Editing Specials

{{Items and trading sidebar}}
'''Specials''' are a separate class from ordinary [[Items]]. Each one is tracked individually and can carry its own attributes, such as an expiry date, a target action or a pet species. Some types can be found from [[Loot Actions]]. They do not stack like Items, although identical copies can be grouped on the interface, and in most cases they cannot be given to other players.

Specials can provide effects beyond normal play. [[Calibrated Amplifier|Calibrated Amplifiers]] and [[Arbitrary Amplifier|Arbitrary Amplifiers]] boost [[Actions]], while [[Noetic Pulsator|Noetic Pulsators]] reset Action cooldowns. [[Forbidden Modifier|Forbidden Modifiers]] raise [[Tools|Tool]] Multipliers beyond their natural limit.

== Where they come from ==

Specials are mostly handed out by events and limited rewards: seasonal [[Quests]] rewards, [[Achievements]], [[Bosses]] prizes, [[Burn]] leaderboard prizes and the Special Store. You do not need to be a late game player to get one, so watch the current events.

== Removed Specials ==

Former Specials include [[Overloaded Amplifier]], [[Mercurial Amplifier]] and [[Forged Banknote]]. See [[:Category:Removed specials]] for historical articles.

== Using Specials ==

* Several types can be used many at a time: [[Forbidden Modifier|Forbidden Modifiers]], [[Fairy Ring|Fairy Rings]], [[Golden Lariat|Golden Lariats]], [[Genesis Egg|Genesis Eggs]] and [[XenoServer|XenoServers]] (once you choose a Tool or Bay).
* Copies that expire soonest are used first.
* Check each Special's expiry and attributes before using it. Copies of the same type can differ.

== Global and self-only ==

[[Calibrated Amplifier|Calibrated Amplifiers]], [[Arbitrary Amplifier|Arbitrary Amplifiers]] and [[Noetic Pulsator|Noetic Pulsators]] have shared effects: using one affects every online player on your profile type. Main and Ironman have separate shared boost pools, so an effect from one does not reach the other.

Hardcore profiles receive no shared effects. Hardcore players can still get '''self-only''' copies of these Specials, which apply to their own profile alone. See [[Profile Modes]].

Players often organise a "party" where several Amplifiers and Pulsators are used together with [[Boss]] activity. Announce a Pulsator in chat first so others can use their ready actions.

== Connections ==

* Specials affect [[Actions]], [[Tools]], the [[Farm]], [[Pets]] and the [[Relay Network]].
* They are separate from [[Items]] and cannot be sold on the [[Market]].
* Item Boosts and Specials both work on actions; see [[Boosts]].
