Elixir (item)



The Elixir, also known as Elixer, is a recurring item from the series. Usually Elixirs completely restore the HP and MP of one ally, and sometimes restores status as well. Megalixir affects the entire party for the same effect. Some games also have a more potent version of the Elixir, called Hi-Elixir.

Magic Pots often want Elixirs and in exchange give plenty of Experience Points.

Final Fantasy
The Elixir item did not appear in the original NES version. Elixirs can be found in the Origins, Dawn of Souls, and Final Fantasy 20th Anniversary and iOS ports.

Final Fantasy II
Elixirs make their debut, sold in item stores for 50,000 gil (being the most expensive item). They may also be found in chests and are dropped by enemies.

The Emperor can use Elixirs on himself in the first battle against him, fully restoring his HP and MP. Amusingly, because his use of Elixirs is treated as an enemy ability and thus requires MP, he cannot use them if his MP is fully depleted.

Final Fantasy III
An Elixir can be used to cure Cid's sick wife, allowing the party to go down into his basement (to get eight items from his chests). Ordinary Elixirs can also be obtained. The Elixir for Cid's sick wife is not a key item, and thus can be also used as a basic potion, but this is not recommended.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
Elixirs restore HP and MP to one target. They can be bought in B1 of the Depths for 100,000 gil each.

Final Fantasy V
Elixir is also a Mix result, and can be achieved by either of the following:
 * Potion + Elixir
 * Hi-Potion + Elixir
 * Ether + Elixir
 * Elixir x2
 * Elixir + Holy Water
 * Elixir + Antidote
 * Elixir + Eye Drops

Final Fantasy VI
An Elixir can be found in many houses throughout the world hidden in clocks.

Final Fantasy VII
Curiously, using an Elixir in battle can trigger the Cover ability, where the character with the Cover Materia steps in to receive the Elixir instead of the intended person. Also there is a glitch that lets the player get infinite Elixirs at Great Glacier. Magic Pots demand Elixirs and yield plentiful rewards if appeased. The player can multiply Elixirs easily with the W-Item duplication bug.

Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-
Elixirs fully restore HP and MP.

Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-
Elixirs fully restore the player's HP and MP. They cannot be purchased.

Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-
Elixir fully restores HP, MP, AP, and removes status ailments. Depending on what type of Materia is used in Materia Fusion, an Elixir can grant HP+10% MP+10% or AP+10%. Elixirs can't be purchased or obtained from enemies. They can be found in treasure chests and obtained as mission rewards (mission 6-2-4 gives 20), and obtained randomly from the Magic Pot summon.

Final Fantasy X


Elixir recovers HP and MP for one party member up to a cap of 9,999 HP and 999 MP, making it less effective if the character is using the Break HP Limit and Break MP Limit abilities. In addition to being a normal item, Elixir can also be created using Rikku's Mix Overdrive.

Final Fantasy X-2
The Alchemist dressphere has the special Stash ability, allowing the character to use Elixirs for free, though obtaining this ability takes a lot of time, requiring 999 AP to achieve.

Final Fantasy XI
An Elixir restores HP and MP by 25%, and is either crafted by alchemists or obtained as a temporary item. There also exists "Dusty Elixir" temporary items during some events with the same effect. The high quality synth is a "Hi-Elixir" which restores HP and MP by 50%.

There also exists "Vile Elixirs", which take effect instantly (as opposed to normal 10 second use delay), but are only dropped off of certain high Notorious Monsters and Battlefield events.

Final Fantasy XII
The Elixir is a rare item that restores a single unit's HP and MP to full. It requires rare loot to make at the bazaar and can be found as uncommon treasure in some treasure urns, usually only when Diamond Armlet is equipped.

In the bazaar making an Elixir requires High Arcana x1, Demon Drink x3, and Ambrosia x3 with 36,000 gil. The pack can be created multiple times.

The southernmost treasure in the Echoes of the Past area in the Nabreus Deadlands can have an Elixir without the need to equip the Diamond Armlet. This treasure is good for farming because it spawns 80% of the time, and has only 15% chance to contain gil.

In Pharos 1st Ascent, just north of the second Waystone, is a treasure hidden behind a fake wall. It has 65% chance to spawn, 80% chance to contain items, if which there is a 50% chance for Elixir without Diamond Armlet. If it's not Elixir, it's a Hi-Potion. There is thus a 26% chance to get an Elixir per run. After the Waystones are activated one can get there quickly from the Gate Crystal just downstairs.

In the Zodiac versions, an Elixir also fully restores a character's Mist Charge gauge used for Quickenings. This greatly enhances its value, as Ethers and Hi-Ethers only restore a minute portion of this gauge, which otherwise recovers slowly over time unless the player touches a Save Crystal, is otherwise fully healed, or uses the even rarer Megalixir item.

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
Although actual items do not appear, Elixir is an enemy skill that restores all HP to the user.

Final Fantasy XIII
The Elixir is an extremely rare item which restores the HP of all party members and recovers all TP for the party leader. Only one Elixir can be found in treasure spheres, which is guarded by an Immortal in an unrevisitable area of Orphan's Cradle.

The only other method of obtaining Elixirs is by dismantling Doctor's Codes at their maximum level. As there are only three Doctor's Codes in the game, it is only possible to obtain a maximum of four Elixirs, of which two can be permanently missed.

Final Fantasy XIII-2
Elixirs revive all allies from KO, fully restores HP, and charges the Feral Link gauge, in addition to making full ATB skills usable again if they've been already used in that battle. The main way to obtain elixirs is to purchase them in Serendipity for a high number of coins, although the DLC enemy PuPu has Elixir as a rare drop too. Elixir is also a prize for winning either the Manasvin or Myrmidon Cups at Guardian Class at the chocobo races in Serendipity.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII
The Elixir is a very difficult item to obtain, but is the most powerful, as it fully restores Lightning's HP, EP, and ATB gauges, and casts a multitude of status enhancements on her. Elixirs can be obtained by selling 100 soul seeds to the soul seed merchants on the first playthrough, or 80 soul seeds on every playthrough after that. Elixirs could also be purchased for 360,000 gil from Outerworld characters.

Obtaining an Elixir by any means awards the Unearthly Apothecary achievement.

Final Fantasy XIV
Elixirs, like all other items, are subject to a cooldown timer shared between all items.

The following enemies have a chance of dropping Elixirs: Goblin [dungeon] (3%), Aramusha (5%), Arachne (8%), Ariadne (8%), and Deathclaw (8%). Elixirs can be used as components during Elemancy crafting, and their added effect is Tricast.
