Are novice potions abusable?

[Immortal]

Abuse: to use wrongly or improperly. 

All things can be abused.  The real question is to what extent?  Is this one really worth the time, effort and thought have have already been put into it?

You give them free novice potions for them to use.  If you do not want them being traded between characters make them character bound.  If you dont want them being used after X level, change you set up.

They are made for healing.
They are being used for healing.

How are they being used improperly?

If you get owned in PvP by someone using Novice Potion, the one using them is probably a cheater, abuser or hacker (and a noob, of course), since it's just impossible that someone can kill you, you are GOD

Oh, right.

[renamed]

its abusable because its free

Right, they should be donatable, then it's okay

Unless someone's using a speed hack, it's almost improbable that someone could win in a PvP duel using novice potions.

If it's an item meant for healing, and it's being used for healing, I don't see what the problem is unless you know, for sure, they're using some kind of program.

Actually, in the time it takes to make the novies, go through training grounds get all the pots, and store them all, or trade them all across, you could probably have hunted HWs, sold the loots, and bought white pots from the NPC. Or hunted for Aloe Leaflets at Mosco.
Anything under the levels being able to hunt these players would be legitimately using novice pots, being low level.

Remember, 15 novice pots = 1 white pot.

350 divided by 15 is 23.3333 white pots. Less than 23 HW kills with OC. Even less with DC for the pots.

So, if anything, novice pots are more expensive in terms of time.

you can bot

or you can use a macro recorder

you can go through 9 novices with 1 command

or if you somehow program it to make new and different names.... you can do more than 9 with 1 command

[Aurora™]

That's the only way they are abusable, which is what I had said.

Other than that, it's a healing item used for healing. You can't abuse it unless you macro it. I feel like I'm repeating myself

Then you're abusing 3rd party programs, not novice pots.

Derrp.

As always.

you can abuse 3rd party programs by walking to cell a to cell b and back too ^^

its 3rd party + novice pots

@aurora i didnt read the whole topic, my bad

[Fantaxy]

like green said

It isn't abusable when you do it with 3rd party programs.
If you do it with that and by that logic everything is abusable /facepalm.

But then there is the case, that VIT increases the potion heal percentage, which will push the effect of white potions even more than that of novice potions

And don't forget the +20% on a Swordsman Class with HP recovery skill!

So novice potion react differently to skill and vit compare to white?  I didn't know that.
