    I see it as another feature that will devalue goods. If currently you need 700 silver ingots to gm a craft skill...with this potion youre only gonna need 5 silver ingots .How do you think market is gonna react to that ? Dont get me wrong im all for people to get stuff more cheap...i like to buy stuff for cheap...question is when should the line be drawn ?

    GM craft skill - XP required 1.2 mil
    Elysium xp /hour -80k -100k - Time need it to mine to GM 1 craft skill - 12h-14h .

    Not sure XP plays a big role anymore.

    Yea, I hope so to. Also that having replenishing boxes should mean that players will be putting a lot of them out in the market for gold.

    I'd agree the implementation is probably flawed, but I doubt I'm alone in thinking if I have many of these potions, I'll be passing them on to new players and people I've persuaded to come and give SotA a try. Certainly relying on that alone is a pretty poor distribution method, but I think it still will be a significant part of it.

    If these potions only apply to combat, will i still get access to crafting skills 2 weeks before others?

    We REALLY need a setting that 'caps' our skills to a level of OUR choosing (set a level on the skill, and it gains UNTIL that level is hit), then this would not occur.

    Uh... there is NO WAY that this is working as intended. I am nearly 100% sure that it is supposed to be a boost that is reasonable, like that from having the apprenticeship/ GM in the skill in your party.

    If this is going to work as I think it will, it is going to be very similar to having a GM of <insert skill> in your party (apprenticeship). If this IS true, then you could have tried to group up with an apprentice and get this done in a very similar manner in prior releases. If you chose to raise masterwork and enchanting skills without the benefit of an apprenticeship, I'd say that is on you.

    It was rather fun to take my carefully horded xp and hit sprint and see health go from 70-90 in one hit.. less fun for the xp warning and see it said 0 xp, then to have killed one wolf skilled it and now my skinning something or other is now 75 and my craft xp is 300.. it will make it hard for us who bought this potion to do many other skill tests cos we have no xp to test with! Other than to do a few days grind the lower levels of us cant burn back millions a day..

    Odd... I logged in, went to bank and the potions were not there, nor was a box or bag that would hold them. How did you obtain one of them Elrond?? My pledge level is Lord Marshal so I should have it.

    Yeah definitely shouldn't apply to crafting at all.

    As for combat: i think it diminishes apprenticeship which is actually a cool system.

    I know in the past they fiddled with the application speed, i wish they would just speed up the current rate slightly instead of this.

    Non the less it would be good to know how they are supposed to work so we know what is intended and what is not. Can you share any info about that please?

    I hate to say this. But port didn’t want a pay to win. Surely that’s really what this is
