Default Re: MA Man - Making the best of a bad deal

Elixir does the same thing boots of youth do, eg. freeze aging (they have the same effect tag), although you need to equip this before you get diseased from old age. The 2nd life effect is a seperate effect on the elixir.

From what I understand burden of time bypasses boots of youth, and therefore by extension probably bypasses elixir too, take this as an educated guess though.

the elixir just saves them once, right? i mean they still remain old.

so a minor nature bless does everything the amulet or the ring does (the important parts)?

It does not--when I did the first test I forgot I had cast "Gift of Health" which was responsible for the disappearance of the disease.

The Lycanthropos Amulet does increase her basic hit points, but she can never fill those HPs without entering combat to receive a healing spell and if she does so, she will berserk which means she'll probably die. Therefore it is probably better to make Rings of Regeneration for them.

I try to get Elixirs of Life on my good crones as soon as possible. This is difficult because it either eats up Pretender turns or requires empowering someone.
