[Ø] Welcome to Takun's Control Symbiants Guide [Ø]
Ø Heavily Under Construction Ø
What are Symbiants?
Slowly bubbling, the Symbiants are age old living creatures created with Spirit-Tech. They once resided in the Ancient Inhabitants of the Shadowlands.
On a more technical note:
Symbiants are the implants of the shadowlands expansion. They require 3 Attributes plus treatment to get on. Unlike implants (void jobe) they are level locked as well as profession locked. To compensate for the greater requirement of skills to get them on, the symbiants tend to buff a greater number of skills then normal implants, for example any brain implant can only buff 3 things at a time, the control unit brain buffs an amazing 30 skills!
The down side of symbiants:
While they buff more things at a given time, they generally buff less in each individual skill then implants, for example the QL 160 Control Brain while requiring about the same amount of treatment to get in as a QL 200 brain implant, it only buffs 81 treatment where as a QL 200 brain implant buffs treatment by 105... as both the implants and the symbiants grow in quality the gap closes but as seen in QL 300 implants vs QL 300 symbiants the implants still give more skill. (This can be ruled out by trickle down but I wont get into that)
The other down side is that fact that they require 3 different attributes to a certain Number to get in, vs implants which require only one.
About
The main reason I'm writing this guide is because I feel that, although most of this information is out there, its out there in bits and pieces and most of it isn't as detailed as I personally would like it to be.
So who are you?
As you can see in my signature I'm Takun. I'm a symbiant sales men on RK1 - I buy, sell and farm symbiants on/for the Atlantian Markets. I also have 5 characters that use control unit symbiants thus I'm quite familiar with them...
Questions:
Any lay out / Link / Visual Problems?
In General, Things to Add, To Remove?
Questions Comments?
If so leave a post! Even if its some minor spelling error I'd like this guide to be perfect.

Sidenotes: As this is about pocketbosses and symbs im going to skip over all the Nasc Symbs as personally I don't see the point in using them and you shouldn't be using them anyways!
