New Dungeon Loot - Stat Potions

[the_portals]

Since we're gonna get new dungeons, that of course means new loot. What better way to get players in your dungeons than enticing them with stat-increasing potions?
The potions would be rare, but when you drink one it would increase its respective stat by the square root of its quality, rounded down. For instance, if you got a q25 psyche potion, drinking it would increase your psyche by 5. The same would be true of a q35 psyche potion.
However, these potions come with a catch. To consume them, the player must sacrifice experience proportional to the stats gained. For every 1 stat point awarded, the potion would cost 250 experience. Our q25 psyche potion would then cost 1,250 experience.

No. Just no. We've wandered far enough down the path of dungeon inspired silliness, don't you think? Let's not make them a prerequisite for being successful in the game.

[MrPunchers]

Nah.

[MadNomad]

but noone would give 25K experience for 100 stats its like comparing q300 to q50

Potions? Just why, I think that the hearts were already a bad idea.
Some "dungeons" ie. animal nests/dens are OK I think, they could contain only animal related stuff and the animals themselves. Like maybe you could get bear hair from bears den which would be a curio. Bear dens would be needed when seasons are implemented at least
But no potions or some other stupid stuff. If HnH would get potions, there would have to be some cool complicated alchemy system for them.

I agree on the hearts being a bad idea, but I do like the homage to Zelda.

As for potions? I think we're just fine with more wounds and medicines, we don't need no stinkin' uber-fukken-death-potions.

I like it, with a cap of 60 or so, it could only give +7 max stat.

+7 barely changes anything.
If it can't be re-produced (i.e, people making q300 ones) then it doesn't seem that bad of an advantage.

I think most people are tl;dr'ing this, or what can be called lexicographical discrimination, where they see potion, and don't bother reading the context but post their opinion.

[NOOBY93]

no pls

Nope, read it, hate it. No thanks.

Best option IMO for a "dungeon loot" would be Items, curios, or gilding items that are specific to that animal. Like a wearable item that keeps animals from attacking you.

so if you kill the king of the boreworms, you would get a king boreworm's beak that you can make a King Boreworm mask that keeps boreworms from attacking you.
