Infections and Transformations
| Question
|
Answer
|
| What are infections? |
Infections are the transformations proper. They alter how your head, arms, legs, etc look. There are over 400 infections of a wide variety, you can mix and match them or be a full infection!
|
| How do I get infected? |
There are 4 ways: Fighting normally and getting hit by enemy powers; Losing a fight to an enemy; Drinking infection vials; Asking a Coyote player.
|
| I like this combination of infections I got, can I make them permanent? |
If you buy a Nanite Schema Nativizer (which is pretty expensive), you can use the item and nativize the form. You can also get the Ultimate Infection Resistance perk, which will completely prevent your character from transforming again. Genital sizes might still change.
|
| It costs too much! Isn't there an alternative? |
There is a temporary one: the Form Fixative item, sold at [Arogya Clinic]: Main Area. It costs 1000 creds and locks your current form for 24 hours.
|
| What is a native form? |
It is a form combination that you can, at any time, revert back to. For instance, say you used the Nanite Schema Nativizer while you were a Polar Bear with Shadow Dragon skin. If you lose any of those infections, you can freely revert back to it with the SHIFT NATIVE command.
|
| What is form mastery? |
Beside the one time freecred bonus, that means that, if you get the Nanite Adept dedication, you can freely shift into that form. Coyote players also won't need to spend battery charge transforming you into a form you already have mastered.
|
| I keep losing/gaining genitals/breasts! How can I avoid that? |
Like the infections, you can also opt to: 1- Buy a perk and completely lock your character's genitals and breasts from changing; 2- Buy a

| What are Generic Boss Vials? |
leveling up.
|
| Do I need to filter a vial before drinking it? |
No. You can drink an unfiltered vial (Boss Infection Vial: Feral name) and it will count, so long as it is within the proper level.

| Question? |
Answer!
|
| At what levels do I need to drink the vials? |
You only need to drink vials at levels 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 and 55
|
| What does filtering a vial do? |
It turns the boss vial into a generic one, also setting its level to the closest multiple of 5. A lvl 48 vial will be set to 50, a lvl 51 will be set to 50.
|
| What are Generic Boss Vials? |
These are boss vials that have been filtered. They won't infect you with any form, but still count for leveling up.
|
| Do I need to filter a vial before drinking it? |
No. You can drink an unfiltered vial (Boss Infection Vial: Feral name) and it will count, so long as it is within the proper level.
|
| What use is there for an unfiltered boss vial? |
You can use it to immediately master the form it carries. You can also use it to Epic a power, if the form has said power.
|
| What level the vial needs to be to be effective? |
For leveling purposes, the vial needs to be within 5 levels of yours. At level 30, a level 25 boss vial will work just as well as a lvl 35 vial.
|
| Drinking vials before the proper levels does anything? |
No. Using a boss vial when you're not in the proper level (a multiple of 5) is a total waste.
|
| Where should I go to hunt primes? |
Check the terminal at Zephyr or RSX's first upper floor (it's listed among the things in the room). The primes will always be summoned at the highest level of the area. Summoning a prime at Nightclub (10-28), for instance, will summon a lvl 28 prime.
|
| Is there a minimum number of people required to summon a prime? |
No. But it's highly recommended to fight with a large group, both to make it easier and to have more people gaining the vials!
|
| The Non-Violent Progress perk gives me a vial when it procs? |
No. It gives the effect of drinking a generic vial of the appropriate level.
