'''Cerebral Accelerators''' are boosters that increase the [[Skills and Learning#Attributes|attributes]] of character, thereby increasing the speed at which they accrue skill points. | '''Cerebral Accelerators''' are boosters that increase the [[Skills and Learning#Attributes|attributes]] of character, thereby increasing the speed at which they accrue skill points. The attribute bonus given by Cerebral Accelerators varies by type and method of acquisition, but all Cerebral Accelerators boost all attributes by the same amount. Some Cerebral Accelerators provide additional bonuses to combat stats, but most only affect character attributes. | ||
All Cerebral Accelerators occupy booster slot 4, meaning that pilots cannot use two different accelerators at the same time. As noted above, boosters and implants occupy different slots, so pilots are able to use a full set of attribute-boosting implants alongside a Cerebral Accelerator. | |||
===Purchased Accelerators=== | |||
The most common sources of Cerebral Accelerators are various deals offered to new players by CCP (e.g. the Steam Super Starter Pack), which allow inexperienced players to experiment with their [[Skills|skill]] queue during their first few days in New Eden. Cerebral Accelerators obtained by this method are only usable by characters below a certain age (usually less than 15 days old). These boosters will deactivate if a character exceeds the intended age, regardless of the remaining duration. | The most common sources of Cerebral Accelerators are various deals offered to new players by CCP (e.g. the Steam Super Starter Pack), which allow inexperienced players to experiment with their [[Skills|skill]] queue during their first few days in New Eden.

=== | ===Event Accelerators=== | ||
There are also several kinds of Accelerators that have been part of various lore events in New Eden, such as the [[Crimson Harvest]]. These Cerebral Accelerators are usable by all characters, regardless of age, but they also come with a built-in expiration date after which they will no longer function. This expiration date is generally some set time period after the conclusion of the event in which they were obtained. | |||
