Dungeons: Add Phoenix Down Drops

[Jaltaer]

Whos going to use Potions in dungeons?? waste of money lol.

Healing Potions which can be kinda useful early for tanks are only 25s-60s cooldown anyway, which if you can survive for a while you can still get healer up.

I have almost 500 Ultra-potions in my inventory I got entirely from running PT, and they have absolutely saved my ass in a lot of recent lv100 content where the healer was asleep at the wheel and decided their DPSes with 20% HP didn't need topping up right before a raidwide etc.

How about we teach people that they can die and be raised without them having to port back because lord if I try to phoenix down someone one more time and they port back I will lose it.

We wiped in Sastasha, granted, I had trash gear and the healer pulled all the last mobs (like ALL) then couldn't keep up the healing. Luckily, she had time to do swiftcast raise on me (in the boss room) I grabbed the remaining mobs with the two dps then raised her with a phoenix down.

I keep a stack of 99 on me anyway.

I relate to this so hard.

I feel like the port back in dungeons shouldn't even be an option unless everyone is dead in the dungeon's boss area.

More reason to interact with the vendor(s) would be nice.

When I read that something got changed to rezz players in normal dungeons, I first had to look up what a Phoenix Down even is - seeing how I never bothered with Deep Dungeons at all...
So for casual players it's very easy to have no idea that they exist, and that they are usable in normal dungeons now.
Even if there was an ingame popup... I get lots of them lately, and they never contain anything worth reading ("you're about to follow this NPC around for 10 minutes, let me explain to you on 5 pages of text how you do this").

Exactly. Make people more aware of it would be nice because then they'd know that oops the healer died is okay, and I the tank can just mitigate and raise you or the DPS can just raise you. Stop porting to the dang start if it's recoverable T_T

I more often have the opposite issue in where folks think we can use Phoenix Downs in normal raids.

Really think they should just allow it everywhere.

It's not the worst idea. Not every player can afford many Phoenix Down from the vendors or even know about them. Maybe gaining them in some chests would give a hint.
No removing Material though...

Oh, I know how to use Phoenix Downs, I just don't care to carry them around the same way I don't bother with other potions or food. I've only got so much inventory space and there's other things I'd rather be spending gil on, so they're not a priority for me.

If people are dying that much in normal content where Phoenix Downs have become a "necessity" than that just tells me the content is over-tuned.

I can't begin to name how many times I've carried a raid and needed to use a higher-level Ether to regain some mp back, or how food made a run go smoother and faster, even in the normal ones. Your inventory shouldn't be full carrying like 5 or 6 different things.

I agree. I’m a master crafter and I habitually carry stacks of all the materials for the current top-end gear, top-end crafting food, and top-end potions. I also carry stacks of combat, crafting, and gathering food (two types of the latter), Super-Ethers for when I have to rez a lot, strength potions for when I want more damage, healing potions for when I screw up and the healer is busy, Grade 8 Dark Matter for repairs, three different kinds of aetheryte tickets, and these days also Phoenix Downs. Despite carrying all this stuff I generally have about a page and a half of unused inventory space, which is plenty of space for anything I need to temporarily carry. Spending a few extra inventory slots on things that help your game go more smoothly isn’t a big deal, let alone spending one inventory slot to help the rest of the party.
