vampire potion

[Ashardalon]

doesnt its extremely demanding trigger make it a massive downgrade from the potion it uses
80% is either too late to save you or too late to not already be killing your opponent
why doesnt it keep the 50% of the potion its made from
especially after consuming such a powerful relic that can make so much more powerful other items, just to craft this disappointment

I'd assume it's due to how you can "preemptively" trigger potions by using other potions "pointing" at them, e.g. you could place two Stone Skin potions below one Vampiric Potion, thus instantly triggering the Vampice Potion effect twice on battle start (assuming you have a start armor of >=45 (leather armor)), and one additional time, when the actual Vampiric Potion triggers.

This yields you 4 instant vampirism + 2 delayed vampirism (+45 heal + enemy dmg), opposed to 2 instant vampirism and 20 max hp by the amulet alone.

This can be additionally boosted with the Amulet of Alchemy, giving you a 70% chance of triggering the potions a second time (after a 2.5s delay).

"especially after consuming such a powerful relic" It doesn't consume the blood amulet.

are you sure?
because the herbs are consumed
why have such inconsistent rules
im obviously not going to retry it just to downgrade a potion

Sometimes you need an additional Vampiric item. I use it to trigger the Prismatic Orb and Sword.

it should be alright on Cauldron witch as you're paying almost no gold for full upgraded vampiric potion, but its hard to fit vampiric theme there.

Check this out. See how the line colors are different? that is how you know if it consumes both or not. Green means one item won't be used, yellow means both items are used and are combined. In the items menu it is shown as a green square around the item that won't be used. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3337970462

Dude we have a whole family of recipes where item is not consumed. Fire items, forging hammer, cauldron. What inconsistency are you talking about? :D It may just help to open your eyes sometimes instead of seeking something to complain about
