How would you like certain items to be changed?

My suggestions are more in line with current medicines. Most medicines are fairly useless due to their static amounts and the following medicated effect. No one is seriously going to use a pro-ether for MP.

Ether 20MP
Hi-Ether 50MP
Pro-Ether 250MP

These all need to be changed to a percent based restoration and allowed to stack to 12. No medicated effect. Force user to be unable to do any action for a few seconds after use.

Ether 12.5% MP restored 20MP Minimum
Hi-Ether 25% MP restored 50MP Minimum
Pro-Ether 33% MP restored 250MP Minimum

Potion 50HP
Hi-Potion 100HP
X-Potion 150HP
Max-Potion 500HP Minimum

Same as above percentage based restoration with a stack of 12, again no medicated effect. Force user to be unable to do any action for a few seconds after use.

Potion 12.5% HP restored 50HP Minimum
Hi-Potion 25% HP restored 100HP Minimum
X-Potion 33% HP restored 150HP Minimum
Max-Potion 50% HP restored 500HP Minimum

These are fine, just allow them to stack to 12. Also reduce their use time to 5s with the same 5s of no action after their used.

Elixir 25% HP/MP
Hi-Elixir 50% HP/MP

These are currently fine as is and represent the instant use emergency button.

Vile-Elixir 25% HP/MP
Vile-Elixir+1 55% HP/MP

I like but why limit these to a tiny 12 stack. Every other FF game allowed them to be 99, while they're at it they should allow others to use potions on party members as well. Limiting them to 12 is a big deal when they'll cost a lot of gil to get full stack. The full 99 stacks people purchase or make will be GOOD for the economy as GIL sinks. It's also better for the severe inventory limitations we have.

I was going to make an all new thread talking about this but saevel already hit the nail squarely on the head.

The only thing I would add is that there is an Alchemy guild point item called "Concoction" which allows making "Concentrated Drops" versions of low level potions and ethers (Stackable to 12.) You don't see players using these because 1. you can only make low level potions and ethers with this KI and 2. they each give a 5 minute medicated effect.

Why not make it so more if not all of the higher tier medicines can be converted into Concentrated drops? Without the 5 min medicated effect of corse.


EDIT: wow didn't mean to make a new thread...oh well. First time using this forum system lol.
