Trivia[]

  • In-game an entry called It_Po_Speed, the Potion of Speed exists, with this description: With this potion you can cover long distances in a short period of time. It cannot be collected or found in the game, and you cannot cheat give yourself the item either. Was cut from the game apparently.
  • The Temporary Potions seem to have a bug in their information, every one shows "Talent Ritual" in the stats. -- It's not a bug. Most items have a talent connected to them, which determines their effeciency. For Potions it's Ritual.
