Implants

Overview

Implants are items that you can plug into your character's brain to boost skills and attributes, helping you to learn faster and be more effective.

You have ten slots available in your head for implants. Each slot takes a specific kind of implant.
Slots 1-5 are for Attribute Enhancers, and slots 6-10 are for Skill Hardwirings.
To use any implant you need at least one level of Cybernetics, which itself requires Science III. The more powerful and expensive implants require more training in Cybernetics, and often cost significant amounts of ISK, but they can give you indispensable reductions in skill training times, and useful bonuses to your ship's abilities.

Implants can be acquired from Loyalty Point Stores of various corporations, storyline mission rewards, rare NPC loot drops, and of course the Marketplace.

Using An Implant

To install an implant, right-click on the implant and choose Plug In; the implant will take effect immediately. If you remove the implant, it is destroyed. You will not be harmed in the process, though it will sting a little. This is done by going to your Character Sheet, selecting Augmentations, right-clicking the implant in question, and selecting Unplug.

Upgrading a set of implants can be an expensive decision because it destroys the old set. Instead, you could buy a jump clone, jump to it and install the new set of implants there. Each jump clone has its own set of implants. Only the implants installed in the clone you are currently occupying will have an effect. That way, the old implants are preserved as a backup when your pod is destroyed during PvP.

Attribute Enhancers

Each attribute enhancing implant boosts a particular attribute, with some of the best (and rarest, and therefore most expensive) ones giving additional bonuses.

There are 5 “simple” implants for each slot: Limited (+1), Limited-Beta (+2), Basic (+3), Standard (+4), and Improved (+5). Each slot enhances a different attribute as follows:

Slot 1 - Alpha - Ocular Filter: Perception
Slot 2 - Beta - Memory Augmentation: Memory
Slot 3 - Gamma - Neural Boost: Willpower
Slot 4 - Delta - Cybernetic Subprocessor: Intelligence
Slot 5 - Epsilon - Social Adaptation Chip: Charisma

“Simple” implants (those that only boost attributes) do not use Greek designations.

Advanced attribute implants come in sets that affect one particular stat. Each implant comes with a bonus that increases the effectiveness of all implants in the set, and a 6th-slot hardwiring adds an extra bonus.

To calculate the total bonus for a set of implants, first the set bonus multiplier is calculated by multiplying together all the set bonuses for the implants in the set. The effect bonus for each implant is then multiplied by the set bonus multiplier, and the total bonus can be found by multiplying the new effect bonus values together for each implant in the set.

Skill Hardwirings

Skill hardwirings increase the skill specified in the implant's description.

Skill hardwirings occupy implant slots 6-10 and allow the user to surpass the bonuses achieved from even level V in most skills by providing up to a 6% bonus to the same attribute as its namesake skill. For example, the slot 6 Inherent Implants 'Lancer' Small Energy Turret SE-601 increases Small Energy Turret by 1% (similar to Small Energy Turret). The code at the end of the hardwiring's name gives a good clue as to what it does, and how powerful it is. Using the example above, SE-601 shows that the implant boosts Small Energy Turret (due to the designation SE), the first number shows that it occupies implant slot 6 and the last number shows that it provides a 1% increase.

Implant Acquisition

All hardwiring implants can be purchased at NPC stations through the LP store. This is usually the most cost-effective way but not always as the market is volatile and may offer cheaper implants off the market than the LP store.

Special Genolution Core Augmentation Set

A new set of implants were introduced by CCP (as special limited items) that have bonuses but do not fit the standard pattern and are not Tech 2 implants. The CA-1 and CA-2 were introduced as holiday giveaway items while the CA-3 and CA-4 were initially available only through a special purchase of commemorative items, but were reissued as anniversary giveaway items. These implants require only Cybernetics II and Science III.

CA-1 - Perception +3; provides +1.5% powergrid and capacitor amount bonus; 50% bonus for set
CA-2 - Intelligence +3; provides +1.5% CPU and capacitor recharge bonus; 40% bonus for set
CA-3 - Willpower +3; provides +1.5% ship velocity and shield capacity bonus; 30% bonus for set
CA-4 - Memory +3; provides +1.5% ship agility and armor hit points bonus; 20% bonus for set

Total Effect Bonus is 4.25% for a full set for each of the bonuses. Because each implant gives bonus to a different attribute, they are not combined like the T2 implant bonuses.

Advanced Attribute Enhancer Reference

The Kronos release in June 2014 made significant changes to these, which will be reflected below. Notably, unqualified version were renamed to “High-grade” and given a +4 bonus; some Low-grade implants were renamed to Mid-grade and given a +3 bonus; and for those, a new Low-grade version was introduced. Note that there is no consistency in which sets have which grades: some sets have High, Mid and Low grades, but some just have Mid and Low, some High and Low, and some High and Mid only.
