I personally prefer to keep the base buff and lower the filling to 33 and then work on duration. That way you can have 3 of these if you want short but powerful buff or take them one after another.

I've done 2 different runs

10 minutes 36 filling

10 minutes 33 filling

Obviously the 36 filling would be a bigger buff(306 I think with current resources, nonBE).

The first you can take 1 every 10 minutes to keep a constant buff. The 2nd is the same but you can also take 3 at once if you want. I sell each about the same.

Until the plates (or whatever) get here, I think the more bang for the buck is what makes sense. How many charges are you getting?

I've gotten 6 I think.

Forget canape. Use brandy and ahrisa instead. I'll give some examples of what I have.

Canape - +748 focus and willpower for 11 minutes, 39 fill

Ahrisa - +412 focus for 46 minutes, 33 fill

Brandy - +401 mind, focus, and willpower for 45 minutes, 50 fill.

Basically what happens is I eat 3 ahrisa for a total of 1236 focus, which lasts for 46 minutes. Then I drink 2 brandy for an extra 802 mind, focus, and willpower. That's a total buff of 802 mind, 2038 focus, and 802 willpower. Here's a breakdown of what each stat does.

Mind - The blue health bar

Focus - Reduces the amount of damage you take from using specials. Above 1500 focus means no damage from specials.

Willpower - Regeneration of the Mind health bar

So basically, with brandy and ahrisa I get almost double the Mind (I'm zabrak with 1000 mind base), enough focus to be able to spam specials without mind damage, and the willpower for rapid regeneration. I can wear a full suit of composite and not take mind damage while spamming specials, even with the huge encumbrance. WELL worth the price of ahrisa and brandy both.

Canape on the other hand I only use in emergencies, like if I forget to watch my buff bar and I start spamming specials after my ahrisa and brandy wear off. Otherwise, it's not that useful. Brandy and ahrisa are KING!

1000/450/750 basemind (mine as an example)+ 800 all 3 stats (double brandy) + 2100 focus and willpower (3 canape with 33 filling) = 1800/2550/2850 enhanced mind without entertainer buffs

add in buffs = 2800/3000/3600

add powerboost = 3300/3000/3600

minus encumbrance = 3300/ ~2500/~3100

With ahrisa you only get 800 towillpower (say 1300~1500) which will be reduced by about 500 for pvp-grade armour to around 800~1000. That's not gonna regen quick enough to keep you alive.

With canape, specials will cost nothing, even if you switch to a high cost rifle for headshots, any damage you take with this level of mind is negligible and regens almost instantly.

You only need this much mind for PvP where most encounters last less than 10 mins. Eat your canape at the start and you're good for the whole fight, if it does go longer, just eat some more. And there's always muon for emergencies.

And that's only using canape

What about Vercupti? 66 filling +1100 to all 3 main stats:

1000/450/750 basemind + 800 all 3 stats (double brandy) + 700 focus and willpower (1 canape with 33 filling) + 1100 ham (1 vercupti)=2900/1150/1450 enhanced mind without entertainer buffs

add in buffs = 3900/1600/2200

add powerboost =4400/1600/2200

minus encumbrance = 4400/ 1100/1700

Taking in doc buffs, the main stats come out at around 4800/4800/4400 for my stat settings with poor buffs (I've had health and action up to 5200 without spice)

Even though specials will still cost a little, that's an awful lot to play with and is perfect for tanking highend mobs/jedi.
