World More Compact Potions

Hey everyone! I was playing earlier and found more than 5 potions in a single chest. Of course, playing as my low-level assassin, I kept all of them in case I needed them... but this isn't the first time I've had too many potions. That's why I'm suggesting this idea.

Potions:
Potions are useful. They can generally mean the difference between life-and death. But they are one of few items that don't stack. They kind of solved it by giving 3 uses each, but that also means you get more faster than you completely finish them. That's why I think they should be much harder to get, but with more uses. Here's specifically what I'm thinking:

Health Potions:
Uses: 3 -> 5
Rarity: Half of current drop rate (or even less)

Stat Potions:
Uses: 2 -> 3
Rarity: Half of current drop rate (or even less)

I am aware that this totals to fewer uses than there are now; I honestly think potions are too common right now. I remember when they were very rare. Now they are common and take up a lot of space.

What about the current potions people already have?
These potions will be unchanged. Perhaps if this change is implemented, the rarity of potions should be greatly reduced to 1/10 the chance that it is now for a week or two to give players time to use the potions they have.

Stacking Used Potions:
In addition to the above change, I propose another feature: the ability to combine used potions of the same level that have been partially used. Let's say for example you have two level 25 potions (level as in requirement) that have 2 uses remaining; when you combine them you will get one potion with 4 uses remaining. This will allow players to combine used potions over time. (Idea suggested by @DrX2345 )

Item Buyers:
Add potions to the Item Buyer's list! It would make a good item sink, and it makes sense considering that potions are actually useful for the citizens of Wynn! I think it would work well with a base sell price of 3-4 for the lowest level potions and have a maximum sell price of 50-60 for max level ones.

 

I like how you have four likes but there are no replies...

Anyway, I like the suggestion. I'm guessing that when you say

You mean they would be twice as rare rather than than twice as common? If so you might want to edit it so this is a little clearer. Also, if this is the case, I agree with you. Otherwise, definitely not lol, they're already common and I find that I rarely need to buy potions (at least, I didn't when I used to play, but that was a while ago).

May I suggest being able to combine potions in the inventory crafting space, so if you have one with 1 use and one with 2 uses (this is with the current system) and you combine them you end up with one with three uses. They would have to be the same level, only healing potions probably, and any left over uses would be lost (2 uses + 2 uses = 3 uses).

 

Added more and made some other changes!

 

Woah woah woah, steady on, afaik level 100 potions are 63 emeralds from the merchant at the moment. That would probably be a more appropriate sell price, with the potions being more expensive.

________________________________

Actually I just remembered that the drop rate is much lower. Still, that seems way too much, maybe 100 ish?

 

I was just shooting in the dark, as my highest level is 56.
Anyway, I updated it. 50-60 is the new max range.

 

Very common suggestion, additionally a very good suggestion

yeah sounds okay
