Introduction
Elixirs are very popular amongst farmers, levelers, or people who want to clear maps/campaigns quickly. There are a wide variety of different elixirs ranging from damage elixirs to luck elixirs. In this thread I will discuss the groups of elixir, the specific elixir, the ways you can receive/purchase the elixir, and how to use an elixir efficiently.
Elixirs and Ways to Get Elixir
Damage Elixirs:
Melee Meade
Requirement: Level 1
Cost: 2000 gold/2k gold
Boost: 1.5x Damage for 5 minutes.
Description: Your damage will be increased for 5 (five) minutes as soon as you purchase this potion.
Does the elixir pause in town? Yes
Get elixir by: Purchasing from store
Opinions: I really think that this elixir isn't worth your 2k. 1.5x barely does you enough justice against mobs, bosses, or any kind of enemy in general.
Pros:
-Very cheap
Cons:
-Not worth money
-1.5x barely does enough
Crazy Melee Meade
Requirement: Level 1
Cost: 3 platinum
Description: Your damage will be increased for 30 (thirty) minutes as soon as you purchase this potion.
Does this elixir pause in town? Yes
Get elixir by: Purchasing from store
Opinions: This elixir could be very useful against enemies, especially because it doubles your damage, and your damage is doubled for 30 minutes! It is also very cheap (3 platinum). Although it can't compare to the best elixirs, this could be useful if you don't have a lot of platinum.
Pros:
-Very cheap
-Damage doubled
-30 minutes of double damage.
Cons:
24 Hour 1.25x Damage Elixir
Requirement: Level 1
Cost: Free
Boost: 1.25x Damage
Description: ---
Does this elixir pause in town? No
Get elixir by: Daily Blessing
Opinions: This is a great elixir because it is stackable. If you stack this to a thrasher, you would get 3.25x damage, which is great. This is free, too, which makes it a great elixir overall, even if it's only 1.25x.
Pros:
-Free
-Stackable
-Lasts 24 hours
Cons:
-Doesn't pause in town
24 Hour 1.5x Damage Elixir
Requirement: Level 1
Cost: Free
Boost: 1.5x Damage
Description: ---
Get elixir by: Daily Blessing

Pros:
-Free
-Stackable
-Lasts 24 hours
Cons:
-Doesn't pause in town
Armor Elixirs:
Tanker's Ale Elixir
Requirement: Level 1
Boost: 1.5x Armor
Cost: 2000 gold/2k gold
Description: Your armor will be increased for 5 (five) minutes as soon as you purchase this potion
Get elixir by: Purchasing from store
Opinions: This elixir is just downright bad. You do not need 1.5x armor to survive, and you definitely do not want to waste 2000 gold.
Pros:
Cons:
-1.5x is not good
-Wastes 2000 gold
Crazy Tanker's Ale Elixir
Requirement: Level 1
Boost: 2x Armor

Does this elixir pause in town? No

Luck Elixirs:
Shamus' Shamrock Ale
Requirement: Level 1
Cost: 20 platinum
Boost: 100% chance re-roll
Description: This brew is infused with an ancient magic which grants a 100% chance to re-roll for better loot, if better loot is available!
Does this elixir pause in town? Yes
Opinions: This elixir is great for farming, and farming only. You get 30 minutes of 100% re-roll, which is great, especially if you are a hardcore farmer.
Pros:
-30 min.
-100% re-roll
Cons:
-For farming only
Combo Elixirs:
Trash Can Punch
Requirement: Level 1
Cost: 7000 gold/7k
Boost: 1.5X Damage, Armor, and XP per mob
Description: Play with 1.5X XP, Armor, and Damage for 5 minutes! Includes Better Luck and Fast Run Speed!
Does this elixir pause in town? Yes
Get elixir by: Purchasing from store
Opinions: I really do not think this is something you want to spend 7k for. As I said with all the other 2k elixirs, 1.5x doesn't do much. All that's really worth is the extra luck and fast run speed, and that's only worth half of the price you spend for the elixir. If you really want the 1.5x combo elixir, and nothing else, just buy the Playa's Potion, Tanker's Ale Elixir, and Melee Meade, and you only have to pay 6k instead of 7k.
Pros:
Cons:
-Expensive
-Not worth the money
-1.5x doesn't do much
-Only luck and run speed matters
Insane Trash Can Punch/Free Daily Elixir
Requirement: Level 1
Cost: 5 platinum/free
Boost: 3x XP, Armor, and Damage
Description: Play with 3x XP, Armor, and Damage for 5 minutes! Includes Better Luck and Fastest Run Speed!
Does this elixir pause in town? Yes
Get elixir by: Purchasing from store/Receive for free DAILY from Vincent the Vendor
Opinions: Very good elixir. What I do not recommend though is buying this very often. You should take advantage of the free elixir that you get from Vincent at the beginning of each map.
Pros:
-3X Combo
-Free daily from Vincent the Vendor
Cons:
-5 min.
Crazy Dumpster Punch
Requirement: Level 1
Cost: 8 platinum
Boost: 2X XP, Armor, and Damage
Description: Play with 2X XP, Armor, and Damage for 30 minutes! Includes Better Luck and Faster Run Speed!
Does this elixir pause in town? Yes
Get elixir by: Purchasing from store
Opinions: I think this elixir is also very impressive. You get to play with double XP, armor, and damage for a good 30 minutes. If I were to compare this and the Insane Trash Can Punch, I think this would win. But if I were to compare this to the free daily elixir (same thing), the daily elixir would win because it's free
Pros:
-2X for 30 minutes
-Cheap
Cons:
Wicked Dumpster Punch
Requirement: Level 1
Cost: 20 Platinum
Boost: 3x XP, Armor, and Damage

