Read Acquisition Listings as References
The table separates use requirements from recipe or vendor leads. Database and guide entries do not confirm current stock, price, faction access, or a route from your character; check in game.
ItemSparse rows from build 1.60.1.70205 identify item requirements; Forever item and spell pages provide effects. Current profession guides list acquisition references. These are database or guide listings, not live observations.
Check the Effect Before Use
- For Mageweave, crafting and use skills differ.
- EZ-Thro's listed stun ends when any damage lands.
- Food and water effects specify sitting.
- No pairwise stacking or combat-use tests were made.
The Mageweave row's “pausable” activity fit is editorial: this guide did not test whether the bandage can be used during combat. The item record states the healing amount and use skill only.
Minor Healing Potion comes from First Aid in Forever; for other potions, see the Alchemy guide. Profession routes are in the Cooking, First Aid, and Engineering guides. For leveling routes, compare RestedXP, Zygor, and Zygor vs. RestedXP.
