byte modal Algintal Core Gallente Federation 34	Posted - 2013.01.15 17:54:00 - [1] - Quote I think I agree with Higgs. I've never used booster before, but decided to try the Merc Pack this weekend to help. I applied the passive SP booster to my main and the tick SEEMS to be the same as it was without. Perhaps it's not a perceptive difference counting seconds in my head ;) If Higgs actually used a stopwatch to measure, then what is correct? Does passive boost natural SP gain? To add, I applied a passive SP booster to an alt last night as well with no tick of SP. I assumed that the passive SP booster on an ALT would give that alt a slow passive trickle of SP over the 7-day booster life cycle. Is this a wrong assumption? If not, and I am correct in my assumption, then are passive SP booster working at all? My main with booster seems no different. My alt with booster is not gaining SP---or at least was not for the 20 minutes I checked, in addition to logging off and returning to game to see if it simply needed to ...whatever technical babble is applicable here! I will check again tonight to see if any passive SP has been added. I'm totally fine if I have misunderstood the intent of the booster. I would simply like to know one way or the other. - me.

To answer my own question (I was unable to log in last night to check status on my main and alt), yes you can use AUR purchased passive SP BOOSTERS on alts without the in-game default passive SP system active on the alt. When I applied both Active and Passive boosters to my main, all seemed good. This is APART from the original OP noting that the default in-game passive SP did not automatically start up again after the recent wipe. I did not notice this problem for several days. Apply the passive SP gain to an alt, then back to main corrected this without issue. Well, without issue beyond the annoyance of having several days' worth of potential passive SP lost ;) New topic. No, my problem/question was regarding using an AUR 7-day passive booster on an alt. When I first applied the booster to my alt, no SP was marked. Nothing changed. Logging out of game and returning still showed no change of displayed SP gains. I was under the assumption that the booster item would work on an alt, especially considering the "NOTE" in the item description regarding alt use, but I could find no proof of that. Perhaps I was wrong? I posted this question from work, unable to log in to see if any refresh had taken place. Again, last night, I was unable to log in to check one way or another. Now, looking at my alt, I can safely say that my ALT (that is, a character WITHOUT the in-game passive SP gain applied) is currently gaining passive SP due to the AUR purchased booster only. While a bit slow, it is steadily ticking upward every 6 seconds or so. I'm counting in my head here...no stop watches were harmed in the confirmation of this assumption. Working as intended. However, I am still lost as to why no SP was gained when I first applied the booster. I wish that I could have checked last night so that I have a better estimate of the loss gap between the SP count seemingly not refreshing and working properly now, but, such is dust. I hope this helps others as confused as I was ;) - me.

By seeing this thread at least I was able to get 1 of the 7 days of boosted training I had paid for I think you're misunderstanding. =( Your purchased booster should have been working all along. It was the default passive SP gain that we all set to run on our main (without additionally AUR purchased boosters) that was not working correctly. For whatever reason, that general passive sp gain did not start up automatically after the wipe. Purchase boosters did. Part of the problem was that with AUR 7-day boosters, most people saw that their skills were passively gaining so most never bothered to question whether the default passive SP gain was counting along with it or not. We all just assumed it was, until recently. The optional passive SP gain we can apply to ONE character failed to start on its own. Switching it to an alt, and then back again fixes that. The PURCHASED 7-day booster worked normally. Missed points are missed points, I know! I just want to make sure it's clear which is which. All the best, - me.

Chad, With so many ideas and misunderstandings pinging around here, maybe list out specifically what you have done in detail. Someone might be able to pick out which step was missed, if any. So we all know what you are dealing with, are you having problems with the default passive SP gain that can be applied to only one of your player characters? Are you have problems with your AUR purchased 7-day Passive Booster? Are you having problems with the Merc Pack 30--day Active Booster? All or none of the above? Or some combo? When you are on your character selection screen, you can select one of your alternate character icons and choose the set passive skill gain (or whatever it is listed as) on that alt character. Immediately after, set the passive gain back to your main. This has reset the passive gain for everyone that I know with the problem (not that I know a lot, just following the forums). Please note that this passive gain is only available on one character. Also note that this has nothing to do with any of the purchased skill boosters from the Merc Pack or Dust AUR market place. If you are having problems with that, please explain. Someone following along may have some more advice. All the best, - me.

If not, you may want to start a new thread under the Tech Support/Bug forums. Just be very specific with your topic subject text so noone assumes you're just another poster not paying attention to solutions already discussed elsewhere. Something to make your point like "Passive SP still not working even after switching to ALT" or something as along those lines .

Good luck, - me.
byte modal Algintal Core Gallente Federation 34	Posted - 2013.01.22 23:22:00 - [6] - Quote I should add, that my AUR 7-day passive booster ran out yesterday. Once I purchased a new one, and installed, I noticed no SP gain difference. I reset the default passive gain to alt, then back again, logged out and back. Seemed fine after. To a lesser degree, my question still remains: 1) Are 7-boosters actually activating the moment you inject them? Or are you required to log out and return for this to take affect. I did not know enough to check on my first booster. I tested an alt, and the 7-day booster did not activate on injection. It did not activate on logout and return. The second day I was unable to verify due to inability to get in day that day. 48 hours later, the booster was working. At what point between initial injection and logging back in did it start to function, I have no idea. 2) This second 7-day booster did not activate immediately upon injection either. I did log out and return, switched passive SP gain to an alt, and back again. One of these steps (or a combination of these steps?) worked. It will be 5.5 days before I am able to test this again, just one step at a time. next time I will simply log out and return to see if that will make a difference, though I do remember this not working for my alt. My suggestion is as someone else mentioned earlier: be proactive and switch your passive SP gain to alt and back each time you log in! I will necro this thread in a week if anything different comes up. Dead things, Mikey. Dead things.
