Item:Potion of Wonder
Potions of Wonder are wonder-ful things. One will create a single completely random effect when quaffed, sometimes beneficial and sometimes not so much.
History:
- In U16.1 Potions of Wonder got an overhaul. In addition to stacking in the inventory, they acquired hundreds of potential effects.
Sources[edit]
- Potions of Wonder can be found in chests of all levels at a pretty decent frequency.
- They can also be found in breakables of all levels.
- The above two sources means the Auction House usually has quite a few listed.
- Antiquity collector Mela Thryn in Lordsmarch Plaza will trade you 1 Potion of Wonder for 1 Oceanic Sphere.
- Purchase from the DDO Store.
