Dynamic Potions (2.1.1)
Overview
Are you tired of accidentally selling your expensive heroism potions while dumping your trash potions onto a merchant?
Or maybe you’re tired of having to figure out which “Essence of Health” is the one you’re looking for in the hundreds of listings in a guild store?
Then this addon is for you!
Dynamic Potions is a simple client-sided addon that aims to mitigate the generic (and often confusing) names and icons on some of the many different crafted potions in the game. It was mostly made for myself, as I’ve always been annoyed by how the base-game deals with potion names, and now that I’m starting to play around with unusual potion combinations this problem only got worse for me.
Note: This is simply a visual change that only affects your game. For the server and everyone else the potions still have the very same name and icon as they always had. Therefore, to search these potions on your bank or guild store, you need to use their vanilla name!
Functionalities
Potions now have their main effect (or at least what I consider to be their main effect) as the highlight on their names, and got custom base-game icons for themselves on all levels.
Heroism Potions now carry this name and an exclusive golden crown icon.
Tri-stat Potions now carry this name and a fancy purple icon to match their crown variant.
Potions of both physical and spell resistance now carry those as their names, and received a variant called “Potion of the Unbroken” with an exclusive red crown icon when both effects are in the same potion.
The potion that combines Health recovery, Stamina recovery, and Armor increase now carries the name “Essence of Endurance” and a fancy golden icon.
Note: The vanilla name being shown on the item link and tooltip when hovered over is an intentional feature to allow players to still have easy access to that name to facilitate in-game searching.
Currently Known Limitations
Potions currently are being added to my list manually, so some specific combinations that still fit the scope might not be affected. In-game links to such potions are very much appreciated and will be added asap!
TTC currently does not show prices for the potions affected by this addon. I will work on it asap, but rl is a bit too messy for it atm. The current workaround is to request a price check from someone else or temporarily disable the addon to fetch the prices.
The new names and icons do not show up while crafting the potions at the Alchemy Station. I might look into that in the future, but it’s not a priority.
The new visuals are also currently not visible on the Inventory Insight window.
Requests
That being said, I am accepting new ideas of custom potions to implement as long as I can see that there is actual need for them in the community.
To submit a request, paste a link of the potion you want added, tell me what’s the main use of said potion, and what you believe it’s name should be, like this:
In-game this is called ‘Essence of Magicka”, but it’s actually used for the Minor Heroism buff, so I believe it should be editted to carry the name of “Essence of Heroism” instead:
