Global Boosts
Global Consumables are boosts that apply to every active player in the galaxy, not just the person who buys them. Anyone can contribute, and the contributions stack.
The four boosts
| Name | Effect |
|---|---|
| XP | Increases experience gained in battling, gathering, crafting and exploring |
| Income | Increases credit, resource and cosmic dust gains |
| Cooldown | Reduces engine cooldown after traveling |
| Drop Chance | Increases drop chances for items, blueprints and NPC materials |
Each boost has its own independent timer, so the galaxy can have some active and others disabled at the same time.
Tiers
Every purchase adds minutes to a boost's timer. The amount of time remaining determines which of the five tiers is active, and the tier determines how strong the effect is:
| Status | Minutes remaining | Hours | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Disabled | 0 |
0 |
None |
| Tier 1 | 1 to 359 |
up to 6 |
5% |
| Tier 2 | 360 to 719 |
6 to 12 |
10% |
| Tier 3 | 720 to 1439 |
12 to 24 |
15% |
| Tier 4 | 1440 to 2879 |
24 to 48 |
20% |
| Tier 5 | 2880 or more |
48+ |
25% |
Note that the tier depends on time remaining, not on total time bought. As the timer runs down the boost drops through the tiers, and when it reaches zero the boost turns off for everyone.
Purchasing
- Go to the Premium Store
- Click "Global Consumables" under the "Premium Products" section
There you can purchase any of the available boosts in exchange for Stellar Tokens.
Once purchased, a reminder appears on screen and a notification goes out to all players.
TL;DR:
- Global boosts benefit every active player, whoever pays for them.
- The tier is based on time remaining, so topping up a boost near expiry keeps it at a higher tier for longer.
- At Tier 5 each boost is worth 25%.
