== Inspiration Slots ==


A character starts with three inspiration slots at level one, and gradually increases to a maximum of 20 inspiration slots at level 40.  The progression is below:
=== Inspiration Slots ===
 
A character starts with three inspiration slots in their [[Inspirations Window]] at level one, and gradually increases to a maximum of 20 inspiration slots at level 40.  The progression is below:


* Level 1: 3 slots (1 row of 3 columns)
* Level 1: 3 slots (1 row of 3 columns)

By default, the F1 through F5 keys on the keyboard are mapped to trigger the bottom inspirations in columns one through five, respectively.  It is common to keep similar inspiration types within the same column so that a needed inspiration of a specific type may be used quickly without adjusting the position of the mouse pointer.
By default, the F1 through F5 keys on the keyboard are mapped to trigger the bottom inspirations in columns one through five, respectively.  It is common to keep similar inspiration types within the same column so that a needed inspiration of a specific type may be used quickly without adjusting the position of the mouse pointer.


For example, a player may always place healing inspirations (Respite, Dramatic Improvement, and Resurgence) into the first row.  In an intense battle, the player can then simply press F1 on his or her keyboard to use a healing inspiration instead of moving the mouse pointer away from the battle to the inspiration tray.  If a player has more than one healing inspiration in the first row, he or she can quickly press F1 again to use another inspiration if needed.

=== Inspiration Levels ===
 
There are currently four levels, or tiers,  of inspirations; ''Small'', ''Medium'', ''Large'', and ''Super''. As a character rises in levels, they will find higher tiers of inspirations drop from defeated enemies. Defeating an [[archvillain]]/[[hero]] will always drop a large inspiration, while super inspirations can be obtained by selecting them from reward tables of [[Incarnate Trial]]s or through the [[Incarnate Merit Vendor]] in [[Ouroboros]].
 
Note that Super Inspirations cannot currently be combined into other types.
 
== Single Type Inspirations ==


== Current Active Inspirations ==

== Other Inspirations ==


The following inspirations are defined, but at this time they are not implemented in the game.
== Obtaining Inspirations ==
 
=== Shopping ===
 
You may only buy tier 1 or first level inspirations (the first and weakest in each group of three above). Awakens cost 150 but all other inspirations cost 50 Infamy/Influence.
 
Most mission contacts in City of Villains and newer areas of City of Heroes such as [[Faultline]] immediately sell all types of inspirations upon being introduced. However, many contacts (particularly the older contacts in City of Heroes) initially only sell three types of inspiration (Luck, Catch a Breath, and Enrage) and the rest have to be unlocked through completing their missions. During [[Task Force]]s, [[Strike Force]]s, and [[Trial]]s, access to normal contacts is removed, so these sources of inspirations are unavailable.
 
However, there are also permanent stores which always sell inspirations. The [[Arena#Arena Stores|Arena shopkeepers]] sell all first level inspirations except Awakens. [[Hospital]]s and field hospitals have nurses who sell inspirations.  [[Pocket D]] has bartenders located on the second floor of each side that sell all types of inspirations; there is also a [[Banished Pantheon]] [[Banished Pantheon#Bosses|Spirit Mask]] bartender in the [[Tiki Room|Tiki Lounge]] which sells inspirations. [[Ouroboros]] contains Mender Roebuck who also sells inspirations.
 
A [[Supergroup]] may also unlock a [[Tree of Wonders]] or an [[Auto-Doc]] which can be placed in a [[Supergroup Base|base]]. These devices can sell Respites and Catch a Breaths, but will also buy inspirations from players. This is the only way to directly sell back inspirations, although they can also be sold to other players through [[Wentworth's Fine Consignments]] and the [[Black Market]]. It is also possible to unlock the [[Contemplation Charts|Contemplation Chart]], or [[Combat Logs|Combat Log]] which sell Break Frees (for 100 inf rather than the usual 50 inf), but do not buy inspirations.  Bases can also hold inspiration storage units, where inspirations may be deposited for later use.
 
=== Drops ===
 
So long as you have an empty inspiration slot, you have a chance of getting a random Inspiration after defeating an enemy. The most common are small ones. Medium ones sometimes happen, and large ones rarely.  Medium and large drops are more common from defeating a boss enemy; Arch-Villain or Hero class enemies always drop large inspirations.
 
=== Siren's Call ===
 
You can trade in "[[Bounty]]" for medium-sized Inspirations. Some inspirations are only available by this method:
 
[[File:Inspiration_Mes_Protect_Lvl_2.png]] '''Strength of Will:''' Resist Effects<br />
Moderately boosts your resistance to immobilization, sleep, disorient and hold effects for 180 seconds. Must be used before you are slept, held or disoriented, but can be used after being immobilized.
 
=== Base Storage ===
 
Inspirations can also be gathered from the [[Inspiration Collector]] or [[Inspiration Storage]] base items, if they have been stocked by supergroup members.

Overview

Inspirations are single-use temporary boosts. There are several different inspiration types that provide various ability increases. Three inspirations of the same type can be combined into one inspiration of different type.

