Make meds stack to 99

[OmnysValefor]

Title says it all. I love coming prepared and I hate asking for sneak, but I'd be lying if I said I've never run out of a med mid-event, or worse, didn't bring them at all. A stack of 99 echos would never leave my inventory, and would be easy to replenish. Same for oils and powders.

I would be more interested in making all the potions/ethers/dawn mulsums etc stackable to 12 so that people might be more inclined to keep some on them without taking up a sack full of inventory space

I keep asking them to do this. No reason why Ether / Potion / Elixirs can't stack to 12.

Thing is when SE increased a stack size of something before (think it was arrows or something) they didn't increase the yield from crafting it, and as you know, with the AH it's either 1 or a full stack. So crafters had to start crafting 99 of an item instead of 12, the amount of supplies they needed to carry was ridiculous so they started losing money crafting that item so they stopped crafting them. So if askin for meds stack size to increase, make sure to ask for crafting yields to increase as well or you'll never see your meds again.

Potions/ethers/elixirs/etc wouldn't suffer too bad from being stackable to 12 without their recipe yields changing. Their stack size is one of the biggest reasons they simply don't sell at all. Many of the ingredients should be made stackable as well, however (I'm looking at you, ahriman wings). Also, item use time, medicated time, and ability restriction should be re-examined for all consumables.

The reason why potions don't stack is because of game balance, you're not supposed to heal yourself by spamming hi potions. There are potion drops that have the same effect as potions and stack but give you a 5 minute medication effect.

Yes, you're supposed to heal yourself by spamming waltzes instead. Waltzes which don't take up an inventory slot, don't take 5 minutes between uses, heal more HP than a hi-potion, and cost less TP than potions cost gil.

How many medicines in the game are actually useful? As JAs, spells and equipment have slowly been getting more powerful over the years, medicines have remained almost completely untouched. The one exception is all those temp medicines you can find in events, and even though they don't cost gil and they're vastly more powerful than anything which can be crafted, many of them still go unused because it's simply not worth the time it takes to drink them.

This is about throwing alchemists a bone and creating another avenue towards victory. Can't find a bard to ballad your mages for the event? Well, maybe you could drop a few thousand gil on ethers and still make it through the fight.

There is a dagger which applies Haste, so I think it is about time other items do so. How about earrings that apply songs like March to the user (charges) and medicine that applies Haste. We could even call the medicine "Haste Paste" for the in game name.

I agree, I saw this on another site.

Megalixir (100% HP+MP)

MP items that can be normal or temporary.

Mulsum (10 MP) **

Hi-Ether Drop (45 MP + 5min medicated) **
Super Ether (100 MP + 5min medicated)
Super Ether +1 (105 MP + 5min medicated)

* Indicates unknown effect percentage.
** Indicates item can be stacked.

As you can see most of the normal MP items are crap in comparison to the temp items. I looked on Wiki there is no detailed list like this in a table that shows ALL recovery type items, how they stack and what the effects are. I wish someone would make one for the community.

On a slight derail, there is no reason meds that restore all of 100~300 MP should give Medicated in this day and age.
