I'm a average WindSlayer Bishop, with about a average of 200,000 gold, which is good until you look at how much potions cost. When I'm low on MP and in the middle of partying, I need to use potions, but their too exspensive. I've had situations when I couldn't heal my party anymore. If I live off of potions I'll be poor in no time. Maybe you hard-working outspark staff could lower the price of WindSlayer potions. Please and Thank you. :)

I started my first character the other day, and eventually got to level 10, or somewhere around there. I went to the Foothill to obtain Rynx's chest fur, died like 3 times [due to lack of HP restorants], and after many failed attempts, walked back to town to stock up on pots. I stumbled across the fact that each minor, REPEAT; MINOR [which btw, only heals 60 hp] HP POT was bargained at an incrementation of 100 gold. What was worst, after selling my loot, I found myself only getting 300 gold per round of lootage [each round is like 3-7 minutes for me], equivalent; 3 pots [otherwise a total of 180 hp restored]. Do we really need to rely on this costly method to survive in the wild, my friends? We're all civilians, of which are not invincible after calculating the odds, Outspark Representatives. Considering the additional cost of new equipment for the future class changes, and the additional and yet painful cost of skills, there's no gold to spare for any cause ...
PS; I, on an average daily basis, only make 2500 gold, as a result of excessive pvp'ing. Is this normal? Or am I just a poor looter?

potion costs are fine, you guys just get hit too much

Ok, put getting hit aside.

MP pots are also the same price. And i burn though all the MP pot and food drops, and still have to buy about 20 of the big MP pots a level. :(

But money really isnt an issue in this game for me, so.. i dunno what to tell you.

I use it all to get pots, end up with 60-100k in loot, spend 30 on pots, add another 60-100k. Once i get to around 300k i usually find something dumb to do with it, like try to make perfect elemental weapons. Aka shoveling 300k worth or rare veins and making flawless elems and like 20 wands and go to town :P

well you could tr to make your own pots.....to compound a mp pot you need blue mushroom and grass......grass is the hardest part....and in the gathering you can get wood and dews to sell at flea.....well dunno if imperial herb drops grass though.....if you think about all the work you will have it ist worth it...but its cheaper and the compounded pots are more powerfull

I don't think thats possible o.o
How can someone die from rynx lol.

As for the pots,doing quests help in storing up pots.
So i don't think its that important to lower the price of pots.

Max,I've seen a lot die from Rynx.iAm a Novice and iHelp other Novices by killing it and giving them the item for an exchange[Usually Praise] or nothin' at all.

As for the MPotion.iAm NOT trying to "Regulate" on Priest but in my view they should just stand and heal.While the others just attack/kill unless they have Huntin'/Gatherin'/Delivery Quest to do.
Yes,yes.iKnow it is boring but it doesn't make you consume MPot as much.
Sometimes you may have a low INT due to mess'd up stats.

Just kill lower monsters.Fast MoneyMakin'.
Yes,it is irkin' when they don't drop anythin'.

I didn't even fight rynx til I got to level 20+? I don't remember really. Anyway, I guess potions can be expensive if you use it alot like what the OP is saying, however, you should also use your MP wisely and you can always asks potions from your party if they want you to heal them.

I forgot about how new players will fight sorry :\
i fought it when i was lvl 10.lol.

As for the pot topic,I have just(and i mean like yesterday) come to realize how fast we can drain out our pots if we train hard.I was lvl 62-63 three days ago and now im lvl 66 and wasted around 300 pots(OMG).I change my mind :\


LOWER THE PRICE OF POTS!

I too is a poor man with no cash to buy pots and arrows. I changed my class to archer but then I barely had enough to buy arrows then I had no money for pots. my problem is that when you go to the herb farm and mines why do you have to buy a sholve every time you use your gathering and mining skills this is the problem if people could just farm without having to pay we be alright.

Buying Elixers and the other thing helps too. Same price except costs a little WSP. Totally worth it though.

ok off topic but about arrows - I have no problems at all in buying arrows, it's because I save a lot of gold from picking up monster drops and selling them to merchants. Some people though hates buying arrows because of excessive use.

We all have our own opinouns of course, but when party members are low on mp, they usually ask for MP Heals, and that's just more MP wasted. There's no party share so, if the healer doesn't kill, he/she never gains money >.>.

that's exactly what the problem is, 'heal plz ... (3 seconds later) heal plz ... (1 second later) HEAL FOR THE SAKE OF MOTHER LORD!!!' the thing that party recruitants don't seem to quite catch is that caster's need mp, of which restores at the SLOWEST rate ever. and don't ever resort to the 'i fight, u heal' tactic on the battlefield, as it tends to wear off shortly thereafter. mp is consumed ten times quicker than the rate at which you get damaged, considering it's the only offensive force caster's have to rely on. once out, you're pretty much left for the dead.

omg, to make mp pots u need blue mushrooms (easy to get, 1 hit kills) and GRASS? grass
is really easy! just get the worst shovel and dig. u get blue mushrooms, grass, sometimes some dew, and other things. grass is easy! and it costs way less. especialy if u go herb gathering a lot, you actually do get something worth the money once in a while! and it is funny if u get weird stuff. most items can be used to make stuff, so keeping them isn't bad anyways.

lolz. i think mp costs are fine. I've never used a mp potion actually, my mp heals too fast and when it does get low i just pvp (since i train solo, or i get no money since ppl think priests are supposed to sit and heal) and it gets all better after a few rounds, and u get wsp too!

That makes the pots that only heals 60 mp, that's barely anything, and since you solo kill, you don't have to worry about anyone but yourself.

. I changed my class to archer but then I barely had enough to buy arrows

Last I checked arrows are 1 gold each (Im a Beastmaster)......Dont think you can get mush cheaper then that unless you want .50 gold each....Heck why not .10 gold there only wood and rock lol. Pots are fine how they are you just have to learn to save up money or go out and hunt for days and use the money to buy more. Each class has there up's and Down.

Pots are too expensive :)

That's why you need to find your own way to cover up your pots.

Either to kill lower monster and sell its drops for golds.

Look for lower price in Flea Market.

Or worst is to beg for pots.

I saw an announcement that someone is asking for pots or for some donors of pots
(it was a high level player begging for pots)

Pots is tantamount to leveling.

Luckily i save lots of golds and save lots of pots.

Im selling Blue pots at 40% discount. (just PM me)

Sorry no red pots, i need it too and still saving some :)

Enjoy Windslayer

potions prices are all right. I don't see a problem with them. The easeist thing that i do is to do qwests the qwest you finish gives gold of pots. If you find this false to understand, well then you have to train more spr or int. That's my opinon, don't mean to shift the issue the wrong direction.

It's quest... I haven't been playing WS for a while, but raising INT didn't really help much.

I don't think priests are supposed to heal in PvE... I mean the healing skills' range
is crappy (how many times does all of your party line up to get healed?). Well,
group heal is better, but it has a long cooldown. They also cost a lot of mp
(about 50% more than holy strike of the same level). And what I don't get is
why in the world did they give priests mana transfer? It costs way too much mp
to use and (unless you're healing an ele) you'd be able to use that mp to deal
more damage than the people who you're healing. Priests should stick to killing
(holy strike is stronger than a lot of other skills), instead of just sitting and healing
(and when they don't kill monsters they don't get drops).

I dont think they are too expensive rilly

but if u have problem with em do some pvp ( recommend ctf ) and buy lucky cube pieces, nucleus and combine into lucky cube -> lotsa cheaper potions this way
