I've got more bottles on me than a pharmacist, and I'm wondering to myself why am I carrying around so many health potions. I'm not actually using any of them (now that I know how to set up camp that is  . My cleric makes the rest of the party feel all happy and healthy. I have used 1 (one, uno, une, moja) SP potion to help boost ole Shifty Eyes at a time of need, but that's about it really. What about the rest of you adventurers? Are you just selling off your health potions for a bit of coin, or are you actually drinking them? |

Are you just selling off your health potions for a bit of coin, or are you actually drinking them? I know I sound obsessed with the Dking, but I've only used bottles when I'm fighting it. The rest of the time I go back to camp. Why? Because in Brutal and Nightmare, I usually deplete my team's SP EVERY fight, or the SP of 1 toon in the team. Considering the team work necessary to survive, I've gotten into the habit of going back and replenishing. rabid |

Actually true ... at higher difficulties, potions are very much more useful than at Normal difficulty ... and no beuns, you can't set up your own camp - I just was still excited that due to fellow testers, I actually KNOW what a camp is  |

That's what slayernz has just said in the first post or am I miss-reading ? |

What ?! You can set your own camp ?! I didn't know ! How ? That's why I'm getting short on potion... I think they mean since they now know what a camp looks like/due to fog of war changes it is fairly easy to go back to a camp at any time now.. if not, please share! Edit: And once again I am too slow, but I agree with Beuns about the heart stopping bit But to answer the question, I use spirit potions occasionally since I tend to go on long extended trips and don't return to camp/town until I'm entirely done with a level. I have used a health potion once or twice but that is only when I was very outnumbered with tougher type foes (but this playthrough is on Easy, so take that with a grain of salt). If my last play through was on a higher difficulty I could see myself using them more regularly. |

To get back on track : I use a good chunk of potions (I'm playing on easy and not using great tactics...) especially when I fell into a deathkin with 2 shamans and around 10 other of those damn scavengers...just after meeting one deathkin and 5 archers/fighters...it was an epic battle that left me with 3 small health potion and made me run to chest around to get some SP potion for shifty-eyes otherwise useless (more than usual I mean ). Since then I use lots of potions and became a bit more tactical in my style of play  |

Sorry that the thread had some confusion on it -- the only place you can setup camp is at a campsite per the usual.
The updated set of loot rules will include a more balanced distribution of shiny bottles, as well as introducing other types of loot.
Glad to hear that people are finding potions useful on higher difficulties.

I use the potions occasionally on the heavier battles, most of the 5 unit + fights can be longer and require maximizing every AP. Since you can down 3 potions for the price of one Tears, I'll usually go to the potions in real tough situations. However, I find myself drinking rivers of Spirit Juice. I think I'm going to make some alchemist very, very rich in the full game |

Regretfully Shifty Eyes and friends are unable to reply to this thread as they are presently attending a counselling session at potion Drinkers Anonymous, a subsection of Alchoholics Annoymous.

Lol Yes, those blue pots are pretty addictive! I find myself often playing like a maniac and ignoring potions just to be a hard-ass. This gets me into trouble, and I've stirred from this state before with half my team dead and with no SP and still trying to make it and realizing ... crap! I have potions, what am I doing? For me, its more of a remembering they are there, kind of thing. |
