Two Life flasks, Quicksilver, a Mana flask and a Ruby Flask, on keys 1 to 5.

Five flask slots on keys 1 to 5: two Life flasks, Quicksilver, a Mana flask and a Ruby Flask.

Flasks are your potions

You carry up to five flasks and drink them with keys 1 to 5. They refill as you fight, so drink them freely instead of saving them.

Charges

Each drink uses some of a flask's charges. A Small Life Flask holds 21 and uses 7, so it has three drinks. Killing monsters refills charges: a normal monster gives 1, a magic one 3.5, a rare 6 and a unique 11. Entering a town or your hideout fills every flask.

Life and Mana over time

Life and Mana flasks heal over a few seconds, not all at once, so drink before you're nearly dead. A Grand Life Flask recovers 640 Life over 3 seconds. Hybrid flasks heal both.

Utility flasks

Utility flasks don't heal. They give a bonus for a few seconds:

  • Quicksilver (level 4): 40% increased Movement Speed for 6 seconds.
  • Bismuth (level 8): +35% to all Elemental Resistances.
  • Ruby (level 18): +40% to Fire Resistance and +5% to maximum Fire Resistance. Sapphire and Topaz do the same for Cold and Lightning.
  • Granite (level 27): +1500 to Armour.
  • Jade (level 27): +1500 to Evasion Rating.

Magic flasks

Flasks can be Magic, with a prefix and a suffix. Two worth looking for while levelling:

  • Seething (prefix): Instant Recovery, but 66% reduced Amount Recovered.
  • of Sealing (suffix): Immunity to Bleeding for a few seconds if used while Bleeding.
