There are 4 ways to obtain an ability code:
-
Buying them from a vendor
-
Buying them from the marketplace
-
Coding them yourself
-
Trading for them with another player
The marketplace is where players sell the items they don't want so you might not find what you want there and you might not find a player who wants to trade it if they have it. Therefore the most reliable ways are to buy them from a vendor or to code them yourself. It is more expensive to your $info if you buy them from a vendor but if you code them you also use up code fragments. It is best to code them because you can't buy abilities above lvl 33 from a vendor.
Here are the locations of every vendor

Every ability code also needs the ability subroutine (blue). Variable fragments (green) are made up of code bits which can be obtained as loot from NPCs or by decompiling an item. You can also obtain variable fragments (common or uncommon) as loot or from code fragment vendors. Code bits can be assembled into variable fragments before you code the ability. Rare fragments (red) can only be obtained from specific locations.
Here are the locations of every rare code fragment
You can upgrade your writecode ability to increase the chances of coding successfully. To do this go to a signal booster.
