Potions and buffs

Healing and mana potions and buff tonics are brewed at a Cauldron from Sunpetals, Glowcaps, crystals and monster essence, in glass vials. Every town’s Cauldron brews the basic ones; the strongest are brewed only by the Alchemists in Aldhearth.

Potions are made more than found. Chests and the Grown mostly leave what they are brewed from (glass vials, Sunpetals, Glowcaps deeper down), and a potion only now and then, one at a time. Sunpetals grow on the flowers of the open land, and a Red draught is two Sunberries and a glass in the crafting grid. The Trade Post sells Minor potions too.

Healing: the shop's, the brewed and the found

The Trade Post's Minor healing potion heals 18% of your life: enough to get you out of a scrape, not enough to carry a fight. The Healing potion heals 32%: brew it at a Cauldron from a glass vial, 2 Sunpetals and a Rootheart resin (the Burrowkin of the Hollow Roots, the second band of the Twenty, carry the resin), or find one on the Grown and in chests from about danger 20 on. The Alchemist's Blood notable of the Deep Weave makes every potion heal 30% more (see The skill tree).

The Love bomb heals everyone at once, and that is its catch. Brew it at a Cauldron from a glass flask, 2 Sunpetals and a Wild apple (shaken out of a tree), and throw it like a flask (a right click where you aim; on a phone, ACTION throws it at your feet). It bursts in hearts, and everyone within 3 tiles gets back 15% of their life: you, your group, strangers, and the Grown too (a great one only 3%). Throw it into a fight and you heal what you are fighting: step back first. Throwing one starts your healing-potion wait (15 s), so no potion follows it at once, and nobody is healed by two love bombs within 10 seconds. It is never thrown in a town, nor from inside a sanctuary. Healing is never a blow: it heals anyone, PvP or not.

The Twenty's own tonics, the Amber tonic, the Rime draught and the Bloodroot tonic (4 of their band's material and a glass vial each), are buffs for the deeper bands: see The Twenty.

One healing potion every 15 seconds (R drinks your best), one mana potion every 10 seconds (V). Tonics last 2, 3, 5 minutes by tier; a stronger one replaces a weaker one.
