An amazing nano for low levelled twinks to buff damage. These do still drop in-game, but is very hard to obtain:

First, get into jobe BY (through the /stuck method, see linked youtube video). Then you go to the southern edge of the playfield where the hecklers are. There's 1 special heckler called the heckler of evolution. Killing it spawns 1 more heckler of evolution, and a few hecklers of normality (these are decoys). Chain kill the hecklers of evolution (there are a total of 6 of them), ignoring the normal heckler decoys. Upon killing the 6th, there's a 50% chance a 'greedy heckler' spawns. If you kill it, it drops a badly corrupted nano that can be an old school expertise/incompetence/etc. This nano is one of them, but the drop rate is something like ~0.1%. The corrupted nano can be repaired

This expertise is the only buff that gives you +20 tutoring, since composites do not buff tutoring.

The easiest way to get this buff is to use a hacked boosted graft: tutoring expertise. Those can occcasionally be bought from the Smuggler Broker in Smuggler's Den: https://www.ao-universe.com/guides/classic-ao/tradeskill-guides-6/gadgets-5/hacking-grafts

This is one of the expertises that stacks with composites, giving you an extra +20 RE. Great for ranged energy users at any level!

The best place to farm this is in low levelled statics in Nascence. Check and unlock every chest, and expect a long grind. You can fix corrupted nanocrystals you find to turn them into proper crystals: https://www.ao-universe.com/guides/shadowlands/tradeskill-guides-5/general-crafting-4/repairing-nano-crystals

This is one of the expertises that stacks with composites, giving you an extra +20 psychology. Note that this does not stack with improved psychology expertise, which crats can get by proccing a briefcase of holding

Most commonly the most sought after are the top and bottom QL of Nippy. 140 for ease of getting them on and 160 for doing the most amount of damage once you have leveled up some!

While most people drink this for the +1% crit chance, a lesser known trick is that the coffee can actually bump up your aggdef value to more than 100%! Meaning if you stay at full agg and drink the coffee, you will actually shave off an additional 0.18s off both your weapon attack and recharge times! This has been tested and verified in-game, and also appears in your stats menu if you do a /tell nadybot !stats. You'll see your aggdef setting actually bumped up to 118 points at full agg with this buff on

Strangely enough, while having 118 aggdef points speeds up your weapon attack/recharge times by 0.18s compared to 100 aggdef points, it does not actually help you cast nanos 0.18s faster

Do you know if there's a specific QL that is the most sought after? Or is it kind of, just whichever you can get?

Drops from AI generals from City Raids & Ship

Drops from Adonis Dynaboss Nippy Slither. Very low drop rate, Good luck!

Drops from catacombs bosses and Lord of the Void. QL250-300 is what has been confirmed available

For those interested in farming this: get a L78 or L84 character, and roll level 58 team missions with 6 people in your team (they need to be in teaming range; the more people in your team, the more loot the boss drops). At these levels, you're guaranteed a L60 final boss that has a 3-5% chance of dropping a shape soft/hard PPE.

I usually roll from Last Ditch in Stret West Bank (mission terminals right beside the whompah), and roll to right outside Foremans since I can whompah to Borealis and use the Foremans recapture beacon to teleport there immediately
