Here's a quick rundown on what PowerUps are, and why you might want to use them.

1) To use one of them, open up your PowerUp tray. (See the little red arrow pointing up on the left side of your ring tray? Click that and it'll bring up the power-up tray.)

2) Any PowerUps you have will be displayed there. PowerUps come with a certain number of charges. Some have only a few charges, but each charge has a long duration, while others have lots of charges, but don't last long when used.

3) There are three types of PowerUps currently:

- Superchargers : These little babies replenish BOTH health and stamina. They don't cost any Stamina to use them, so they can be REALLY useful in battle when you're starting to run low on juice, or if you're taking so much damage that you can't heal it all with your rings. They can really get you out of trouble. (NOTE: You can only use one every 15 seconds.)

- Ring Buffers: When you expend a charge from this item, then ALL of your currently equipped rings operate at 150% normal effectiveness for an entire *hour*! This can be enormously effective for you since that means all offensive and defensive powers, as well as stat changes, are all made that much more powerful while using them. If you think about it, this can be even more useful than the Superchargers.

- Double Orb: These PowerUps make you more efficient at gathering charge energy from defeated opponents. Thus, you get twice as many charge orbs from a defeated foe as you normally would, which can then be put into your rings to advance their Charge Level.

The pricing on PowerUps is designed to be extremely inexpensive. PowerUps lasting a few minutes usually cost less than two cents per charge, whereas PowerUps lasting an hour are still less than a dime per use.

NOTE: PowerUps gained as quest reward or loot are soulbound to you (they cannot be traded or sold). However, any PowerUps purchased directly from Back Alley Bargains are *not* soulbound and can be traded freely on the Marketplace or given as gifts to your friends.

Enjoy!
