'''Combat boosters''', sometimes '''medical boosters''' or just '''boosters''', are performance enhancing drugs in EVE. They allow users to temporarily boost certain combat related abilities. The more powerful boosters have a chance of having negative side effects which will impact your ability to fight, and are illegal to carry in Empire space. The weaker boosters, called Synths, are legal and have no chance of side effects, but have dramatically reduced effects.
'''Combat boosters''', sometimes '''medical boosters''' or just '''boosters''', are performance enhancing drugs in EVE. When consumed, the user gets a temporarily boost to a specific combat related attribute. The more powerful boosters have a chance of having negative side effects which may impact a user's ability to fight, and are illegal to transport in Empire space (though not to use). The weaker boosters, called Synths, are legal and have no chance of side effects, but have dramatically reduced effects.


Boosters are manufactured from gasses which are [[Gas Cloud Mining|harvested]] from anomalies in known space. Mytoserocin is used to make Synth boosters and is found in high and low security space, and cytoserocin, found in low and null security space, is used to create the more powerful and illegal Standard, Improved, and Strong boosters.
