Dust of Life is pretty good.

Seriously. You should try it!

xD Haha! Good one, sir.

[Djeeta]

Im saving it for Safi'Jiva siege, gonna need a lot of it there.

Yeah, I like it. I don't see the point of Life Powder, it's such a tiny heal and tiny capacity (even with Free Meal 3) that it's worthless to the team usually, but Dust of Life is great.

It's a great emergency heal if you've hotkeyed it and you quickly need health after being smacked to like 20% or something too, can pop both in the time it takes to chug a single potion etc. It's also good for keeping your team alive, definitely more so than Life Powder itself.

I've had at least one experience where Namielle has put all three of my team mates into a stun with low HP, and popping a Dust of Life twice has kept them alive. It's always in my inventory now, and considering how much of the stuff the Steamworks offloads onto you, you'll practically always have an infinite supply of it.

Plus, it's nice to be nice! And if you get a funny automatic custom shoutout for your troubles, all the better!

Psh, I run with lfiepowder, dust of life, hardshell powder, demon powder, and even have a healing kinsect that I let run amok sometimes in order to set the field in case someone needs a little top off

You dont even need to save it, you get stupid amounts for free doing Steamworks if you burn a lot of fuel while you're gathering out in guiding lands.

Demon and Hardshell power I can definitely get behind, it's very useful and you get enough of it to last an entire hunt even when used liberally, herbal powder I'm not too convinced by because I usually run a Cleanser Booster, however it can be good to have when you notice that HR 200+ guy chugging an antidote because he doesn't know herbal remedies exist, lol.

I've just never really liked Life Powder and by extension Blue Mushrooms on Mushroomancer + Wide Range as a method of healing. It always seemed that a Mega Potion was superior in almost every situation, etc.

Dust of Life though is an instant AoE mega potion so it's definitely top shelf to me

I know you get a lot from events, i have 1400 Dust of Life, 2400 Gloamgrass bud and 5000 Godbug.
Still gonna save up for Safi'Jiva. That steamworks machine are quite boring to do too Orz.

Hold RT/Space and Tab out while holding em and it'll just repeat input while you got a video in the background. It's not a pretty solution but it does let you burn fuel and take a break.

Kinda wish there was just a button to burn it all at once.

I wishes that too :x
Will try out your trick when im boring of the hunting later, thanks!

[Greb]

Imagine how good it must feel making a snow angel in a mountain of Dust of Life..

..man, forget pools of money, I want pools of that, hayfever or asthma be damned, I'll heal from it faster than it kills me

[Saber]

But Dust of Life reduces DPS!

[Greb]

I guess it does kinda suck for Heroics users, but how many of those do you run into anyway?

You probably only solo with it, since monster HP get multiple with more players, thus destroy the purpose of using this to kill the monster asap.

From my experience using Wide Range and Mushroomancer, I typically can save my teammates a bit more often with the mushrooms than the potions, especially with speed eating. I don't know why it happens like it does, but the recovery speed on teammates from your potions is equal to however much Speed Eating they have themselves. I have had that moment where I'm chugging a Mega when my low-health teammate gets hit and he dies when the mega should've saved him due to the health going up slowly, even though I had speed eating 3. In the same sort of situations, the shrooms tend to be a better quick heal since the healing is instant and you can eat three in the time it takes for mega to heal.
