'''EDITOR'S NOTE: As of December 2nd 2008 and the release of "Issue 13: Power and Responsibility" all base salvage has been removed from recepies and replaced with invention salvage. As such all crafting requirements listed below have changed and need to be updated. Information pertaining to the salvage required to create a buff is therefore obsolete. Updated information is forthcoming.'''
Empowerment Stations are base items that craft temporary powers (empowerment buffs) as well as other Empowerment Stations.


Empowerment Stations are base items that perform two functions. First, they craft [[component]] salvage from normal base salvage, based upon which type of station they are ([[Arcane]] or [[Tech]]). A tech station can craft every kind of tech component salvage and an arcane station can likewise craft every kind of arcane component salvage.  
Their primary function is to craft temporary powers from invention salvage. These temporary powers are passive buffs which affect the crafting character only, cannot be stacked, and last for one hour of in game time (the in-game text incorrectly says 15 minutes). The buff takes effect immediately upon crafting. They will persist even if the character is defeated.


A station's primary function, however, is to grant temporary [[buff]]s that are crafted from component salvage. The list of available buff recipes is in the Empowerment Buffs folder in the station's menu. Each level of station can make all buffs available from lower-level stations as well as its own. All empowerment buffs last for one hour of in game time (the in-game text incorrectly says 15 minutes). The buff takes effect immediately upon crafting. They will persist even if your character is defeated.
{{bug|As of [[Patch Notes/2011-11-15|2011-11-15]], if a character is defeated, the power will persist but stop functioning after resurrection (regardless of resurrection source: self-rez, team rez, inspiration, or hospital trip).}}


The tier I stations are used to craft the tier II stations, which in turn are used to craft the tier III stations.
Their secondary function is to craft the next tier of Empowerment Station of the same type (arcane or tech). Tier I stations are used to craft the Tier II stations, which in turn are used to craft the Tier III stations.


===Tier I Empowerment Stations===
'''NOTE:''' Tier I stations are located in the "Arcane Empowerment" or "Tech Empowerment" tabs, not under the Workshop tabs.

Overview

Empowerment Stations are base items that craft temporary powers (empowerment buffs) as well as other Empowerment Stations.

Their primary function is to craft temporary powers from invention salvage. These temporary powers are passive buffs which affect the crafting character only, cannot be stacked, and last for one hour of in game time (the in-game text incorrectly says 15 minutes). The buff takes effect immediately upon crafting. They will persist even if the character is defeated.

Badge bughunter 01.png Bug! As of 2011-11-15, if a character is defeated, the power will persist but stop functioning after resurrection (regardless of resurrection source: self-rez, team rez, inspiration, or hospital trip).

Their secondary function is to craft the next tier of Empowerment Station of the same type (arcane or tech). Tier I stations are used to craft the Tier II stations, which in turn are used to craft the Tier III stations.

NOTE: Tier I stations are located in the "Arcane Empowerment" or "Tech Empowerment" tabs, not under the Workshop tabs.

NOTE: You need not earn badges to craft any of these.
