Power Sources

How Power Sources Work
Each Power Source (also known as Energeian orb) is actually an augmentation behind the scenes, which fits snugly into those hidden type 1 and type 2 slots on Energeian and other gear.

As an example, take this aug which is tradeskilled: Murky Energeian Earth Orb MAGIC ITEM Slot: POWER SOURCE Power: 1000000/1000000 Required level of 50. WT: 0.5 Size: TINY Class: ALL Race: ALL

Behind the scenes, you gain an aug called Earth when you equip it - at full power, the stats are:
 * Earth
 * MAGIC ITEM AUGMENTATION
 * Slot: HEAD FACE EAR NECK SHOULDERS ARMS BACK WRIST RANGE HANDS PRIMARY SECONDARY FINGER CHEST LEGS FEET WAIST
 * AC: 5
 * STR: +15 DEX: -15 STA: +15 CHA: +5 AGI: -15
 * HP: +25 MANA: +25 ENDUR: +25
 * SV DISEASE: +25
 * WT: 0.0 Size: TINY
 * Class: ALL
 * Race: ALL

So, if you equip a murky earth orb and are wearing praetorian armor (purity: 50) you'll get half those stats applied to each item - 12 HPs, 2 AC etc. If you then upgrade to raid armor (purity: 75) with the same orb equipped, you'll get 75% of the stats applied to each item - 18 HPs, 3 AC etc.

Different level orbs correspond to different augs behind the scenes, with greater stats the better the orb.

The Buried Sea Energeian Power Sources

 * EQ Wiki Combine Power Sources
 * Solteris Raid Level Power Sources

Notes:
 * Murky Orbs are available at amiable (12 regular missions?) faction while Translucent are available at ally (48 regular missions) faction.
 * Murky Orbs can be sold back to the vendor for 2 Orux and Translucent for 3 (am unsure if you can sell back a completely empty orb).
 * A complete set of Energeian armor/weapons is 10 items, so multiple the above values by 10 to get the overall modifier.
 * The above stats are recorded for an item with 50 purity. Items with less purity will have less stats and vice-versa. All ally armor seem to have 50 purity while amiable armor has 45.
 * The power source does drain faster the more equipment you have. With just one piece it is around 2/sec, with 10 it is 25 or so.
 * All of the stun procs cap at level 65/70.
 * Procs will vary (some of them at least) when using two handed weapons.

Murky Orbs
Murky Orbs are available for 15 Orux in Katta Castrum once you reach amiable faction. They have a required level of 70. The following stats are for an item with 50 Purity. Items with less purity will have appropriately less stats.

Translucent Orbs
Translucent Orbs are available for 20 Orux each in Katta Castrum once you reach ally faction. They have a required level of 75. They have much of the same base stats as the Murky Orbs but have more powerful proc effects. The following stats are for an item with 50 Purity. Items with less purity will have appropriately less stats. [Thanks to Reorx Holybeard - 75th Cleric of Brell, Tunare Server]

Player made Power Sources
Sealed Orbs become NO TRADE once they are opened for use.

Unlocking them
Player made Power Sources can not be used until they are unlocked, which also makes them NO TRADE. To unlock them, the character must have completed the Solteris raids (all seven) or a number of Secrets of Faydwer and/or Seeds of Destruction raids.

Any Seeds of Destruction Raid (Queen Malarian, Blackburrow, Baghresh, Kurns Tower / FoScale / Kurns Library, Crystalline Tyrannont / Rallos Returns / Zek Bros, Korafax (any), Discord Tower (any))

Any instanced Secrets of Faydwer (Mining Behemoth / Power Station / Spindlecrank, Soulbleeder, Meldrath Mansion (any), Crystallos (any))

From the February 11, 2009 patch message: Tradeskilled Pure Powersources can now be unlocked with many of the flagging SoF and SoD raids. Past kills will work to unlock these items.
