whats the point of crafting...

Except the base cooldown/recast on a Mega Potion is 1:30, Mega Ether is 4m, and Elixir is 6m. Know your products.

Fair enough, however, I would be surprised to see many DD using mega potions in any case. Poor guy can't even give em away. Elixirs, on the other hand, I can sell for profit.

As infrequently as Mega-Potions sell, Elixirs sell even slower. I'm guessing you usually don't try to sell them by the thousands lol.

I chose Mega-Potions over Elixirs because despite having almost identical ingredient costs, Mega-Potions take 5 lightning and 5 water shards as opposed to 6 of each with Elixirs. It doesn't sound like much but with almost 3000 synths that means an extra 150-300k.


I also personally don't like using Elixirs. With a 1.5 min CD on Mega-Potions I can pop one every pull when leveling my PLD. If I need MP on my BLM for multiple Flares I prefer Hi-Ethers with a much shorter CD. For larger boosts I'd rather use HQ X-Potions and X-Ethers. TBH I'd probably use Hi-Elixirs if they weren't so insanely expensive. 100k a potion no thanks lmao.
