Purple and grey elixirs later on in the game bring back vitality+mana = 20

Other items that can be combined

bucket/basket + apple or tomato, oranges = full basket/bucket (this increases the value of fruit and vegetables from 1 or 2 gold all the way up to around 10)

Haybed:combine two stacks of straw on the ground to make hay to use as a bed. Hay can not be moved once it is made, but you can combine stacks of straw in your inventory. Click on straw to switch between a pile and bundle of straw

This is from Raze, he did some restoration mathematics.


The Wastelands offer a larger variety of potions: even those you have to mix in the the former areas, so lvl 3 (making normal sized) would be sufficient.

Food effects

Yes yes, edit time limit, sigh.
Kiya

note to that food faq (I'm posting here since I don't know when that one on the other site will be updated).

Food that increases stats int raises the limit on mana by
3 Fighter
4 survivor
5 Mage

Just like the normal increases do (the guy who made the faq played a survivor when testing).

Knew I was forgetting stuff. A really good list Kiya.

The garden of Lanilor is a perfect place to learn what each herb growing there gives. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

And what's more : You can use these herbs you have seen in Lanilor's garden anywhere else in Rivellon for creating potions ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

That is a great spoiler Kiya.

But how do you make the Feign death potion for Gareth. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

You don't make it, you buy it.

But how did Theofolus make it?

Hi Dad,

I don't think you'll ever know how he made it. Just make up the answer if you wish.
