Booster

This article is about temporary-affect consumables. For the character level booster, see Level-80 Boost.

A booster is a type of consumable that provides various effects, such as bonuses to attributes, increase in rewards, and movement speed. Boosters persist on a character for their full duration. Being downed, defeated, or traveling to another map will not remove them. Any remaining time of booster effects remains on log out or character changing.

Any number of boosters of different types may be consumed together and their effects will all be active.
