A lot of people dont know about buffs. Go find your local chef and ask them to make tatooine sunburn for you. It gives +1500 strength and stamina, effectively nullifying all of your special cost problems(when you've got 2000 strength you hardly use any health, and with 2000 stamina you regen action faster than specials use em). Also, there's no side effects on chef buff's unlike spices.


Ask them about their other foods too. Very few people actually understand the benefits of food and drink in the game at the moment. They're not just social/roleplay items, they can give you a huge edge in combat.

If you wear armor, you can also get it sliced and hope for a encubarance slice. Wich will make your regen stats much higher. .

all the same, natural stats rarely go much over 500. A boost of 1500 gives you regen that regens action faster then specials use it, and makes specials cost minuscule amounts of health. Not that I really care, I dont know how big an issue this is for riflemen, I was just told some rifles have very high special costs. I already have a customer base that I can fairly keep up with demand now.

FYI, most rifle special moves use mind pool, not health.

Honestly how does this help? Rifle specials use mind!!! I've never had a problem with health drain, even with armor on and abysmal regen/cost because of it!!!

He was just giving an example .



Now of the dozens of foods chefs can make , don't you all think there is probably one that buffs Mind Pools by that much ? I'm heading to a chef asap so I can use my Spraystick more .



Thanks for the info friend .... will be useful .

find a good weaponsmith and ask him/her to make yoiu some nice weapon powerups. i pay up to 500 a pop and always have a bagfull of the ones that have 2-3 effects on em, biggest effect is always reduction in mind costs on specials, 2nd usually attack speed or max dmg, 3rd action cost reduction.


so far best cost reduction powerup i have had was 40%, so it really helps a lot.
