Which are the most useful or most fun essences and potions?

Hello.  I'm researching on which pots are the most useful or fun, since I want to know which ones to prioritize in making-buying-begging other people to make for me.

Right now, just from reading the descriptions, Essence of Rubeweed and Essence Silvertongue seem to be the most useful to me.  I am also very curious about Charades Potion, Door Drink and Essence of Purple.

About Keycutter Tonic - uh... does it have a higher chance of turning keys into the key that opens the doors to Ayaja Bliss and Neva-Neva?

Edit:  Forgot to mention, that I'm curious about what Amorous Philtre does exactly.

  • Well, in the five times I used my 1 Keycutter Tonic, I got the same key 3 times. I think it's totally random, though.

    Essence of Purple is the um.. craziest of the essences, I guess. 

    From my own observation Amorous Philtre gives you a buff that gives you mood, but you can pass the buff on to other people. I think it's called full of love or something.

  • So, Amorous Philtre is similar to Radiate?  I will definitely be testing that.

  • My favorite potions:
    Rainbow Juice
    Charades 
    Door Drink &
    Ancestral Spirits looks interesting (haven't tried it yet though and I'm not sure how much more time it buys)

    Essences:
    Essence of Gandlevery for the mood loss (I don't particularly care to level up, low mood slows that down)
    Essence of Rubeweed for trading w/Rube
    Essence of Purple for the insanity

  • Animal Youth Potion has 5 charges or just one charge?

    It turns adult animals into baby animals (which can be sold-donated)?  Is that the main use for it?

  • Animal Youth has 3 charges.

    I figure it'll be handy for moving and not leaving loads of animals behind and for cleaning butterflies & chickens out of mines.

    I also forgot to mention tree poison & antidote -- useful.

  • The usefulness of tree poison and antidote is a given.  XD

  • They're all interesting once, but Charades is the one I think I would be coming back to again and again.  With the right group, it's way fun.

  • For tinctures....at a guess, Gandlevry, Silvertongue, Yellow, and Rubeweed are the best, although I'm not sure which order they should go in in terms of most effective.

    Rookswort, while wonderful raw for it's 10-real minutes of mood-droop suspension, is only effective during rook attacks when tinctured. 

    Purple is pretty much strictly recreational so I don't put it in the same category as "useful" items.

    Potions?  idk yet.

  • Rainbow juice is fun! I got to play with some earlier. Essence of rubeweed seems to sell amazingly, too.

  • Just discovered the benefits of Potion of Youth just now and loving the effects. I just hope it doesn't get abused/nerfed.

  • Just tried the Key cutting Potion, it didn't seem random so I'm wondering what's other peoples experience with it is. I tried it on 3 separate green/white circle keys and every time I got a purple/orange circle key. When I tried it on one of the common triangle keys, I just got a different common triangle key. Naturally I was trying to see if I could coax out a teal/white triangle key but I was disappointed to see that the keys aren't random at all (even if it is only the common ones you can find in the ancestral lands).
