Drone Neurobinding is an unusual two-part process that combines neuroforging with skill training, breaking most of the rules the neuroforging mechanic follows for other item types. Neurobinding a drone requires a single Bindomite per drone, as other item types do, but a drone can only have one Neuromod each, chosen from three options. Once a drone is neurobound, it can be Neuroforged at any time without consuming a copy of the same drone - rather than enhancing the drone's modifier, this allows the player to freely swap the drone's neuromod between the three options.

Drone Neurobinding is an unusual two-part process that combines neuroforging with skill training, breaking most of the rules the neuroforging mechanic follows for other item types. Neurobinding a drone requires a single Bindomite per drone, as other item types do, but a drone can only have one Neuromod each, chosen from three options. Once a drone is neurobound, it can be Neuroforged at any time without consuming a copy of the same drone - rather than enhancing the drone's modifier, this allows the player to freely swap the drone's neuromod between the three options.


As an inherent benefit, a neurobound drone will inherit "passive mods" from non-augmenter gear items - if the player has Poseidon Shield equipped on their ship, for example, that player's neurobound drones will inherit the Energy Max mod from that item, in addition to the stats on the player's augmenters. It is currently assumed, but not fully confirmed, that this inheritance is affected by Drone Ops. Additionally, a neurobound drone is affected by three special skills that directly boost several of the drone's stats. As a cost to offset these significant benefits, the charging electricity consumed by a neurobound drone is doubled.

Where to Train

The three Neurobound Drone Skills, as with the neuromods that inherit them, are named Watchful, Insatiable, and Fortified. All three are trained in the same places, with the same requirements.

Location Base Name Accessibility Level Requirements
Platonic Academy Apodyterion 10 5 Honorary Mention
Platonic Academy Gymnasium 10 in Infinite Knowledge 20 3 Honorary Diploma
Allied Front L.R.S. Discovery P2P Only 22 10 Honorary Diploma
Paxian Foothold P.S.S. Pacification P2P Only 23 2 Honorary Doctorate

The minimum cost to train each skill totals 50 Honorary Mentions, 50 Honorary Diplomas, and 2 Honorary Doctorates, for a total training cost of 150 Mentions, 150 Diplomas, and 6 Doctorates.

Skill Effects

Each Neurobound Drone Skill grants multiple stats to the drones, scaling with level.

Skill Name First Effect Second Effect Third Effect Total Effects at Skill 23
Fortified 2.61% Range 4.35% Shield Bank 60% Range, 100% Shield Bank
Insatiable 2.17% Critical Strength -1.3% Electric Tempering 50% Critical Strength, -30% Electric Tempering
Watchful 1.39% Damage 1% Resilience 10.87% Radar 32% Damage, 23% Resilience, 250% Radar

As an added layer of this mechanic, Neurobound drones do not get the full benefits of all three skills. Instead, based on the Neuromod chosen for the drone, it will inherit a percentage of each skill's total bonuses, in the following pattern:

Drone Mod Inherits Fortified Inherits Insatiable Inherits Watchful
Fortified 100% 10% 50%
Insatiable 60% 100% 10%
Watchful 30% 10% 100%

As a result, when all three skills are trained to 23, Neurobound Drones get the following spread of benefits for each neuromod:

Drone Mod Range Shield Bank Critical Strength Electric Tempering Damage Resilience Radar
Fortified 60% 100% 5% -3% 16% 11.5% 125%
Insatiable 36% 60% 50% -30% 3.2% 2.3% 25%
Watchful 18% 30% 5% -3% 32% 23% 250%
