Buffing Guide


Often times in Anarchy Online you will find yourself requiring a buff from someone to either get on a new weapon, equip an implant or symbiant or make use of a new piece of armor. Particularly as a new player it might be hard to figure out which buffs can help you in your task. The goal of this guide is to have a complete listing of all these nano buffs, as well as which of them are stackable.

Note: None of the buffs listed are so-called "self-only" buffs.
Buffs in the same Nanoline do not stack with each other.
FPable indicates whether or not agents can cast it under False Profession
All buffs below stack with Expertises and Attribute Boosts

Weapon Skills


The Wrangle


Most buffs only modifies one or two weapon skills. The wrangles on the other hand increases all weapon and nano skills (Note: Only weapon skills, not specials.) making it one of the most sought after buffs in game. It is short in duration (3 minutes) and debuffs the trader casting it for the same duration (the Shadowlands Umbral Wrangler is an aura and refreshes continuously without debuffing the trader). So rather than include the Wrangles in all the weapon skills listings, the different wrangles and which weapons it buffs will be listed here.

Skills buffed by The Wrangle:
  • Heavy Weapons
  • 1h Blunt
  • 2h Blunt
  • 1h Edged
  • 2h Edged
  • Melee Energy
  • Piercing
  • Martial Arts
  • Grenade
  • Ranged Energy
  • Bow
  • Pistol
  • Rifle
  • MG/SMG
  • Shotgun
  • Assault Rifle
  • Sharp Objects
  • Biological Metamorphosis
  • Sensory Improvement
  • Psychological Modification
  • Material Metamorphosis
  • Space Time
  • Material Creation


Note: How much Umbral Wrangles buff depends on how many perks, if any, the trader has in Distill Life.

Nanoskills


Note: Meta-Physicists can buff all nano skills both individually which require no level lock or as "composites" that buff all nanoskills at once, and require level locks.

MP Buffs stack with expertises as well as Trader wrangles.

Single Teachings


Single Nanoskills do not require Shadowlands, but can be taxing on NCU at as the level of the buff increases.
