Vanilla Potions

[DrakeHaze. 2524]

#Nature of the bug:
Game breaking

#First occurrence: (Providing an exact time helps us locate the error messages, which can help in fixing the bug)
I looked at an auctioneer for shiny things and saw vanilla regen potions.

# Describe exactly all the actions you took leading up to the bug: 
I walked up to the npc, and was shocked.

# What messages are/aren't you getting that you would/wouldn't get normally : (in the event of a crash, please also provide the error log)
n/a

# Frequency of occurrence:
i was told during last map by wolfkite that vanilla potions were obtainable through caskets. This should be fixed immediately, incase you do not understand why this is an issue firstly I found 3 at the cloud temple docks, then 5 in felsen auction. Clearly there has been a stockpile of these potions and are being hidden away somewhere, used in warclaims and being sold for high profit since they are vanilla potions with no drawbacks. These potions give 1 heart every 2.5 seconds. Not a big deal? It is when you can just pot up either before or after fighting, being able to get back into the fight only after a few moments without worrying about eating or your hunger ticking. When you are hungry, you do not regen hearts NATURALLY.

# Are you able to reproduce the bug: 
I honestly do not farm caskets, I don't want to fish for hours to get them.

EDIT: Btw I made 3 modreqs about this already.

I was told you can get them from caskets, regen 1 pots aren't really that great to begin with

I think the strong Nexus potions are the problem..

I've gotten a few from caskets. I told Kalen months ago, obviously hasn't patched it.

That potion is there on purpose, it's not super great, and there are better potions in the alchemy recipes. They are just cheaper since you get them from caskets.

Either way, a plugin to not allow vanilla potions to normal players (those without ET/GM/etc pex) has been accepted, so any problem of vanilla potions will be quickly a non problem.

I agree there are better potions in the alchemy profession. Chug a potion and get iron armor ontop of your iron armor and counter the slowness while riding a horse, effectively taking less damage than you would take while wearing diamond armor and being a speed demon not having to worry about getting hit since you and your horse cannot die. Balance.

Why would ET be allowed to use the vanilla potions? There are ET members that pvp too, this does infact give them an advantage.

Don't worry, the plugin that stops players from getting on a horse with slowness has also been accepted (also drinking potions on a horse that give slowness), so far less abusable.

ETs would be allowed to more easily give themselves potion effects for events and the like, I assume.
