Please label tri effect player made potions correctly.

aenax

I just made some of these tri-effect potions and not only there are labeled as " healing potions" but they also use the same icon thant regular healing potions that drop a lot from any monster.

Please use another name and another icon, we are not all Argonian and restoring all the 3 ressources is quite different from healing.

Since it affect everyone i m posting here, it could go either into the crafter section or into the combat section, so posting in general.

PS : it is a 3mn change.

It would be nice if they did that. I have to watch what I do when I'm clearing the bags.

They will also count for writs and seem to often get prioritized over my crafted ones 1 stat potions. At least I noticed this quite often in the past when I still did writs regularly.

xaraan

I've asked for this multiple times in feedback and threads in the past, be nice if they would listen to this pain point. Really expensive watching them get prioritized for writs over basic crafted health pots (especially when its the more expensive versions made with mother of pearl).

It’s not just those. Spell Power + Spell Crit potions have the same name and icon as Spell Power + Minor Breach potions, which reduce the user’s Resistance (who hasn’t been scammed by this yet?). Also the most expensive potions, Minor Heroism, are simply called Magicka potions (very easy to accidentally sell to a vendor for nearly nothing).

Yes i have the same problem, one guildmate told me that once can "lock" items but it does not work with consumables. Thanks for adding the issue with spell power etc, i only made a few spell power potions, but only the one giving crit chance and spell damage so i was not aware that the problem is more general. At least spell power ones do not look like magicka potions.

idk

I have always found it odd that the name does not even begin to describe the potion. It is laziness in design.

Good point - but a bit to short for my opinion.

I'm using a lot of char for daily crafting and PvP. They have so many potions and poisons for PvP and already crafted ones for the dailys too.
They all have the same names if there is the same part inside - even if they all have differnet 2nd and 3rd stats.
To find the right ones is a pain for me.

It would really helpful if they could do anything to make this better - I guess if we could define our own colors, It would be the best for me, but I would except any improvment. (Just in case - if there is an add-on? it would be nice to know, but I try to install as less as possible to spare any performance for the base game - it really needs any % )

Seems the potions inherit the name of the greatest effect on the potion. I agree with you allin that this needs to be updated a bit, especially considering how many kinds of multiple trait potions you can make.

There is a stam equivalent to the magicka one that debuffs you. I've seen the priced the same as the weapon power pots and it'll just be like a stack of those among legit pots. It's super sleazy. Potions can definitely use a touch-up on their names.

I just don’t understand why you can lock poisons (which I just recently learned 😳) and not potions.

MartiniDaniels

There are so many colors in RGB palette and we are stuck with "potion of health" and same color for huge variety of potions. I'm sure it is one hour of work to change that.
ZOS, really.

Firstmep

The crown version is actually called tri-restoration potion, they could start there.

tyvm What a hidden gem - next 20mins I have something to do

It's really a starting point which costs them almost no effort (I guess and hope) if they do it for potions too.

Integral1900

Yep, spell power potions look identical to trash magic ones that I regularly dump on npcs, pretty sure that sneaky merchant in belkarth has made a fair bit out of me over time 😆

xaraan

Is it possible to get this fixed @ZOS_GinaBruno ? It seems like a minor problem, but it's a pretty big inconvenience (if that makes sense) and if it's an easy fix, could be a good quality of life improvement for not a lot of work.

Zabagad

It's sad that this thread landed on page 125
Just to bring it back to live, bc I think this is really a very good point...

One hour of work, but potentially years of debugging to make it work as intended...

It would be nice, though, if they just added the words "enhanced" or "spoiled" to the name to indicate that there are additional beneficial or detrimental effects in a potion apart from the main one. And recognizing the tri-stat restoration potions as such and naming them appropriately shouldn't be all that difficult.

Rowjoh

very good point here. the design needs a complete overhaul.

not only do we get the same name and icon for completely different potions, the icons themselves are old and tired.

Artmetis

Or Novice/Intermediate?

After accidentally selling a stack of power pots once, all of my used pots and poisons get put into my Junk section where they do not show up on vendor list. Keep many other random things in there as well, and no I have never accidentally sold my Junk xD

Names colour coded like food for all potions would be perfect also. I also feel that just granting a potion its name from the first effect listed is stupid, it's confusing and forces people to read the entire description--that might just be laziness on my part, but don't think it's the most intuitive labelling either way. Tri-pots should be called something similar to what they actually do, for example (and have a purple icon).

This is an example of a UI feature being used for the exact opposite of its intended purpose. While undoubtedly functional as a creative stop-gap measure, it's a tell-tale sign of a fundamental flaw in the UI design. Selling your junk items has a shortcut key in the vendor dialog, and using it to "lock" items is just.... wrong.

Awesome!

So daft that such a basic common sense feature has to be provided by an addon.

Yeah, I've been using this add-on for awhile and it really, really helps. Another one of those that should be integrated into the game so everyone benefits.

tyvm! That will help a lot.
Even if that is just a start, but I will try that immediately.
Maybe I'm able afterwards to change it a bit more towards my needs.

So - good that I brought the thread back to the top
