Does this mean the skill points you receive in battle will be increased 50%, but once you reach weakly skill cap that would be 50% of like 200sp making it not worth getting unless you're at the start of a weed?


Also does the bonus SP count towards weekly cap, in other words does this just make your SP gain faster, so you don't have to play as many games, or does it enable 50% total bonus SP that week compared to someone without the active booster on?

edit: Also what is the weekly SP soft cap amount?

The active booster increases the SP you earn from matches by 50%, as well as increases your cap for the week by 50%. If/when you do hit the cap, you're still getting 50% more until the booster runs out or the cap resets. So, if you're capped, you'll get 1500 SP instead of 1000 SP (as long as you contribute enough in battle.)

I believe the weekly soft cap without a booster is 190,000 and with a booster it's around 280,000.

I hope I helped.

That helps a lot. So lets say I'm capped for the week. There is no loss in using the weekly active booster because my cap will be raised 50% as well as getting 50% more per match?

Not sure if activating a booster after hitting the weekly cap will give you the 50% boost in cap but it would still boost the hard cap of a 1000 to 1500 per match so i wouldn't waste a weekly one on seeing if you get the boosted cap I would suggest maybe trying a 1 day one so as to not waste a week if it will not get you the extra 95,200 an active booster will give you for the weekly cap

You bring up a good question actually. I would assume that any 'bonus' SP you earn expands the SP limit. I don't think that the act of activating a booster for 1 day will raise the cap by 50% for the entire week, that would not be a very good business plan on CCP part.

I think how it works is that if you say use a 3-day booster and hit your cap within those 3 days, you'll get the full benefit of the booster increasing the limit. However if lets say you only get half of your cap done in those 3 days, the total limit for the week would only increase by 25%, instead of the full 50%.

Some Dev insight on this would actually be much appreciated. I'm running out of 30 day boosters and I want to know if I should buy 7 day or 3 day boosters from the market.

Buying the merc pack will save you 28,000 AUR on 4 active boosters that you could rather use on 4 passive boosters for even more weekly SP and extra AUR for equipment!!!
