference.

Which makes me wonder why I loose more and more cash the more perception I get 
Perception aint increasing loots,I am sure it doesnt
This is Funny
I was just about to write a post about when i get lot of perception skill it almost always means there is a good loot not far away
Maybe not always a Hoff or global but something extra like a 5 PED or a Fap5 or mob skull
Does it realy work this way? Probebly NOT
Am i having more fun Thinking evertime i see a perception skill increse i know there is a good loot not far away ? YES
And thats what PE is about for me Having fun
