Potions and Healing
Potions may be earned through various quests and activities.

Potions - Part 1
Potions may be used during or after battle. They do not replace your turn during battle and as many potions as you want can be used at any time.

Potions may be obtained through quests or purchased at Jack's store.

• Minor Heal Potion - Allows healing up to 5 health during a battle.
• Heal Potion - Allows healing up to 10 health during a battle.
• Major Heal Potion - Allows healing up to 15 health during a battle.
• Minor Poison Potion - Poisons the monster causing 2 amount of additional damage at the beginning of the turn.
• Enhanced Weapon Potion - Increases the damage of a weapon by 3 for the remainder of the week.
• Damage Potion - For the remainder of the week attack and magic power are increased by 3 points each.
• Find Items Potion - Magically obtain half the items needed for a specific quest. (Note the use of this potion when turning in your quest. If an odd number of items is required, the potion rounds down the reward. Example: Requires 3 items, potion provides 1. Requires 4 items, potion provides 2.) Note that this is only valid for items you receive in the game i.e. from quests or monsters.
• Time Walking Potion - Allows one quest to be completed after it has been removed from the current quest list.
• Duplication Potion - Allows duplication of one book currently held or in use by your hero. Duplicated books may be used for the same quest or activity or used in a new one. Books that have already been applied to an activity or quest may be duplicated. No book can be duplicated more than once!
• Weakening Potion - Reduces your attack power to half of normal for both sword and staff (rounded up).
• Transmogrification Potion - Transforms 1 dropped item from a common monster into any other dropped item from a common monster.
• Pet Plus Potion - Doubles the effects of any pets of the hero for one week.
• Shield Potion - Halves the damage taken by monsters for a single turn.
• Growing Strength Potion - Every turn increases the attack power of both weapons by 1. (First Turn +1, Second Turn +2, Third Turn +3). Lasts for a single battle.

Healing
You may sit down and enjoy a light read to rest and rejuvenate.

• Spell a healing word using Spell-it-Out rules.
   CURE, HEAL, BANDAID, TONIC - 1 hp per letter (or choose your own healing related words)
• Read a book about healing/doctors or with healing in the title. 1 hp per book.

Other ways to heal include:
• Hire a mercenary who heals
• Level up - when you gain a level your hp are restored to your new hp max
• Healing potions
• Quests sometimes grant healing
• Special items can also heal
• Some food can be eaten to restore health

Potions - Part 2

Halloween Event Potions - These special potions cannot be purchased at Jack's store. They can only be earned by participating in the Halloween event, through specific quests or as rewards for defeating certain monsters. Here’s what they do:

• HP Bounce Potion: When used, this potion ensures that if your hero (or Miffy) drops below 0 HP, they will bounce back to positive HP equal to the amount they went below zero. (Example: Hero has 20 HP, uses HP Bounce Potion. Monster deals 50 damage. Hero takes 20 damage, bounces back, and gains 30 HP. Hero now has 30 HP.)
• Greater Poison Potion: Poisons the monster, dealing an additional 10 damage at the beginning of each turn. Note: Minor Poison Potion and Greater Poison Potion effects cannot be combined—only one can be active.
• Stoneskin Potion: Grants complete immunity from all damage for one turn, protecting your hero (or Miffy) from any harm.

• Halloween Resurrection Potion - Resurrects Miffy the Monster Slayer but has no effect on the hero. During the Halloween event, once you’ve obtained Miffy, you can purchase this potion for 10 Gold or trade it for 1 Potion Token. (This is the only Halloween Event Potion available for purchase.)

Potions - Part 3

Luxurious Potions - These premium potions are true treasures of Jack's Store and cannot be exchanged for Potion Tokens. If you wish to obtain one, you’ll need to pay in gold. (Sir Bargainbeak’s feather may be applied at checkout for those seeking a discount.) Note: Luxurious Potions cannot be duplicated by the Magical Pumpkin.

• Re-animation potion (must be unlocked through Alchemy That! Part II: The Spectral Brew quest) - Brings a previously defeated rare monster—including rare magical ones—back to life in a ghostly, more powerful form. The resurrected version has double the original’s health and attack power. May only be used on monsters you originally defeated over a year ago. Upon defeating the ghost, you receive the same amount of XP and regular loot (such as potions, potion tokens, mercenary coupons, and gold) as you would for slaying the original creature. Any monster-specific items (such as gems, orbs, or body parts) will appear as the "shadow" of the original, and can be used only once before they dissipate permanently (e.g., the Shadow of the Orb of Fire grants +3 AP to your magic staff for a single battle).

Each rare monster can be reanimated only once, and the process does not work on Halloween Monsters, other Event Monsters, and zombies, as they’ve already been reanimated once before. The Rare and the Rare Magical Monsters eligible for reanimation will be revealed in waves (stay tuned for announcements in the Notice Board thread). You must defeat all the monsters in one wave before you can start reanimating those from the next. Detailed stats and rewards for each Ghost of [Monster] can be found in the Ye Olde FAQ thread.

Can be bought at Jack's Store after being unlocked through completing The Alchemy - Part II: quest. Price at Jack's: 50 gold.

For full details and additional rules, consult the Ye Olde FAQ thread.
