XP Booster

Hi,

So I understand that there is an XP Booster out there that one can acquire. But thats about all I know about it. So,

1. is it acquired in Datamine or by Data Mining?
2. Is it a singleton?
3. Does it award 10% of the TOTAL XP remaining till the next level, or does it award 10% of the XP required to level in general (i.e. say I need 1mill XP to level. 10% of that is 100,000XP. Say I've done 200,000XP already leaving me with 800,000XP to go. Will using the booster
   1. Give me 100,000XP regardless of the 200,00 that I've already completed? or
   2. Give me 80,000XP since that is 10% of the amount of XP LEFT for me to level?)

So yeah, thanks for your answers in advance =)

 - So this matter has been resolved, thanks to TameDragon. For those interested, its scenario 1 -

Cheers,

RK

(edit: Removed "Datamine" from the topic of the thread)

(edit 2: reflecting the outcome of the discussion)

1) It is acquired by Data-mining either in Data Mine or the Matrix. 

2) No.  You can have as many as your inventory allows.  However, it cannot be traded and can only be looted from the Data Cluster by the person who tapped the node.

3) It basically rewards you on bar (or blip as some say) of XP.

They drop off the npcs from the DM Spawns. I believe it gives 10% of your total xp needed to level.

I think its number 2.

I think its actually number 1.

Say your xp blip is half way and then you take the amp, it goes half way on the next blip, i'm sure.

Donno if its the same if you do it to level or not though.

From what I remember it's an entire 10th of your XP to the next level, so it'd be Number 1.

To clarify; if you use ten Exp Amps you will gain an entire level. 

Thanks for the help, and the replies.

So general consensus is that it's scenario 1. In that case, I need to get someone to farm them for me / with me =P

Also, just found out that it's called an "Experience Code Amplifier".

I think it was Tamedragon who saved 10 XP amps for when she got to lvl 49.

I done that on my syntax char  I had left a bunch of access nodes to do aswell so the last bunch of levels were a breeze

Was planning on taking one after i had tomo'd someone, that would have been quite funny. I know Dulux punted someone *cough* hlew *cough* and took an amp ha ha

Don't worry about "blips".  If you need 1,000,000 more XP to the next level, it gives you 100,000.

i actually had 15 in the end but yeah as soon as i hit 49 i used em...its 10% of the lvl not the xp left....so 1 blip per exp booster

I stand corrected then.  Thanks for the explanation.

and which npcs drop these? are they rare? easy to find if you know how?

Its a certain spawn you get from datamining. Think theres 2 or 3 spawns that do drop them, 1  defo being either the data sentry or data sims (think thats right.) The other ones are a bit harder (would be easy with more people.) Can't remember what they ones are, ain't done it in a while. 

is there a trick to spawning certain kinds? and are the levels scalable to you or are they set levels for the spawn that drops them?

Nope no trick, pretty much random from what i could tell. And yes, the spawns are scaled to you, so a 50 there, they can do all the work

The spawns that reward with an XP Amp are:

• Lupine
• Blood Drunk
• Viral Sim
• Data Sentries

Their level is respective to the one who spawns them and can be spawned as early as level 20.

Ah thats it. Yeah the Viral Sim and Data Sentry spawns are the easier ones but one of them doesn't always drop (so i got told.)

Blood Drunk spawn is a weird one, never completed it. Seems to spawn about 3 a couple of lvls higher then like 4 your lvl or something within 30 secs of the first spawn

Lupine is alright, might need to use some pills but sometimes you do it all for just a bunch of code bits..

so hypothetically i could level an alt to 20 in a few hours, take him to DM and start spawning these to nuke the spawns with my lvl 44?

Yeap...

Dual clienting ftl though.. Only woosies need to do that

The only drawback is that only the person who spawned them can search the Data Cluster where the XP amp is looted.  It cannot be tricked by filling up inventory, setting loot to random and dumping it into someone else's inventory.  I tried >_>

Your best option, if using dual-client, would be to level an assistant that could rez/buff you while you fighting.  Bring in a few stacks of silver bullets/wooden stakes and give 'em hell.

hehe well this isnt a how much of a man you are excercise =p i can dispell any wuss theory when i reach 50 and start flagging up every day =p right now my focus is to get to 50 asap, and my experience in DM is that i keep getting spawns spawning then disappearing on the last NPC when they are the same level, so nuking them with dual client would stop this, then when im 50 i can cancel my sub on my alt and use 1 account to join in the pvp

and the rezzing idea is a good one, thanks, i take it the amps cant be traded?

They are found after killing certain spawns when you datamine.

Just one thing, ZarlakQUAM; the spawns come from data mining. Being in Datamine (the construct) is not a necessity.

Correct.  Unfortunately.

Wheres the best local to start this?

certain data sentrys 2 of 4 kinds only and lupines, as i remember

One of the SSR guys dropped an XP booster in Data Mine. I was surprised and thankful
