Game Mechanics Mana potion changes suggestion

I know this may be a bit pre-emptive, but with the mana potion nerf [which is totally justified] It will become clear that potion management will become an issue like healing potion back in the day. With the duration cut in half and total mana cut by 2/3rds for level 100 pots I think it would be nice, if players could could stack up to 10 [20 charges], at once within a players inventory. This would only be slightly stronger than 3 [9 charges] mana potions currently. Since it would be 2880 total mana over 196 seconds now vs 3200 mana over 320 seconds with this change] [actully worse since mana regen is 50% slower] I suggest this number to mirror the 10 health pots [30 charges] we can store currently, and like most players I'm semi lazy in restocking pots.

[or if this sounds to overpowered, then limit it to 5 pots... 10 charges] [would still be less total mana than 2 potions [4 charges] currently] since it would be 1920 mana over 128 seconds now vs 1600 mana over 160 seconds with this change] Both of these are balanced but due to the duration nerfs I would prefer the 20 charge option ones, simply for convivence.

This would ensure that players could have 20 charges within their hotbar, ready to easily use, but also ensure players cant store a stockpile their inventory full of them, and like health potions only 1 stack per inventory...


I would also suggest both cutting the price to account and adding a recipe to account for the potion nerf, since arguably mana pots have always felt to expensive, as most of us instead merely hoard them from chests, Since while now more balanced, they are also worth significantly less... I would also request an alchamism recipe for them, like healing pots, but instead cost 2-3 times the oil and grains, and in turn lowering the prices to thinking 2-3 eb per potion., to match the proposed recipe. [also crafted mana potions arnt the same as real mana potions as these ones can stack ontop of consumables]

Also using t3 mats for mana potions could be a neat but massive expensive means of crafting better mana potions.

Simply transferring my constructive feedback posts from the discord onto the forums.
I have 2 major suggestions in the works, one relating dungeons, the other relating a new major world event concept. [maybe also a new province idea as well]

 

You can do this with ingredients you find. It would be better to promote using ingredients and engaging with the full crafting system than letting you make mana potions with mats

also my god why did you spam so many threads

 

Sorry for the spam simply had the motivation to post a bunch of the thread ideas I had been making on the discord, since you arnt supposed to make suggestions in the constructive feedback section unless its suggestions about existing things.

 

i really just would them to be cheaper and have crafteds (w/ ingredients) as the more powerful and expensive alternative
i tend to put mana sustain into my builds just because of how unsustainable buying mana pots is even with all of the lucrative endgame money-making stuff.

 

Crap... I made a mistake with my post and put the optional crafting recipe idea first... meant to be at the bottom not the top... the main suggestion are mana potion stacking and price reduction. Welp crap... got 2 downvotes due to crafting recipe... [should have been multi choice poll with what options are good]