Opinions: This is my favorite elixir. There is nothing wrong with it, 40 platinum is worth every single piece platinum when you get 4x XP, 3x Armor, 3x Damage, improved Luck, AND a 30% Speed Boost. And that's not all; it lasts for 60 minutes.
Pros:
-3x Combo w/ 4x XP

How to Use Elixirs and Why We Use Elixirs
One of the main reasons people use elixirs is to level up. The process of leveling up in the game without an elixir is very slow, and that is why people slap on an elixir so that the process is faster.
Another reason is farming. Farming is the act of repeatedly doing a level over and over in order to get the loot they want. Say you want to get a level 50 sentinel shotgun, and you are a pure dexterity bird. If you buy a Classy Looter, than the chances of getting a sentinel shotgun are a lot higher.
How to use elixirs effectively. Here are some of the techniques that I've learned from continuous farming, and leveling up.
Leaving when boss is dead
You want to leave right when the boss is dead, so you don't waste any of your elixir. Even a tiny bit of elixir wasted can still be a big problem, especially if you're using a 5 minute elixir.
When dead, don't respawn in beginning
You do not want to respawn back to the beginning, because it is time consuming to walk all the way back to where you were. One of the huge risks of this is when you die from boss. Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT RESPAWN! Chances are that the team will most likely have beaten the boss and you will be left with no loot. If you do happen to die in the middle of the stage, though, try to get a mage to revive you, or buy the 1 platinum option of respawning right where you are.
Buy elixirs from tier 3 guild halls
If you are in a tier 3 guild, go to the guild hall to purchase the elixir. You get a discount and that could save you some platinum. (Ty wammm!)

Farming with Elixirs Effectively
A lot of people buy an elixir and waste most of it because he/she doesn't join immediately after the host remakes a game. If you want to farm with a team, you have to join the team very quickly, so that you don't waste your elixir, and your teammates don't waste their elixir when waiting for you. Some reasons that make you late are 1. your inventory is full 2. your experiencing major lag 3. your away from keyboard. Let's say I am farming level 51 sewer gear in The Catacombs. This is what I would do:
1. Join immediately after host makes game. This is very important because if you don't join immediately after the host makes the game, you will fall behind.
2. Know where to go. You want to have knowledge of where you are going. For example, if you took a path different from your teammates, you could get lost and waste your elixir. Even in that time period in which you were lost, your teammates could have already killed the boss leaving you with no loot. You would waste that amount of time because you took a different path than your teammates.
3.Be aware of your health bar. Be VERY aware of your health bar. If you die, than re-spawning wastes time, and you would have to walk all the way back. I would suggest you to choose the 1 platinum option if there wasn't a mage on your team.
4.After you defeat boss, rejoin quickly. DO NOT JUST SIT IN THE MAP WAITING FOR THE HOST TO REMAKE. You waste your elixir that way. Press the log out button so that you don't waste any of your elixir.
How Stackable Elixirs Work
Stackable elixirs are elixirs that can merge onto other elixirs for an increased effect. Stackable elixirs work like this: Suppose you have a 3x Damage Elixir, and you add it on to a 1.25x Damage Elixir. What you have to do is take 1x out of the equation because the 1x is your basic stat. So basically it's 3x + .25x = 3.25x Damage. Another example is if it's double xp weekend. You buy a thrasher, you get a 24 HR. 1.5x XP Elixir, and you buy a week-long double xp elixir. The equation would be 4x XP + (3x Damage - 1) + (3x Armor - 1) + (1.5x XP - 1) + 2x XP. The answer would be 6.5x XP, 2x Damage, 2x Armor. The XP Elixir would last 49 hours, but 48 of those hours don't pause in town. Your Damage and Armor would last 1HR. each. A common mistake that people do to calculate the sum of the elixir and the stackable elixir is that they forget to take 1x out of the stackable elixir. Another mistake that people make is that they MULTIPLY the stackable elixir by the regular elixir, so the equation would be like this. (3x Combo -1) x 3x Combo = 6x Combo. This equation would be wrong because you're not supposed to multiply the stackable by the regular. Another mistake is subtracting one from ALL of the addends. You only subtract 1 per variable. So you wouldn't subtract 1x twice when you have 2 XP variables.
