Maybe this has already been addressed, but why cant i (Cleric) recharge my mp by using the potions and orbs made using my Apho. skills, when doing Regen. Aura or Heaven's Wrath; but i can use the regular mp pots and other types of foods or candy available for MP/HP recharge during the same action???
I really like to farm materials, but the inability of using these potions and orbs in those cases defeats some (not all) of the purpose of manufacturing these very valuable items...
Please let me know if these question has been already answered or addressed.

    yea it sucks that some can't be used when your channeling something like bb, but apot pots do help a lot when your just normally healing or dding on something like a boss, or even just grinding. So they are worth being made i think. And they come in handy a lot with pking :D

    Whichever was applied last is the one which takes effect.

    The same applies to all buffs. Which means you can overwrtie a good buff with a bad one, so please do check before casting your buffs on other players that they don't already have the icon.

    In your case, yes, this means that you can't stack apothecary items with your buffs. Later apothecary items are BETTER than your buffs, so you can still use them.

    Edit:
    Yes, during maintained spells you can't use most of the pots. I believe the "Instant" ones still work, the instant event food certainly does. (Of course, instant ones regenerate less mana)

    That's NOT what he's talking about, he's asking why you can't use apoth pills while you're channeling for BB or RB...and I have the same question, but the answer is kinda obvious....so you'll buy charms.

    lol, well i just accept that thats how it is, don't really think why they did things that way in a game very closely, because im to busy relaxing lol.

    but he did ask if it was worth his time farming pills, and i said yes it is :D

    Well, yeah, it's worth the time farming, besides if you pop a regen pill before entering BB/RB mode the effect still stands (although it's reduced to 1/4 the effect since it puts you in combat mode) but it IS possible to keep BB up if you pop a 100mp regen pot before entering it and then keep it up with pots, it's just requires perfect timing.

    But, I do wish I could use those awesome 6k mp pills during BB though, makes things so much easier imo.

    Apoth pills can't be used when you're channeling anything, not just for RB/BB. It's probably because those items are so useful and can have so many good effects.

    Imagine what would happen if, say, you could pop invul pots while using nukes on people. Would be a little bit unfair, don't you think?
