    Buff up the potions or implement a new one

    I'm one of those rare guys who's using potions (mainly x-potions) in case of emergency, and with no additional potions comes in updates after updates.. I'm simply making a suggestion that either give more cap to potions, or add a new recipe to alchemist for more potions.. Alchemist's only purpose isnt supposed to be making armour shinny {:v)

    These potions are valuable that it can decide life and dead, but with recent updates, the mobs hit harder and harder while x-pot HQ Only heal me 650hp max :s

    I use x-ethers for flash spam and have the status ones on my horizontal hotbar in case I need'em. I would like stronger potions. <_<

    If I'm doing coil I don't leave home without an X-Potion. Even for dungeons I stack up on mega-potions cuz why not? I don't really feel they should be any stronger because they should feel like a bonus..more than a necessity.

    FFXI had the same problem. Lots of potions, but absolutely no reason to own them. Their lengthy cooldown and weak curative ability makes them essentially inventory+1 items at all but the lowest of low levels. And to be honest, I could never understand it. I've played countless MMO's which have far superior curing items, and their impact on gameplay is negligible. People don't use them instead of a healer (which is the backwards logic most use to argue against stronger potions), because healers still do the job better... and for free!

    Still, I don't think they'll ever make potions useful in a Final Fantasy MMO. The only useful healing items in FFXI were the megalixirs (full HP/MP) which could only be obtained in PvP and special raids, or Primordial Brew which turned you into a god for 3 minutes. I randomly got one of the latter in Walk of the Echoes... I was champing up the subsequent fight with insane damage, crazy regen and 9999 hitpoints.

    ...ahh nostalgia.

    ew you havent done Legion in FFXI, Vile Elixirs were a must have for mages basicly there. It still is usefull, but to a lesser extent now, due to the amount of refresh available.

    I use ethers in raid but would love for the GCD to be a bit less.

    This is no Diablo 1/2 where you have to do potion management and potion spamming. This is a design decision made as part of the game design.

    IMO SE may change the animation from drink a potion. Take long time to do.
