Choosing your two slots

  • For immediate healing, compare Healing Gourd, Vessel Restorative and Longevity Tonic. Recovery over time from Merciful Dew or Focus Pill is not an instant heal.
  • Create a safe window for Phantom Remedy because hits interrupt it. Everflow restores one use after a kill only when empty; it is not freely drinkable without limits.
  • Lament Draught improves damage dealt; Sha-Chi Blood Catalyst improves only Sha-Chi Combos and ignites you; Forbidden Concoction improves Phantom Edge damage.
  • A resistance increase from Green Serpent Brew is not 75% damage reduction. Kuye Dew has separate 15-second mitigation and 10-second healing durations.
  • This comparison does not assume multiplicative buff stacking. Check the current item tooltip after changing medicines. Treasure Basin is an accessory, not a medicine.

Refilling and upgrading

At Green Serpent House in Pangzhen, the medicine NPC upgrades medicines with Memories, up to level six. Obtain Memories from purple pickups or Zhang’s shop. Bell refills and NPC upgrades are separate systems. The base values above are not values for every rank; the published individual pages do not provide rank-by-rank tables, so inspect the in-game upgrade preview.
