Elixer to heal warts takes way too long

As the title suggests.

Nasty Laceration has 2 methods of healing it, a stitch patch which takes a fucking millenia to heal or toad butter. But if you use toad butter your only method to fix the wart (unless you camp an ancient root which seems to always respawn at way impractical times for anyone who works) is to use alchemy, i used an elixer 2 days ago on a 1 point wart, it added "Medicianl Elixer 25", in 2 days that has changed to "Medicinal Elixer 23" and the wart hasn't budged. does this count to zero before healing it making it equally as slow as a stitch patch healing?

I understand the incentive is "avoid wounds" but in practicality when so much of the game revolves around combat certain "healing" aspects shouldn't take upwards of an actual month to complete. Its just batshit insane for a mechanic.

the wart is an permanent scarring, if there was an easy way of healing it, they might as well have not made it permanent, in fact, that wart is an downside too an medicine, would it be easy to heal, toadbutter might just not have any downsides.

in fact , our nasty lacceration actually heals on itself, and weirdroots work also i belive,

although i´m currently also on the receeving end of an alchemical wound: turned 15 laceration intoo 15 nerve damage,
i love the way alchemiy actually works, you have some weird guy pounching shit in his basement, he comes out with an "yep this might possibly work" and you are horribly disfigurred after, with an worse wound than at the start, and now need another elixir too actually get it off,

basically alchemy dosn´t work, but sometimes you just get miraclecoured by it, and that keeps you gambeling, and hoping it works, flavourwise ít´s an 11/10 and more entertaining, and rewarding than deciding whats faster. getting that stitchpatch on and taking an break from the game for 1,5 months or walking intoo deep water.

Not sure how much time you've put into Alchemy, but I can safely say that Alchemy DOES work incredibly well, and your doctor is a dumbass who doesn't know what they're doing. I can heal nasty laceration incredibly fast, to the point where I would call anyone who uses a stitched patch a simpleton. Doesn't mean its OP though, I had to fuck around and use countless resources to obtain the knowledge to do this. You just need a good doctor. What you're describing sounds more like some hillbilly trying to sell you moonshine that'll turn ya blind.

The random potions that cause nasty lace>nerve damage are fun though ^_^

Yeah sadly people don't seem to want to update the wiki with information for everyone else to use nowadays so y'know, the rest of us that aren't even remotely interested in the rabbit hole that is alchemy get the rest of the stuff in the game to use.

But to go back to my original post 'cause this is just getting derailed: it shouldn't take literal WEEKS to heal something, its a fucking video game.

Aight, i've healed a 23 point nasty laceration with a stitch patch and the nasty wart treated with elixer still hasn't gone.

That kind of tells you something is fucked up with how long it takes.

Keep us posted please, I'm curious when it will finally heal, or if the elixir will just end
