    Healing Herbs [W] - Reward?

    Has anyone used their Vial of Tincture yet? I have no idea what it will do; I am afraid to use it. The description reads, "A potent concoction developed by Rhinostery researchers." I have returned the book of herbs back to its present day owner and I believe have tied up all loose ends?

    Not sure what to do with this thing.

    [Edit]

    I used the damn thing. The animation appeared to be of a 'cleansing' nature. It didn't do anything that I could tell. I had nothing to cure. Possibly an erase in a bottle.

    In previous games Tincture was MP recovery. That's all I can offer. /shrug

    I can confirm it wasn't MP. I had a depleted mana pool and it didn't give me any.

    How'd you give him back the book? I went back to the present day, clicked on the door, and the othertaru said "lol he don't need it he's married" and walked away.

    When I clicked on the door she said she would take if off my hands but that it wasnt needed as he had found what he was looking for years ago. Then it showed them in the background looking happy.

    Re: Tincture

    Used a Tincture out of being frustrated and not knowing what it did.

    Setup:
    NIN/WAR. HP: Added +hp gear to be below 100%. MP: Added +mp gear to have a gap.
    Pre-used all JAs [except voke] so all timers were down.
    Used an ica wing to give myself medicated status.
    Used a poison pot.
    Ate a mithkabob.
    Put up Utsusemi.
    Got an elemental to cast choke on me (and stick).

    Used tincture. "No effect on Aymee."
    ((Took a screenshot, lazy))

    Oops.

    So this eliminates any of the following potential things it does: HP/MP recovery, Revitalize (JAs), add TP (number, or via regain), remove medicated, remove food, remove a normal status effects (a -na spell), remove misc pathos (requiring erase), or add any misc buffs of any kind (RR, flee, anything).

    The only status I did not have on was weakness. If someone wants to see if this removes weakness, by all means then, lol

    So now I'm even more curious what it does. Are there any other medicines that do not eliminate any pathos or add any buffs? I tried really really hard to give myself every imaginable status and situation where any other existing medicine (from antidotes to panacea to temp item revits) would have had SOME kind of benefit. So wtf could it do? 'No effect' on every type of status isn't much of a medicine. Did I miss something else?

    No, but there are some items that ONLY remove a pathos, such as Stratus Cell or Cumulus Cell.

    As for removing poison or whatnot, did you also have paralyze, blind, and all that?

    This will probably be considered stupid...
    But considering the quest involved finding a cure for a disease that puts people in a neverending sleep... >.>

    Maybe it'd somehow wake you up... or a PT member perhaps? just a random idea...

    That's what I was thinking too. I can try it out next Zhayolm or Silver Sea. Just have to position myself inside Amnesia range and wait.

    Naw, lvling DNC in my free-free time. That is, when I don't have events, which is pretty much every day right after work <.<;

    Doing Zhayolm today in 4 hours though, so I'll try it out then if no one have by then.

    Boo. This was what I was
    So pretty much what we're down to is that it might raise a PT member? Or it cures some weird effect that does not exist at this time.

    Obviously you have to be asleep when you use it to wake yourself up. Sounds like something SE would do.
