Act Fast: Winter Nexus Accelerators Expire Soon

TL;DR
“Brainfreeze” cerebral accelerators from the Winter Nexus event expire on February 13th. Use them before then to maximize SP gains.

The Story
The “Brainfreeze” cerebral accelerators, a staple of the Winter Nexus event, are set to expire on February 13th. If you have any remaining in your inventory, make sure to activate them before the deadline. While the accelerators must be used by the expiration date, their effects will persist for the full duration once activated.

If you want to acquire skill points efficiently, consider buying additional accelerators from the market. At current Forge prices, all three types of “Brainfreeze” accelerators—Basic, Potent, and Extended—remain the most ISK-efficient way to earn skill points, regardless of your character’s total SP. With the Biology skill at Level 5, here’s what you can expect in SP gains:

• Basic: 17,280 SP

• Potent: 34,560 SP

• Extended: 77,760 SP

The Impact
The fact that these accelerators offer excellent ISK/SP efficiency but will expire soon means their prices can be unpredictable. Spikes are possible as the expiration date approaches, so it’s worth keeping an eye on the market. That said, barring any major price movements, you can’t really go wrong using them to boost your skill training.
