Speaking of Stat Buffs...

[Sannavekk]

<DIV>Sure we don't often get the best group setup to maximize our stats to build our best dps..but I am often surprised about how few people are aware of potions.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The fact is potions that raise a stat a HUGE amount are pretty darn cheap! (which I assume is not good for the alchy <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>EX: I wish i remembered the name of the potion..eludes me now..anyhow a potion that raises your strength a whopping 51 points sells on my server for a measly 60 silver. Pretty darn cheap for something that lasts half and hour in my opinion..and it's not the top of the line one which raises STR by 62 or something but costs 3x as much and is irrelevant with the cap and my gear.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I was surprsied how chaep they have gotten which is cool for us but probably sucks for the crafters.</DIV>

<P>well they still make profit, and nice one i think... try to sell one to the broker and you'll see the cost to make that potion.</P> <P>Of course, the time invested into crafting is what counts, and for that, we should pay some.</P> <P>++Xan</P>

<P>Exceptional Elixer of Fortitude = +51 str, and usually around 20s on my server</P> <P>I usually carry 20-30 of them on me, just in case I wind up in the short bus group</P>

Whats the INT one?? Can you take both at the same time? <div></div>

As far as I have seen, you can only use one potion at a time.  For me it is a typically a choice between the strength potion and the crit potion.

<DIV>I forget the name of the int one.  But if you go to eq2alchemy.com, you can see all of them.  And no, the int doesn't stack with str. But I rarely use the str potion anymore since I can get str maxed without potions.  I've also been able to break 400 (407 being the highest so far) with int.  when EoF comes out, I imagine the str potions will be back as my number one used potion.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Edit: I like Sai, also use the crit potion, which also doesn't stack with the str or the int.  Potions are like poisons, you can't stack potions of the same color either.   You can stack reprieve potions with buff potions though and of course can use the cure, regen, etc potions.  eq2alchemy.com is a very good potion and poison information website.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Gareorn on <span class=date_text>10-17-2006</span> <span class=time_text>07:09 AM</span>

<font size="2">Int potion = Elixir of Intellect, in tier 7 either Grandmaster's or Excpetional.  Exceptional gives increase of about 55(I think) and Grandmaster's gives increase of about 66(I think).Sorry, but I can't remember the exact numbers.The +crit chance potion is Elixir of Tactics, and it comes in very handy from time to time.Potions are now like poisons for me....I never raid without a good selection of the different potions.</font><div></div>
