From Final Fantasy Wiki

Boost as seen in Final Fantasy VIII.

Boost is a recurring ability that increases damage. It is commonly associated with the Monk class or Summonings.

Appearances

Final Fantasy III

Used by Black Belts. Using it once increases damage dealt, while using it twice increases damage further. Using it three times will hurt the Black Belt and release all the stored energy.

Final Fantasy VIII

Guardian Forces' attacks are enhanced by Boost via timed button presses, which explains why they have such long cinematic cutscenes. The GFs Diablos, Carbuncle, Cerberus, and Cactuar don't have Boost, and their effects either do not do damage, or do a set amount of damage. A character's compatibility with a GF determines how much they can boost it before the animation ends. Removing Boost is not recommended, as there is no way to regain the Boost ability.

Final Fantasy IX

Boost is a support ability that enhances Garnet and Eiko's summons. Garnet can learn it for 190 AP, while Eiko can learn it for 150 AP, both from the Pumice Piece Add-on.

Final Fantasy X

Boost is a command that is available to the Aeons if you press right on the command menu. It allows the Aeon's Overdrive gauge to fill up quicker, at the cost of the Aeon taking more damage. It is the opposite of Shield.

Final Fantasy XI

Boost is used by Monks. It raises the next attack for approximately three minutes and is stackable. It works well in conjunction with Chi Blast and to increase enmity. Boost can be enhanced by wearing Temple Gloves.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

Boost is usable by Archers. It increases the power of their next attack. The Templar's Cheer is identical.

History

Gene Nation, a group of Morlocks whom Storm encountered and relocated to Africa. Boost is a mutant who functions like a living battery cell. He can augment other mutants' powers by a process called "body-jumping", wherein Boost merges with the other mutant and boost's their powers.

When the Humanity's Last Stand attacked the former Gene Nationals at their new home, Storm and the X-Men arrived to help. Unfortunately, so did Havok's Brotherhood of Mutants who offered the mutants protection against their enemies. Humanity's Last Stand were eventually defeated, and Boost, along with fellow former Gene National Tether, sought to leave, helping the Brotherhood escape in return for being dropped off at an unrevealed place of their choosing. Boost was affected after the Decimation, and lost his mutant powers.^[1]

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

A temporary skill boost is anything caused by an item, Summoning familiar, or action that temporarily raises a player's level in one or more skills. It allows the player to do things above his current level. For example, a Magic potion, which boosts a player's Magic level by five, will let a player cast High alchemy (which requires 55 Magic) with a Magic level of 50 to 54.

Temporary boosts do not stack - for example, a dwarven stout provides +1 mining and smithing, and a mature dwarven stout provides +2 to the same skills; using them together will not produce +3, but +2 as that is the maximum boost.

As is indicated by the name, a temporary skill boost does not last forever. Boosts decay back to the player's base level at a rate of 1 level per minute.

Uses

• Entering a guild that requires a certain skill level, such as drinking a dwarven stout to enter the Mining Guild.
• Doing an action that requires a higher level than the player is currently at, such as using a Fishing potion to fish sharks.
• Meeting the skill requirements of some quests, such as While Guthix Sleeps. Players should note that temporary boosts do not work on all quests.
• Performing tasks for Achievement Diaries.

Items that give temporary boosts

• Potions, such as the Hunter potion which boosts a player's Hunter level by three.
• Food, such as the Garden pie which boosts a player's Farming level by three.
• Drinks, such as the Wizard's mind bomb which boosts a player's Magic level by two or three depending on the player's Magic level.
• Summoning scrolls, such as the Tireless Run scroll which boosts a player's Agility level by two.
• Spicy stews - can only be accessed with completion of Evil Dave's section in the quest Recipe for Disaster. These are random and can boost OR lower a skill by up to six.
• Crystal saw, which provides an invisible boost of three to a player's Construction level. It allows players to build items as if their Construction level was three levels higher; this is an invisible boost and so can be used in conjunction with tea or stews.
• Capes of Accomplishment boost the corresponding skill level to 100/99 when the cape is equipped or operated. Prayer and Hitpoints skillcapes have a cool down period of 1 minute.

Invisible boosts

These boosts are not visible on the player's statistics screen, and most of them cannot allow a player to perform activities above his base level (an exception is the Crystal saw). Most invisible boosts are provided by Summoning familiars. For example, a Granite lobster provides an invisible Fishing boost of four levels, but does not allow a player with 72 Fishing to catch sharks, which require 76 Fishing; instead it allows the player to catch fish with the same speed as if they were four levels higher.

List of temporary boosts

This section or article is incomplete and could do with improvement. Reason: Still some missing; some alternative/negative effect of some may also be missing.
You can edit this page to improve it.

Notes

• A percentage boost is always rounded down.
• A reduction of x or more levels means the actual amount reduced depends on the player's level in the skills listed.

