Buffs and Debuffs

Debuffs

When grinding IP, the lower your total skill value is, the quicker you will earn IP for said skill. There are a variety of ways to “debuff”, or temporarily lower, your stats.

• Bugshit and radiation is a good debuff for most main stats.

Brawn	Hunger, broken limbs.
Brains	Horny, brain damage, frenzy.
Cool	Remove @describe me as, horny.
Senses	Wearing earplugs, wearing an eyepatch.
Reflexes	Being full, weed.
Endurance	Hungry, weed, nicotine.

In addition to all these debuffs, rad sickness, stress and piss crystals also work well for drastically lowering some major stats.

Buffs

When done grinding IP, after a RAW score of 6, you’ll need to grind XP to gain any further RAW levels for that skill. Grinding XP usually includes killing things, crafting, etc. To make this easier, players usually “buff”, or temporarily raise, their stats. This makes whatever XP grinding task slightly easier to accomplish.

Brawn	Drunk, horny, frenzy, stimutac, beef juice boxes.
Brains	Catfish, peyote, caffeine.
Cool	Bling, nicotine.
Senses	caffeine, peyote, horny
Reflexes	Cocaine, crank, speed.
Endurance	Crank.

Equipment

There are some equipment that gives bonuses when worn or held.

Lab coat	+2 science	Bought in botany bay.
Carapace-lined scrubs	+2 science
Polycarbonate goggles	+1 science	Max out the ghostbuster job.
Doctor's Mirror	+2 medic	Max out the medic job.
Repairman's toolbox	+2 repair	Bought in Freedom City.
Rubber yellow gloves	+2 repair	Max out the utility worker job.
Aviator goggles	+1 pilot	Bought in Corpclave.
Functional metal Detector	+ 1 scavenge*	Dope Jack sells these.

(*EXTREMELY BUGGED. Dropping one of these while it's equipped will remove the +1, but picking it back up and equipping it will do nothing. Unequipping it again will then remove 1 from your unbuffed total.) (Confirmation if this is still the case, anyone?)
