Notes

• The MP cost of this skill depends on the amount of SPAM and ASHRAM chips installed in your Source Terminal. SPAM chips decrease it by 1 MP each up to a maximum of 10 installed, whereas an ASHRAM chip decreases it by 5 MP with it only being possible to install one.

• The chip and file drops works as follows:
  • The base chance of getting a chip of any kind is 1/1000, and the base chance of getting a file of any kind is 1/400. You cannot get a file on a turn where you get a chip.
  • The following drop rate improvements are applied in the following order, as relevant:
    • Wearing the source shades doubles the drop chance of chips and files.
    • Using the software bug familiar makes the rate for chips 1/800 (or 1/300 if rate was doubled due to source shades), and doubles the drop chance of files.
    • Fighting any monster from A Shimmering Portal doubles the drop chance of chips.
    • Fighting an Anime Smiley, QuickBASIC elemental, BASIC Elemental, or digital underground dweller doubles the drop chance of files.
  • The maximum drop chance for a chip (when fighting an el vibrato monster with source shades and software bug) is 1/150.
  • The maximum drop chance for a file (when fighting a special monster with source shades and software bug) is 1/50.
