Elixir (item)

The Elixir , also known as Elixer, is a recurring item from the Final Fantasy series. Usually Elixirs completely restore the HP and MP of one ally, and sometimes restores status as well. Megalixir affects the entire party for the same effect. Some games also have a more potent version of the Elixir, called Hi-Elixir.
Magic Pots often want Elixirs and in exchange give plenty of Experience Points.

The Emperor can use Elixirs on himself in the first battle against him, fully restoring his HP and MP. Amusingly, because his use of Elixirs is treated as an enemy ability and thus requires MP, he cannot use them if his MP is fully depleted.

=== Final Fantasy XI ===
An Elixir restores HP and MP by 25%, and is either crafted by alchemists or obtained as a temporary item. There also exists "Dusty Elixir" temporary items during some events with the same effect. The high quality synth is a "Hi-Elixir" which restores HP and MP by 50%.
There also exists "Vile Elixirs", which take effect instantly (as opposed to normal 10 second use delay), but are only dropped off of certain high Notorious Monsters and Battlefield events.
=== Final Fantasy XII ===
The Elixir is a rare item that restores a single unit's HP and MP to full. It requires rare loot to make at the bazaar and can be found as uncommon treasure in some treasure urns, usually only when Diamond Armlet is equipped.
In the bazaar making an Elixir requires High Arcana x1, Demon Drink x3, and Ambrosia x3 with 36,000 gil. The pack can be created multiple times.
In the PS2 version, the southernmost treasure in the Echoes of the Past area in the Nabreus Deadlands can have an Elixir without the need to equip the Diamond Armlet. This treasure is good for farming because it spawns 80% of the time, and has only 15% chance to contain gil. In Pharos 1st Ascent, just north of the second Waystone, is a treasure hidden behind a fake wall. It has 65% chance to spawn, 80% chance to contain items, if which there is a 50% chance for Elixir without Diamond Armlet. If it is not an Elixir, it is a Hi-Potion. There is thus a 26% chance to get an Elixir per run. After the Waystones are activated, one can get there quickly from the Gate Crystal just downstairs.
All treasures have been changed for the Zodiac versions. In the Zodiac versions, an Elixir also fully restores a character's Mist Charge gauge used for Quickenings. This greatly enhances its value, as Ethers and Hi-Ethers only restore a minute portion of this gauge, which otherwise recovers slowly over time unless the player touches a Save Crystal, is otherwise fully healed, or uses the even rarer Megalixir item.
==== Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings ====
Elixir is an enemy skill that restores all HP to the user.
=== Final Fantasy XIII ===
The Elixir is an extremely rare item which restores the HP of all party members and recovers all TP for the party leader. Only one Elixir can be found in treasure spheres, which is guarded by an Immortal in an unrevisitable area of Orphan's Cradle.
The only other method of obtaining Elixirs is by dismantling Doctor's Codes at their maximum level. As there are only three Doctor's Codes, it is only possible to obtain a maximum of four Elixirs, of which two can be permanently missed.
==== Final Fantasy XIII-2 ====
Elixirs revive all allies from KO, fully restores HP, and charges the Feral Link gauge by a small amount, in addition to making full ATB skills usable again if they've been already used in that battle. They can be purchased in Serendipity for a high number of coins, and the DLC enemy PuPu has it as a rare drop. Elixirs are also a prize for winning either the Manasvin or Myrmidon Cups of the Guardian Class at the chocobo races in Serendipity.
==== Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII ====
The Elixir is a very difficult item to obtain, but is the most powerful, as it fully restores Lightning's HP, EP, and ATB gauges, and casts a multitude of status enhancements on her. Elixirs can be obtained by selling 100 soul seeds to the soul seed merchants on the first playthrough, or 80 soul seeds on subsequent playthroughs. Elixirs could also be purchased for 360,000 gil from Outerworld characters.
Obtaining an Elixir by any means awards the Unearthly Apothecary achievement.
