=== Leveling alternatives ===

==== Alternatives for Potions of Spirit Restoration ====
The only alternative to Potions of Spirit Restoration are [[Potion of Body Restoration|Potions of Body Restoration]] due to market and ingredients reasons: you can sell them to NPC at a similar price as Potions of Spirit Restoration - they weight less and stack, so selling to NPC is actually better than with Potions of Spirit Restoration, which is what you'll mostly have to do as demand is low. The disadvantages of Potions of Body Restoration compared to those of Spirit Restoration are the much longer harvest times if you harvest yourself (no double [[Sunflower]] patches and [[Rose Quartz]] seems to be longer than [[Blue Quartz]]) as well as the higher food demand, which will have the mixer waiting on [[cooldown]] more often than when making Potions of Spirit Restoration. If you buy the ingredients you will most likely be able to make similar experience and money per hour as with Potions of Spirit Restoration. On the other hand, you can consider the XP gain during a marathon grinding session. Compare 4000 mixes of SR's and BR's, and the 40k xp difference between the two potion types will seem to accommodate the extra harvesting time. This equates to roughly 570 fewer sets of ingredients (wine, quartz, vials, food, time...). Above all, 15gc per sale buys three empty vials from one BR potion, thus increasing your stock for the next phase of grinding. 

Other potions around these levels (until you can start considering True sight potions) are unsuited for leveling due to either animal ingredients or no demand in combination with no NPC market.

==== Alternatives for True sight potions ====
Currently, the only potion which offers a similar cost-performance ratio is [[Poison Antidote]]. While the recipe calls for two more purchased items ([[ale]]), the other ingredients are harvested as opposed to roadkill ([[Deer Antlers]]). The extra cost may be a significant decision point when one considers that [[Deer Antlers]] don't stack while [[Poison Antidote]] do. This wasn't true before, however that was then.
