Wrong.
They add to *mind!
And mind internally might be added with 900, when it's 100% is just means a full mind .
So: if it is normal 1000 with crystal it will be 1900.
50% of mind without crystal: 500
50% of mind with cyrstal: 950

Has anyone tested this?
Namely use the focuse crystal and use an action that takes mind and see how many times it can be done... Then do the same without the crystal...

The mind crystal acts as an instant stim for the mind bar now.
So say your mindis at 5%. If you use the mind crystal your mind is healed back to 100%.

the mind buff crystal doesnot work. Ive tried it with half mind and used it, it didnt replenish my mond or increase how fast it regened. Tried the crystal with no mind no effect. Tried the crystal with full mind still cost the same amount to do a bacta shot. So i dont know if its bugged but me and several people in my guild have tried this and it does nothing. Maybe in the future the devs will fix it but unil then I dont see any use for it.

You don't understand.... The mind crystal is a MIND buffer
-> Your mind bar before crystal (at 100%)
[XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX]
-> Your mind bar AFTER crystal (at 100%)
[XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX]
Notice the difference? No? Good, cause there isn't any!
Now try to do a lot of mind-intensive actions. And count the number of actions you can do BEFORE and AFTER. There is the difference.

Which is why spiced tea still works.

If that was true, if you do bactashot and it uses 10% mind when mind was 1000/1000, surely if your mind went to 1900/1900 and you use bactashot it would use 9% mind or 8%, and it doesnt it still uses 10% so there is no change.
O really?
have you MEASURED the real use of bactashot?
don't yhink so.
It works like this... If you say it was 10% when haveing 1000/1000 mind it would mean, bactashot costs 100mind.
IF you have crystal used, then it would be 100 of 1900 instead of 1000, which is sufficiantly less (*almost 50%, makeing it a cost of 5%, not 10%).
Please do the math, before shouting and yelling about bugs that you cannot confirm.

Heated argument
Not heated... I just get annoyed by people not having their numbers straight...
I know, when I use the mind crystal, i can do MORE mind-costing stuff then without.
Without crystal: mind runs out
Wit crystal: action runs out
Tested, theorized and working

People have tested this it does not work. Mind does not regen faster with it, and at half mind using it does not increase mind. So whats there to argue about? You guys think that maybe it might have a hidden effect??doubt it.. theres more broken things than easter eggs in this game.
