Path of Exile: Saving Lives - One Potion at a Time
Path of Exile
When it comes to surviving in Path of Exile, so-called flasks are your best friends. Each character can fill up to five slots with magical liquids - always depending on the task at hand. Pressing 1 through 5 on your keyboard will activate the potions, immediately giving you a special bonus.
The way that flasks recharge is unique to all onlinegames of this genre: Every time you use a remedy, you basically take a sip instead of emptying out the entire bottle. This means that you can use healing or mana potions more than once before they need to be recharged. Once the glass phial is empty, you will have to visit town or land killing blows on enemy monsters. That's why we recommend saving some of the adds when fighting boss creatures, as you will need easy prey to fill up your potions. Currently, there are 10 different kinds of flasks available:PotionBonusLife Flaskhealth pointsMana Flaskmana pointsHybrid Flaskhealth and mana pointsRuby Flaskfire resistanceTopaz Flasklightning resistanceSapphire Flaskcold resistanceAmethyst Flaskchaos resistanceQuicksilver Flaskmovement speedGranite Flaskarmor classDiamond Flaskcritical hits