Inspiration Slots

A character starts with three inspiration slots in their Inspirations Window at level one, and gradually increases to a maximum of 20 inspiration slots at level 40. The progression is below:

  • Level 1: 3 slots (1 row of 3 columns)
  • Level 2: 4 slots (1 row of 4 columns)
  • Level 3: 8 slots (2 rows of 4 columns)
  • Level 10: 10 slots (2 rows of 5 columns)
  • Level 25: 15 slots (3 rows of 5 columns)
  • Level 40: 20 slots (4 rows of 5 columns)

By default, the F1 through F5 keys on the keyboard are mapped to trigger the bottom inspirations in columns one through five, respectively. It is common to keep similar inspiration types within the same column so that a needed inspiration of a specific type may be used quickly without adjusting the position of the mouse pointer.

For example, a player may always place healing inspirations (Respite, Dramatic Improvement, and Resurgence) into the first column. In an intense battle, the player can then simply press F1 on his or her keyboard to use a healing inspiration instead of moving the mouse pointer away from the battle to the inspiration tray. If a player has more than one healing inspiration in the first row, he or she can quickly press F1 again to use another inspiration if needed.

Inspiration Levels

There are currently four levels, or tiers, of inspirations; Small, Medium, Large, and Super. As a character rises in levels, they will find higher tiers of inspirations drop from defeated enemies. Defeating an archvillain/hero will always drop a large inspiration, while super inspirations can be obtained by selecting them from reward tables of Incarnate Trials or through the Incarnate Merit Vendor in Ouroboros.

Note that Super Inspirations cannot currently be combined into other types.

These inspirations improve a single area when used. An Enrage inspriation, for instance, will only improve the Damage attribute until its duration ends.

This Inspiration has a duration of 3 minutes. While it is active, no additional Ultimates can be activated. Additionally, pets will not benefit from Ultimate even if you use one before summoning the pet. This includes normal pets, Mastermind Henchmen and Lore pets. The Inspiration can, however, be used by Masterminds on any entity which appears in their pet window if you give the inspiration to it directly.

Winter Event Inspirations

Main article: Present

These "presents" were available during all the Winter Events. The actual effect of using a present inspiration is not known until the present is actually used. At that point, one of the six actions listed below will happen.

It should be noted that it is possible to discern the 'contents' of most present inspiration prior to its use by right clicking the present, selecting info, and reading the Detailed Info tab. The Gift of Experience and the Lump of Coal give no indication in the Detailed Info tab, though the Gift of Experience can be differentiated from the Lump of Coal by checking the Effect Area data. The Gift of Experience says it's an 20' AoE, while the Lump of Coal is a Single Target. The contents can also be revealed by dragging the present to the chat box to form a link and comparing the link to the list below.

Specific presents can be used with the /InspExecName slash command.

Obtaining Inspirations

Shopping

You may only buy tier 1 or first level inspirations (the first and weakest in each group of three above). Awakens cost 150 but all other inspirations cost 50 Infamy/Influence.

Most mission contacts in City of Villains and newer areas of City of Heroes such as Faultline immediately sell all types of inspirations upon being introduced. However, many contacts (particularly the older contacts in City of Heroes) initially only sell three types of inspiration (Luck, Catch a Breath, and Enrage) and the rest have to be unlocked through completing their missions. During Task Forces, Strike Forces, and Trials, access to normal contacts is removed, so these sources of inspirations are unavailable.

However, there are also permanent stores which always sell inspirations. The Arena shopkeepers sell all first level inspirations except Awakens. Hospitals and field hospitals have nurses who sell inspirations. Pocket D has bartenders located on the second floor of each side that sell all types of inspirations; there is also a Banished Pantheon Spirit Mask bartender in the Tiki Lounge which sells inspirations. Ouroboros contains Mender Roebuck who also sells inspirations.

A Supergroup may also unlock a Tree of Wonders or an Auto-Doc which can be placed in a base. These devices can sell Respites and Catch a Breaths, but will also buy inspirations from players. This is the only way to directly sell back inspirations, although they can also be sold to other players through Wentworth's Fine Consignments and the Black Market. It is also possible to unlock the Contemplation Chart, or Combat Log which sell Break Frees (for 100 inf rather than the usual 50 inf), but do not buy inspirations. Bases can also hold inspiration storage units, where inspirations may be deposited for later use.

Drops

So long as you have an empty inspiration slot, you have a chance of getting a random Inspiration after defeating an enemy. The most common are small ones. Medium ones sometimes happen, and large ones rarely. Medium and large drops are more common from defeating a boss enemy; Arch-Villain or Hero class enemies always drop large inspirations.

Siren's Call

You can trade in "Bounty" for medium-sized Inspirations. Some inspirations are only available by this method:

Inspiration Mes Protect Lvl 2.png Strength of Will: Resist Effects
Moderately boosts your resistance to immobilization, sleep, disorient and hold effects for 180 seconds. Must be used before you are slept, held or disoriented, but can be used after being immobilized.

Base Storage

Inspirations can also be gathered from the Inspiration Collector or Inspiration Storage base items, if they have been stocked by supergroup members.
