Right now, almost all of the meds are not really worth using - they have long use timer, long period after where you can't do anything, and some give you a status that prevents you from using more for 10+ min. For leveling new jobs, potions/ethers are a godsend, but after lv 30-40 they lose a lot of their use.
Yet there are spammable temp versions that are insta-use, scale with your hp, have no delay, and are free in some events.
Why are the craftable equivalents so weak?
