Overview

Implants are items that you can plug into your character's brain to boost skills and attributes, helping you to learn faster and be more effective.

You have ten slots available in your head for implants. Each slot takes a specific kind of implant.

Slots 1-5 are for Attribute Enhancers, and slots 6-10 are for Skill Hardwirings.

To use any implant you need at least one level of Cybernetics, which itself requires Science 3. The more powerful and expensive implants require more training in Cybernetics, and often cost significant amounts of ISK, but they can give you indispensable reductions in skill training times, and useful bonuses to your ship's abilities.

Implants can be acquired from Loyalty Point stores of various corporations, storyline mission rewards, and rare NPC loot drops.

How to use an implant

You cannot plug in an implant while training skills. If you are currently training skills, then go to your Character Sheet, select Skills from the list on the left, open your Training Queue, and pause your skill training. Right-click on the implant and choose Plug In; the implant will take effect immediately. Finally, go to your Training Queue and resume your training.

If you remove the implant, it is destroyed. You will not be harmed in the process, though it will sting a little. This is done by pausing the training queue again, going to your Character Sheet, selecting Augmentations, right-clicking the implant in question, and selecting Unplug. Remember to resume training!

Upgrading a set of implants could be a bad idea because it destroys the old set. Instead, you could buy a jump clone, jump to it and install the new set of implants there. Each jump clone has its own set of implants. Only the implants installed in the clone you are currently occupying will have an effect. That way, the old implants are preserved as a backup when your pod is destroyed during PvP.

When using jump clones, never leave two jump clones inactive in the same station (by docking in a station where you already have one inactive clone, and then jumping out of your second clone into a third clone which is somewhere else). You can only have one inactive clone per station. If you leave two inactive clones in one station your oldest clone will be deleted and you will lose any implants installed in it.

Attribute Enhancers

Each attribute enhancing implant boosts a particular attribute, with some of the best (and rarest, and therefore most expensive) ones giving additional bonuses.

There are 5 simple implants for each slot: Limited (+1), Limited-Beta(+2), Basic(+3), Standard(+4), and Improved(+5).

Each slot enhances a different attribute as follows

Slot 1 - Alpha - Ocular Filter: Perception
Slot 2 - Beta - Memory Augmentation: Memory
Slot 3 - Gamma - Neural Boost: Willpower
Slot 4 - Delta - Cybernetic Subprocessor: Intelligence
Slot 5 - Epsilon - Social Adaptation Chip: Charisma

Advanced attribute implants come in sets that affect one particular stat. Each implant comes with a bonus that increases the effectiveness of all implants in the set, and a 6th-slot hardwiring adds an extra bonus.

To calculate the total bonus for a set of implants, first the set bonus multiplier is calculated by multiplying together all the set bonuses for the implants in the set. The effect bonus for each implant is then multiplied by the set bonus multiplier, and the total bonus can be found by multiplying the new effect bonus values together for each implant in the set. For more details, see this thread on the forums.

Skill Hardwirings

Skill hardwirings increase the skill specified in the implant's description. Most of these hardwirings are available in three variations and they usually give a bonus of 1%, 3% or 5% to skills, ships or modules.

These implants are inserted into augmentation slots 6 through 10. The following is an approximate list of what implants are available. For lists organised by function, and a summary of slot options, see the List of Skill Hardwiring Implants (or alternatively, see the the Evelopedia page).