"Boost" was the nickname of a clone trooper who fought in the Clone Wars. Around 22 BBY, Boost was stationed on the Venator-class Star Destroyer, Triumphant. Along with two other Venator-class Star Destroyers, they chased General Grievous' warship, the Malevolence, to the Abregado system.

The Malevolence destroyed all three ships, but Boost, along with Jedi Plo Koon, Sergeant Sinker and Wolffe, managed to escape via an escape pod. They were attacked in their escape pod by Rocket battle droids on a Droch-class boarding ships, however, the group was able to defeat them. Eventually, Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano, rescued Koon and the clone troopers. Afterward, the Malevolence began to attack Skywalker's freighter, the Twilight, however, the group escaped and jumped into hyperspace.

Biography

Malevolence

"Boost" was the nickname of a clone trooper who was a part of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, a galaxy-wide conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems.^[2] Boost, like all clone troopers, was one of the many clones of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett.^[1] In the beginning of the war, Boost fought in the first battle of the war on the planet Geonosis. During the battle, Boost received scars after he fought battle droids.^[3]

Around 22 BBY,^[4] the Jedi High Council dispatched General Plo Koon to search for the Separatist "mystery weapon," which had destroyed several Republic fleets. Onboard the Venator-class Star Destroyer, Triumphant, Koon was accompanied by Boost and a group of clone troopers—few of which were: Commander CC-3636, nicknamed "Wolffe", and Sergeant Sinker. Upon discovering the Malevolence in the Abregado system, the warship fired its ion cannons on Koon's Venator-class Star Destroyer, which rendered the ship without energy. The many turbolasers of the Subjugator-class cruiser began to fire, quickly destroying the three ships. Koon told Boost, Wolffe and Sinker to evacuate the Triumphant in an escape pod, before it was destroyed by the Malevolence.^[2]

In the pod, Wolffe told them that they had suffered a total system blackout, and only the life support was working. Boost hoped that someone would search for them, but Sinker was not so positive thinking. After that Koon advised to conserve energy and while doing this, Sinker commented negatively about Boost's hygiene. Sinker also said that it would not be strategical to search for them, and that he would have instead searched for the superweapon, but Koon answered that their lives were more important for him. Shortly after Boost discovered another escape pod, but those inside were all dead and the pod was crushed. Shortly after, they pick up another signal from pod. However before reaching it, it was destroyed by a Droch-class boarding ship and its group of rocket battle droids, who then quickly turned their attention to Koon's pod. While Wolffe remained in the pod in order to keep their signal going, Koon, Sinker and Boost go out to fight the droids. During the fight, Wolffe contacted Padawan Ahsoka Tano, and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, on a rescue mission for survivors of the battle. Meanwhile, Plo Koon used the Force to throw Sinker behind the droids and he was able to destroy them. Shortly after, Plo Koon contacted Tano using the Force, showing her their location. Eventually, they were found by the Twilight, Skywalker's personal freighter and the Twilight then recovered the escape pod, and once onboard, the clones were treated by a medical droid. Shortly afterward, the Malevolence discovered the Twilight. Despite their attempts to shut down all the ships energy, they had forgotten the medical droid. Still, the Twilight managed to escape the system before it was able to be incapacitated by the ion cannons of Malevolence.^[2]

Khorm

Sinker and Boost on Khorm.

Boost, Sinker and Wolffe were members of a Republic force dispatched to the Separatist-occupied planet Khorm in order to secure the Agrocite, an ore used to increase power to starfighters. Under the command of Jedi Generals Koon and Kit Fisto, and Major Kendal Ozzel, the Republic managed to capture an Agrocite processing facility, only to lose it soon thereafter in a Separatist counterattack. Later, while Plo Koon and Kit Fisto went ahead to scout out the main Confederate base located in an Agrocite mine, Major Ozzel led his troops to recapture the processing facility. The facility, however, had been abandoned, and Ozzel—certain that the Republic had crushed the enemy—ordered to initiate an assault on the Agrocite mine.^[5]

In contrast to Ozzel, Boost and Sinker thought that the Confederacy had moved its troops for a reason and was preparing to make a final stand at the mine. The two expressed their opinion to Wolffe, but he replied that they had their orders and told Boost to load the Republic walkers into landing ships. Just as Boost and Sinker thought, the Republic forces faced heavy opposition from the Separatists, but eventually managed to win the battle.^[5]

Personality and traits

Boost was a positive thinking clone trooper. When stuck in an escape pod, he never gave up hope that someone would come and rescue the group. ^[2]

Behind the scenes

Boost first appeared in the second episode of the The Clone Wars (TV series), Rising Malevolence. There he was voiced like all clone troopers through the series by Dee Bradley Baker.^[6] In the decoded episode of Cloak of Darkness it is stated that many troopers who fought at the Battle of Tibrin have adopted double stripe hairstyle to honor their fallen comrades, so it is possible the Boost served in that battle.
