Making their debut, the special medicine will restores 90~120 HP to a single party member. It is created by mixing two [[strong medicine]]s in an [[Alchemy Pot]]. Three special medicines can be found in [[treasure chest]]s in the [[Maella Region]], [[Empycchu]], and at [[Marta's Cottage]] after acquiring the [[Ultimate key]]. They can also be commonly dropped by [[Jabberwockee]]s and [[Boss troll]]s. Special medicine is also the first item that Dodgy Dave in [[Pickham]] will request, giving the player 500 gold coins in exchange for the first time, then 400 for subsequent turn-ins. In the Nintendo 3DS version, special medicine can also be found randomly in level 2 blue treasure chests. | |||
In the original Sony PlayStation 2 version, special medicine can be sold for 170 gold coins each for the first 29 sold, 510 gold each for the 30th to 49th sold, then back to 170 for the 50th onward. Since the Alchemy Pot works instantly in the Nintendo 3DS version, special medicine can only be sold for 96 gold coins each for the first 29 sold, 64 gold each for the 30th to 49th sold, then only 32 from the 50th onward. | |||
Special medicine can also be used to make more potent restorative items in the Alchemy Pot, as well: | |||
