Blood Raider Cerebral Accelerators.

I'm curious about these items which are mentioned in the latest blog...

https://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/the-crimson-harvest/?utm_source=ccp&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20151020_newsletter&utm_content=crimson

Here are their details...

Blood Raider Cerebral Accelerator (will increase all attributes by 10 points for 24 hours)
Advanced Blood Raider Cerebral Accelerator (will increase all attributes by 12 points for 24 hours)

The accelerators are plugged in through the same method as a standard implant, and will last 24 hours before they are depleted. Be aware however, that you should use them with haste, they expire November 2nd.

~~~

Questions.

1. Is the 24 hours one day from plug in, or 24 hours of playing time? I barely play 1 hour in a day.
2. What difference will this make to any skill training? I think it would be a minor benefit, but I haven't crunched any numbers.

What are the possible other "Blood Raider themed rewards", apart from the buyables, I don't do the whole buyable thing.

1 is 24 hours form the time you plug it in, in real time.

I think the average attribute has 20 points in it. So adding +10 points gives a 50% SP gain buff. Right? Of course I'm right.

Can we get an official response to the working condition of these 2 boosters please CCP.

I consumed the +10 variety and the training time on the skill I was training did not change a bit. I made note of the time I had left before and after using the booster and nothing. I'd really be mad if I had spent a bunch of isk on it instead of just 15 mins in a site.

Good idea but failed execution

You were referring to the game, or the English in your posts?

If CCP reads this, can they be changed to a set amount of skill points?

10k and 20k seems mighty fine.

The other way is too confusing and seems a little cheap.

I imagine it will be fixed by DT, and the event will get an extra day or something like that. worst case everyone gets some free sp.

It may be my imagination, but I got the impression after using an accelerator that the seconds on my training time remaining were ticking down faster than one per second.

I'll try to verify after 24 hours...

Someone else did the math and ended up at about 600sp/h as long as you have it active. Assuming he's correct, that's 14400SP a day. I'm not online to see the price right now but yesterday when I looked they were at about 250m. You need 14 of these to activate once per day for the next two weeks, so assuming they fall to a tenth of their price at 25m/pop you're looking at 350m for 201600 additional SP over the next 2 weeks.

I use a ballpark figure of 1.5m SP/month when looking at characters on character bazaar, so at the price of 1/4th of a PLEX, you're looking at gaining about 26% extra SP over the next week.

Which means that until they're 25m a pop on contracts, it's more economical to just buy a PLEX and wait.

As you get +xx on each attribute it doesn't matter what skill you are training.
SP per 60 seconds = primary attribute + 1/2 secondary attribute.

+10 would be 10 + 1/2*10 = 15 more SP per 60 seconds (compared to your current training speed)
+12 would be 12 + 1/2*12 = 18 more SP per 60 seconds (compared to your current training speed)

+10 accelerator: 15 * 60 * 24 = +21.600 SP per day compared to training without an accelerator
+12 accelerator: 18 * 60 * 24 = +25.920 SP per day compared to training without an accelerator

Do I have to use the thing one at a time everyday at the same time? Not very convenient.

If I could farm or buy 14 pieces and consume the whole stack to get 14 day effect...

This is exactly how it works.
