[Dev] What Items Do You Want Improved/changed?

I'm on-board with medicine adjustments!
Here are a few ideas that would be lovely.
I apologize if they've already been stated:

1. Medicine (Potions, Ethers) stack to 12 (or 99!)
2. Remove medicated effect on Potions, Ethers.
3. Increase amount of HP and MP healed with items.

Potions are wonderful items. I spend a lot of gil on HP and MP restoring items, but I am limited to only a few items out of the plethora of medications out there simply due to the amount of time it takes to use an item as well as the medicated effect that they cause. This limits me mainly to Vile Elixir, Vile Elixir +1, Hi-Potion +3, and Super Ether +3. These are not always in stock and limited. Additionally, they take up a lot of space because I use a lot of medication.

This is a bit far-fetched, but I thought of a creative solution to potions and ethers (excluding elixirs):

Potions
HP Healed = (Max HP / X)*(1+Y)
X = Modifier based on the level of the potion (i.e. Hi-Potion vs Super Potion).
Y = MND based modifier, much like a WSC in WS formulas, also affected by level of the potion.
Potions would be affected by MND and your Max HP, making healing much more efficient.
Additionally, make (certain) potions target party members, and make area of effect potions craftable.

Ethers
MP Healed = (Max MP / X)*(1+Y)
X = Modifier based on the level of the potion (i.e. Hi-Ether vs Super Ether).
Y = INT based modifier, much like a WSC in WS formulas, also affected by level of the potion.
Potions would be affected by INT and your Max MP, making healing much more efficient.
Additionally, make (certain) potions target party members, and make area of effect potions craftable.

Final Adjustment:
Much like Automaton Oils, add minimum level requirements to use them, like the requirements of EXP pages.
This way you don't have low level parties spamming high healing items.

Anyway, that's just my two cents. Hopefully my ideas get those brain cogs turning!

Just figured I'd bring my post from the official forums over to here for feedback and just to share my thoughts here.

Can we please combine our Magian staves now? D:

I actually like the working potions idea.... Would make those sticky situations in NNI easier when I'm a mile away from a SCH and getting the hell beat out of me

More like, I'm bound and the SCH is lost.. but w/e.

Having a stack of Hi-potions +5 with a cooldown of 5-10 seconds that I could get 3-500 hp out of (stat dependant or something) would be fantastic. IMO

Bravura WS.

I second this

On note of the CoP ring upgrade requests, I'd also like to see the ToAU rings upgraded.. maybe remove the assault latent and make the effect fulltime np :D refresh ring? another lolregen ring? snapshot!

You don't use bravura for the ws, you use it to cap -dt a dd focused hybrid set while spamming upheaval. Its a utility weapon.

Lol obviously you did not understand the point. There is no problem with the DMG or even the aftermath, it's the def down that never procs.

And FYI upheaval only does more DMG then MT in high buff situations.

In nyzul you get temps.... In that situation, fanatic vicar elixir call for help, problem solved.

Remedies, holy water, echo drops, the medicines of the -na / erase family are great, think of how overpowered a lucid potion style med would be even with a short medicated effect. The fact that xi isn't turn based and is multiplayer is probably why potions have never really got adjustments. Mages aren't bound to a 10 second cooldown on potions and a 20 second one on casting.

Stop hoarding so much crap!
