I know that it buffs you, but by how much? And how long do the buffs last? Also what does force of will do?

PowerBoost is a special action that Teräs Käsi can take once they get to Advanced Meditative Techniques (level 2). Basically the TKA while meditating will do the action. The Mind attribute will immediately be cut in half (although it will begin regenerating). The Health and Action will begin ramping up over the next 60 seconds, each getting a bonus equal to the amount that was cut from mind. After the first 60 seconds, the Mind attribute should return to normal and begin the ramp up itself to the boosted state. Meditation skill affects the length of time that the bonus lasts. Here is the exact formula used:


Duration: 5 min + (meditation skill mod/100 * 5min) give or take 5%

Worth noting: Power Boost does not take into account buffs to your mind pool. It only works off your base natural value. Here is an example for you:


Your health, Action, and Mind pools are all 800.


You begin to meditate and powerboost.


Your mind will then drop to 400.


As your mind slowly starts to refil back to 800, your health and action pools also begin to rise.


When your mind finally fills back up to where it was, it instantly boosts up as well to match your health and action.


The end result is your Health, Action, and mind pools will now be 1200/1200/1200. This will last for around 8 minutes then you start "powering down" and your health/action/mind slowly returns to normal.


You always buff your H/A/M by: (Base Mind Pool)/2. So, in the above example, even if you had drank a brandy before power boosting, you would still only buff your h/a/m by 400.

At base (when you first get it, Med 2), it will give you about 7-7.5 minutes of the uppage. You probably shouldn't depend on it too much, though, since I don't think it can be used continuously, but it is helpful for a little extra boost.

I have another question, when i am power boosting, then when i stand up i still am increasing my buff, just as if i was still meditating. Is this right?

Yes. All you have to do is meditate, use powerboost, and stand. You will still be buffing your primary stats while standing.

It provides a chance to immediately get up from an incap. Sometimes with no HAM pool, sometimes with half, sometimes with full. Not sure how random it is, but it does come in handy.


Also, and not sure about this, I believe it is set on a 1 hour timer.

Check the link in my sig also, it goes into pretty good detail about Powerboost and Meditation in general.

No longer holding out hope, SWG will never be the game we fought so hard for, that we believed so much in. Farewell friends.
