The Mindforce Guide

Here’s a new guide about a rather expensive profession which is somewhat old, but has been tweaked recently.

Basics

In order to become a MindForcer, you will need the following gear :

• NeoPsion Implant
• Payn-Inc Implant Inserter
• MindForce Chip
• Mind Essence

The Implant Inserter will help you to insert a new NeoPsion Implant in your brain. It contains a powerful disinfectant and its upkeep is very costly (roughly 2.00 PED per use)

The decay for NeoPsion Implants is rather low (roughly 0.01 PED)

11 NeoPsion Implants are known to exist. Each one supports a fixed chip level interval.

• NeoPsion Implant AA (Level 1-3)
• NeoPsion Implant AB (Level 3-7)
• NeoPsion Implant AC (Level 4-7)
• NeoPsion Implant AD (Level 4-8)
• NeoPsion Implant AE (Level 2-8)
• NeoPsion Implant AF (Level 4-10)
• NeoPsion Implant AG (Level 3-10)
• NeoPsion Implant BA (Level 1-3)
• NeoPsion Implant BB (Level 1-5)
• NeoPsion Implant BC (Level 1-7)
• NeoPsion Implant BD (Level 1-9)

There are 10 chip levels, but only 8 are known so far :

• Lesser (I)
• Minor (II)
• Medium (III)
• Moderate (IV)
• Good (V)
• Potent (VI)
• Strong (VII)
• Powerful (VIII)
• ??? (IX)
• ??? (X)

The higher the level, the higher the skills you will need in order to use the chip. And of course, a higher level chip needs a higher upkeep.

Each chip uses a fixed amount of Mind Essence. Mind Essence has a rather high market value (up to 400% at the present time) but can be refined if your skills are low enough (you must be able to gather Vibrant Sweat).
1 Mind Essence = 1 Vibrant Sweat + 1 Force Nexus

Specs

In order to increase efficiency and reduce costs, you should become a Mindforce specialist :

• Biotropy (healing, reviving)
• Psychotropy (mind-related spells)
• Pyrotropy (fiery spells)

Now here’s a list of the (known) chips.
NOTE : As the decay was changed recently, you will have to find out by yourself…

Focus Chip (Psychotropy)

Type : Support Chip
Stats :|-------------------------------------------------------------------| | Focus Chip | Range | Effect | ME | Decay | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| | Lesser | 10 | 2 Charges | 1 | 0.04 PED | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| | Minor | 10 | 4 Charges | 1 | 0.04 PED | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| | Medium | 14 | 8 Charges | 1 | 0.04 PED | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| | Moderate | 16 | 12 Charges | 1 | 0.05 PED | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| | Good | 20 | 16 Charges | 1 | 0.05 PED | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| | Potent | 35 | 19 Charges | 1 | 0.05 PED | |-------------------------------------------------------------------|
Recommended for cheap skilling. Each Focus Charge allows an avatar to keep concentrated while getting hit.

Heal Chip (Biotropy)

Type : Healing Chip
Stats :|------------------------------------------------------------------| | Heal Chip | Range | Effect | ME | Decay | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Lesser | 10 | + 16 HP | 1 | 0.06 PED | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Minor | 15 | + 24 HP | 1 | 0.06 PED | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Medium | 19 | + 32 HP | 2 | 0.06 PED | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Moderate | 19 | + 38 HP | 2 | 0.07 PED | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Good | 20 | + 44 HP | 3 | 0.08 PED | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Potent | 35 | + 50 HP | 3 | 0.10 PED | |------------------------------------------------------------------|
Beginners, keep out. Its low range and its slow reload (which is characteristic of Mindforce) make a FAP way more useful.

Nerve Blast Chip (Psychotropy)

Type : Low-level Offensive Chip
Stats :|------------------------------------------------------------------| | Nerve Blast Chip | Range | Effect | ME | Decay | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Lesser | 35 | 16 Electric | 4 | 0.01 PED | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Minor | 50 | 32 Electric | 5 | 0.01 PED | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Medium | 60 | 36 Electric | 5 | 0.01 PED | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Moderate | 60 | 39 Electric | 5 | 0.02 PED | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Good | 80 | 42 Electric | 5 | 0.02 PED | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Potent | 80 | 45 Electric | 5 | 0.02 PED | |------------------------------------------------------------------|
Recommended for Psychotropy skilling if you don’t feel like bubbling noobs for ages. You will need a bigger load of Mind Essence, but you will get less decay, and at least you might get something back if you are planning to hunt with it.

Firestorm Chip (Pyrotropy)

Type : High-level Offensive Chip
Stats :|------------------------------------------------------------------| | Firestorm Chip | Range | Effect | ME | Decay | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Moderate | 100 | 140 Burn | 12 | 0.18 PED | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Good | 103 | 168 Burn | 15 | 0.21 PED | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Potent | 105 | 199 Burn | 19 | 0.2x PED | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Strong | 1xx | 2xx Burn | 2x | 0.2x PED | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Powerful | 115 | 296 Burn | 28 | 0.3x PED | |------------------------------------------------------------------|
Very expensive, but very powerful as well. You will need good Pyrotropy skills in order to use it.

Revival Chip (Biotropy)

Type : Resurrection Chip
Stats :|------------------------------------------------------------------| | Revival Chip | Range | Effect | ME | Decay | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Powerful | 3 | Resurrection | 103 | | |------------------------------------------------------------------|
The Revival Chip allows you to revive a dead avatar whose corpse is still within reach. Its range is next to nil and it is very expensive. Make sure you have good Biotropy skills for this one as well.

