Potions and Remedies
One of the basic foundations of the battle system, this collection of items can save your life and should be kept to hand at all times. Each of these may be used either in or out of battle, with largely similar results, but note that to use them during combat you must junction the Item ability.
| Potion | |||
|---|---|---|---|

| Refine | 1xMesmerize Blade -> 2xMega-Potion (Recov Med-RF)
1xHealing Ring -> 20xMega-Potion (Recov Med-RF) 4xTent -> 1xMega-Potion (Recov Med-RF) 2xCottage -> 1xMega-Potion (Recov Med-RF) | ||
| Win | Seifer (Galbadia) | Mug | |
| Phoenix Down | |||
| Usage | A true lifesaver. Phoenix Downs are one of the few ways to revive fallen allies, and are certainly one of the most common. As such they should be bought in huge quantities because combat is a dangerous game. After reviving, a character will have a fraction of their maximum HP, and will be free of any status ailments they may have suffered from prior to death. A Phoenix Down will instantly kill a zombie. | ||
| Refine | 1xLife Ring -> 2xPhoenix Down (Recov Med-RF)
1xPhoenix Spirit -> 100xPhoenix Down (Recov Med-RF) 1xRegen Ring -> 8xPhoenix Down (Recov Med-RF) | ||

Mug | Esthar Soldier (Blue) G-Soldier Gerogero Guard |
| Mega Phoenix | |||
| Usage | "Mega" + "Phoenix," bringing all characters back from the dead. As one must be alive in order to use it, this is effectively equivalent to using two Phoenix Downs at once. | ||
| Refine | 3xMega Phoenix -> 1xPhoenix Pinion (Tool-RF) | ||
| Win | Mug | Seifer (Galbadia) | |
| Elixir | |||
| Usage | The Elixir is an in-one panacea for your ills, restoring its target to full HP and curing any status ailments they may have. As a result, they are very rare and to be treasured. | ||
| Refine | N/A | ||
| Win | Biggs (Dollet) Biggs (Prison) |
Mug | Biggs (Dollet) Edea (Deling) Sphinxaur X-ATM092 |
| Megalixir | |||
| Usage | The pattern should be obvious by now. Full HP restoration and status healing for all (active) party members at once. Rarer than an intelligent, well-thought-out observation by Zell. | ||
| Refine | N/A | ||
| Win | Fujin (Balamb) Sphinxara |
Mug | Fujin (Balamb) |
| Antidote | |||
| Usage | A quick and effective way to cure Poison. It only works on the status ailment, not the element, and will not prevent the user from being poisoned again in the future. | ||
| Refine | 1xAntidote -> 1xBio (ST Mag-RF)
1xVenom Fang -> 10xAntitode (ST Med-RF) 1xPoison Powder -> 3xAntitode (ST Med-RF) | ||
| Win | Mug | ||
| Soft | |||
| Usage | Cure for the rare state of being Petrified. As petrification effectively removes a character from active duty entirely, it is vital that it be resolved as soon as possible. | ||
| Refine | 1xSoft -> 3xBreak (ST Mag-RF)
1xCockatrice Pinion -> 3xSoft (ST Med-RF) | ||
| Win | Mug | ||
| Eye Drops | |||
| Usage | Fast-acting healing for the eyes, curing Darkness for whoever it is used upon. For physical fighters with less than perfect accuracy, darkness renders their attacks virtually useless. | ||

1xOchu Tentacle -> 3xEye Drops (ST Med-RF) | ||
| Win | Mug | ||
| Echo Screen | |||

| Refine | 1xEcho Screen -> 2xSilence (ST Mag-RF)
1xSilence Powder -> 3xEcho Screen (ST Med-RF) | ||
| Win | Mug | ||
| Holy Water | |||
| Usage | Useful items against the rare statuses of Zombie and Curse. Under the former, restorative magic and items instead cause damage, making its sufferer unable to heal. Under the latter, the character is unable to use limit breaks. | ||
| Refine | 1xHoly Water -> 2xZombie (L Mag-RF)
1xZombie Powder -> 3xHoly Water (ST Med-RF) | ||
| Win | Mug | ||
| Remedy | |||

| Win | Gesper Guard Paratrooper Wedge (Prison) |
Mug | Guard Paratrooper |
| Remedy+ | |||
| Usage | The upgraded form of the Remedy, curing even the rare status ailments like Vit 0. However, it's really not worth wasting them on such frivolent uses. Instead, their primary purpose is to gain the GF Doomtrain, for which you need to find six. | ||
| Refine | N/A | ||
| Win | Mug | ||
