The second source of accelerators are 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 deal offers are only usable for characters below a certain in-game age (usually less than 15 days old). These boosters will deactivate if a character exceeds the intended age, regardless of the remaining duration. | The second source of accelerators are 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 via real-money purchases are not available on the regular market, but can be sold via contract. [Note: I don't think this is true anymore as I believe all Cerebral Accelerators purchasable as part of bundles from the store are now directly injected on redemption. But also, these no longer have a "new character only" requirement so characters of any age can benefit from the various new player bundles in the store] | Cerebral Accelerators obtained via real-money purchases are not available on the regular market, but can be sold via contract.

Players purchasing Accelerators must weigh up the ISK-for-SP efficiency of Accelerators against that of purchased [[Skill trading#Skill Injectors|skill injectors]]. Depending on market fluctuations, injectors might be a better purchase for lower-SP characters. The diminishing returns on injectors for characters with more SP make Accelerators more worthwhile for more advanced characters. Accelerators which are obtained for free from events, or looted, or gifted to a player, are of course worth using and do not raise the same ISK-efficiency questions. | Players purchasing Accelerators must weigh up the ISK-for-SP efficiency of Accelerators against that of purchased [[Skill trading#Skill Injectors|skill injectors]].
