Fair point, yeah i will probably miss the free ones for the leveling purpose, the ones from HT have a chance to be better, like savage elixirs,
I dont know, basically reserving judgement until i play the change, but with the overflow of potions i end up with, i dont think it will be an issue tbh, I would prefer monsters drop cool loot, special items, new items etc than elixirs. Especially since aside from the ones that you pop to level a little buff, the ones that i really needed to enhance my build, deal with conditions like poison, i crafted anyway, was unlikely i had a inventory full of the ones i really wanted.
