• Skill Buff Items

Game Mechanics

With the addition of loot enhancements in publish 12 came the Skill Enhancement Stims. These stims were self target only items which allowed the player to obtain a short temporary buff to certain accuracy, speed , and mask scent modifiers. These items came as single drops with 5 uses per item from npcs. Skill enhancement stims all give +10 to the skill modifier they enhance and all have a duration of 5 minutes. These skill modifiers do not stack with other like skill modifier effects. For example food that offers a mask scent bonus will not stack with a skill enhancement stim that modifies mask scent. Skill buff items can be used by clicking on their radial in the menu and selecting the Use option.
