To use a booster, right click on it and select 'Consume'. This can be done in space or at a station. Each booster type has a different "slot" that it uses, viewable in the character sheet. You cannot use another booster if it occupies the same slot as currently active booster. These slots are ~~different~~ from those used for regular neural implants.

It is not possible to override an booster once it has been consumed; you must wait out the drug for its duration. Boosters last 30 minutes, increased by 20% (6 minutes) for each level of {{sk|Biology}} the user has trained.

=== Booster creation ===

Finally, the booster is created at a Drug Lab anchored at a POS. This structure has no security requirements, and can be placed and operated in hisec. Manufactoring the final booster product requires the pure booster material of the desired grade covered in the above section, a little bit of megacyte, and a blueprint.

==Cerebral Accelerators==

'''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 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.

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.

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.

===Procurement===

When a player purchases a subscription package that includes a Cerebral Accelerator of any kind, the Accelerator will be delivered via the item redemption system. To redeem a Cerebral Accelerator (or any other item that uses this system), go to the character selection screen. If the Accelerator is available to be redeemed, a “Redeem Items” ribbon with be located along the bottom of the screen. Click on this, and a list of all the items available to be redeemed will be shown. Drag and drop the item onto the portrait of the character you want to receive that item, and the item will then be delivered to the Items Hangar of the station in which your character is currently docked. (NB. It is a good idea to move your character to the station you want the item at before redeeming the item. That way there is zero chance of losing it via having your ship destroyed.) To activate the accelerator, simply right click on it in your items hangar and choose “Consume”.

You do not necessarily need to have activated a new account to receive a Cerebral Accelerator; although they are not available on the Market, they can be found in Contracts, although they are not useful to established characters.
