you always get a boost equall to 50% of your current mind....

When you use power boost, your MAX mind goes down 50% and slowly regenerates.

it takes it approximatly 1 minute to regenerate to 100% and then snaps to 150% mind.

while your mind is regenerating your Health and Action get enhanced by an amount equall to the mind you lost.

I belive the power boost buff lasts for aprox. 7 minutes.

Formula for duration of power boost is in the faq, it's:

Total time = 5min + ((meditation skill/100) * 5 min) +/- 5%.

So at +100 meditation you'll be at 10 minutes or so

at +50 meditation you'll be at 7.5 minutes.

Keep in mind that it takes 1 minute for your mind to recover.

Is that still true? I have found lately that this doesn't happen.. My mind stats are maxed at 1100/650/600.. When I powerboost I get a +550 boost. Taking 2 +400 Vasarian Brandy's taking my mind to 1900 and powerboosting still only gives me a +550 boost.. has anyone else noticed this recently? or is it just me and should I be /bugging it?

its your initial mind bar so if its 1000 and you pop spice and drink to brandy's bringing your mind to 2300 you still only get +500 to mind. Its not your current mind bar its what your mind bar is without any enhancements. And its not always +500 it can vary.

Thanks for clearing that up

it only seems to vary if you have wounds.

That is correct. If you have your mind set at 1000, and no mind wounds, you will get a 500 point buff to Health, action and mind. If you have it set at 1000 and have 100 mind wounds, you would get a 450 point buff to H A M.

I believe you also can not PB if you are below half of your mind bar.IE you have 400/1000 mind, I don't think it will let you PB. If it does, you may only get a 200 point buff.

Foods used to stack with PB, so you could use food, drink and spice to get your mind way up, then PB. However, this no longer functions. It uses your base mind, no matter what now.

Correct, but you're talking about damage not wounds. If you had 400/1000 damage-wise then yea... you wouldn't have the 500 mind damage required to PB. If you had400/1000 (ie 600 wounds) then you would PB, but for only 200 damage.

I know what you mean, but just as a clarification, food and spice do still stack with power boost (you can get the power boost + spice bonus at the same time), but the value of your boost is dependant only on your base mind value. Just a syamtics point.

Anyone have any idea when this got changed? The FAQ still indicates that Food and Spice buffs are added into the Powerboost bonus.