Teleport Chip (Psychotropy)

Type : Teleportation Chip (d’oh)
Stats :|------------------------------------------------------------------| | Teleport Chip | Range | Effect | ME | Decay | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Lesser | 800 | Teleportation | 9 | 0.02 PED | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Minor | 1600 | Teleportation | 22 | | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Medium | 3300 | Teleportation | 56 | | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Moderate | 4900 | Teleportation | 82 | | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Good | 7200 | Teleportation | 118 | | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Potent | 9900 | Teleportation | 178 | | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Strong | 14000 | Teleportation | 234 | | |------------------------------------------------------------------|
The Teleport Chip is expensive and very unaccurate unless your Psychotropy skills are awesome. It might come in handy if you feel like you are tough, though.

Wormhole Chip (Psychotropy)

Type : Mass Teleportation Chip
Stats :|------------------------------------------------------------------| | Wormhole Chip | Range | Effect | ME | Decay | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | Powerful | N/A | Vortex | 678 | | |------------------------------------------------------------------|
The Wormhole Chip is nothing more than a disguised Level 8 Teleport Chip. You will need an extremely large amount of Mind Essence in order to cast it. If you are successful, a vortex will spawn on another avatar for a few seconds. Anyone may travel using the vortex as long as it is active. Requires extremely high Psychotropy skills.

NOTE : You cannot open a vortex between two continents. With a whopping 3600 average in Mindforce skills, your CoS is still Poor… If you fail, you will not waste any Mind Essence. However, your Wormhole Chip will decay.

Skillgains

Attributes : Intelligence, Psyche
Domains : Biotropy, Psychotropy, Pyrotropy
Mindforce Skills : Anatomy, Bravado, Concentration, Courage, Dexterity, Inflict Ranged Damage, Ranged Damage Assessment, Serendipity
Sweat Gathering : Sweat Gatherer

Some info is still missing, feel free to add anything you know about this

Great guide you have there.

I can add something to the heal chips.
There are intervals in the same way as intervals for Fast Aid Packs.

I have tested 2 chips now. Level 1 (Lesser) and Level 3 (medium)

Level 1 start at 5i, end at 8i.
Level 3 start at 6i, end at 16i.

(i) is your healing interval. That is equal as distance between the different heals from chip.

I am pretty sure that max heal is determined as last interval where you heal “cap” for all those chips. [(max possible heal)/2]
If this is correct, we will have this information

Level 1 start at 5i, end at 8i
Level 2 start at xi, end at 12i
Level 3 start at 6i, end at 16i
Level 4 start at xi, end at 19i
Level 5 start at xi, end at 22i
Level 6 start at xi, end at 25i

Ppl who have those chips, can easily see their lowest interval and put in where I wrore x to get a complete matrix.

Im curious about the Revive chips. How do you know there is a strong? Have you seen it? Cause it feels like having more then 1 type of revive chip is pointless since you only can do one thing with it. So I would guess that there is only powerful. But maybe I missed one

[/QUOTE]

Perhaps the stronger the Revive chip the more HP you have when revived… maybe…

I would have though if there is any difference it will be in range. ie the distance from the dead avatar.

And possibly cost per use…

:evilking:

I have seen one on EP galleries… Maybe it was a fake.

If you mean Rea’s im pretty sure its Powerful Resurrection.

Can’t find it back on the gallery… :scared:
Time for Nea’s fav smiley : I might have :kos:

I’ll remove it from the list. if anyone loots a Level 7 RC, please keep us informed.
Oh, and thanks Knoop

franck and kjetil, thanks, always a help…
knoop, you continue to bring up good points…
reps all around
and a round of :beerchug: the good stuff

This may be a daft question but, can you have more than one implant inserted at a time? How does the repair work on the implants?

Thanks!

wow. i dont use mindforce, but i found this post to be very interesting and informative. thank you very much for sharing.

=)

I have a medium and a moderate nerv blast chip and when I first used the medium I had no probs it worked as it should. Then I looted the moderate chip and it said that I had 7% left untill I could use it! So far I understand but a month later I checked the moderate chip again and this time it said 12% until I can use it! I havent used MF since that message but when this guide came I wanted to check if there was any change with the moderate chip.
Guess if I had a supprise when I saw that now it is 15% untill I can use it. The medium chip btw works perfect, all my skills are raising and this is mostly confusing. Anyone know why this occurs?

Yeah, I was confused by that too. I don’t think it’s worded that great. What it means though is that you have 15% of the skills required to use the chip. I’ve been skilling up to use a potent firestorm chip for a while, but I’m still only in the 30% range.

Also, the focus chart should be updated. Since vu 7.3, the focus charges act differently. Instead of getting 8 focus charges, now you would get “your focus charges have increased from 0-6” … and if you did it again you’d get “6-14” … increments depending on skill level. Weaker skills would give you less charges. My moderate chip goes up to 16 charges now though, which is double the previous, even if I have to use it 3 times, it’s worth it.

Thanks!
A nice guide

I have all MF skills under 20 (exept Sweat Gathering :laugh: )
and my COS is in lvl 4 firestorm is “Exelent”…

Thx, I got quite confused with the% of the chip. I guess it was b/c a friend of my who is lesser skilled tryed the chip and we figured he was closer than me to be able to use it :dunce:
Thx for sorting this out for me :smoke:

Completly awesome guide, which has aided me in starting off in Mindforce, luckily I can still sweat to so have been playing with small amounts of ME so far on a Nerve Chip. Rep added.

thanks franck
that helps a lot

How much is a teleport chip, and what skills will i need to get a lvl1 chip?
