I’m curious if people out there actually craft their own elixirs on the regular while playing, every now and then I take a look see at the potion guy and see if there’s been any updates to my craftable elixirs and I don’t see it being viable as the craft costs greatly outweigh the material sustain you’d get while playing.
If I crafted elixirs daily I’d run out of materials in a few days and that’s after stockpiling the mats since launch, I don’t see a crafting mat farm being a good use of time either so I’m curious as to what you guys thunk
I’ll make a poison resist elixir for NM dungeons that have a lot of poison damage but that’s about it. There is an elixir that boosts your lucky hit chance that I would make if it was available to make, I had some that I found but burned thru them pretty quickly.
While I wish there were better and more efficient ways, if you just grind the world for a few hours starting with your lowest material it doesn’t take that long to stockpile a large supply. Also running helltides drop a lot of rare elixirs and some junk ones that you can use when you don’t care about the buffs.
I crafted several elixirs playing as a barb on Tier 2 through capstone. They’re super helpful to get through enemy types quicker, like when you have to grind through all the human enemy types and the cathedral of light. Popping the damage to man elixir makes it a lot quicker. Same with the demon elixir when you’re trudging along through hell
For higher tier NM i’ll usually craft the elixirs that give you 20% damage to certain creature types yeah. Usually the mat you need most is the common Gallowvine, which you can convert higher tiered resources into.
I thought i would do it all the time for the exp buff. But no it’s just too much effort. If I could craft directly from my inventory maybe I would.
I don’t craft them often as I typically only use them for the +5% XP boost. I have been picking up enough when they are dropped from monsters or chests to not need to craft them. I crafted them much more early game. Occasionally I’ll craft something if I want a specific type of res or buff if I’m going into a NM dungeon.
Don’t get me wrong some of the elixirs are op af but to be able to use them regularly would require you to pause the game and side farm just materials. Wish there was some other system to reliably make
on hardcore all the time on softcore never
I keep Curatives on me at all times. The rest i havent seen a need to craft just yet beyond the +30% health and Precision elixirs. Theyre pretty useful.
Only people that care about that pesky thing called exp bother to craft potions. /sarcasm off. Yeah I craft them all the time. Iron Barb is one of my personal fav’s.
They actually nerfed that one from 50% to 30% on day 2.
