Bottomless Potion of Rejuvenation

Resources, Not Just Life

The Bottomless Potion of Rejuvenation thinks beyond an ordinary heal: drink it while you are in trouble and low on life, and it also restores a hearty portion of your resource. The very moment you are scraping by on health, you often lack the energy for that life-saving skill - and this is where the potion steps in.

That makes it valuable across classes for builds that desperately need their expensive defensive or escape abilities yet find themselves resource-starved at the worst time. My tip: keep this potion ready for dicey moments when you have burned through both life and energy - the double boost can hand you back that crucial defensive skill and pull you out of a nearly lost situation.

The condition in detail

Your resource only comes back if your life is below 50% when you drink. Drink with more life than that and the bonus effect does not happen, so quaffing the potion out of habit above half health wastes its real advantage. If you wait until you have dropped below half, every sip brings the resource along with it.

What the roll range means

The amount restored rolls between 20 and 30% of your resource. Because it is a percentage, the absolute return grows with your resource pool: the larger your maximum, the more you get back per sip. The potion has no other properties; its entire value lies in this single power, which is not tied to any class.

Jentulf's petition

The flavor text comes from a letter the prisoner Jentulf wrote to the King, pleading for early release. His argument: when you are losing a fight, healing is no help, because you just lose that health again; what you need is a potion that gives you energy. And Jentulf claims he knows how to brew exactly that.
