A dubious concoction that Grandpa takes pride in, packed into an old bottle. Just as the in-game description says—”so strong you’ll forget who you were”—it is, in other words, a drink that resets your learned skill points so you can respec them. When you use it, a reset confirmation message pops up, so there’s relatively little worry about accidentally triggering it by mistake.
When to use it
- You fumbled your skill allocation early on, and it no longer fits your late-game build
- You want to try a build swap, such as going from melee-focused to ranged-focused
- You want to rebuild your character to match a new profession or role-play
This is an item for those “I want to redo the character growth I once committed to” situations. Since it serves as the prerequisite for respeccing, it’s a good idea to keep it in mind as an option once you start thinking about changing direction.
How to obtain and where it fits
“Grandpa’s ___” drinks are often found in trader stock or through exploration, and it’s safe to think of this elixir too as the kind you obtain and stockpile rather than craft. If you get one, hold onto it instead of consuming it, and use it when you want to switch up your growth strategy—that’s the smart way to run it.
Note that what the reset rolls back is only your allocated points; it’s meant to not lower your actual level. Before using it, jotting down your current skill build will make redistribution after the respec go smoothly. Carefully, but boldly—here’s a drink for trying out a new you.
As an aside, this kind of reset item can behave differently depending on the server’s MOD configuration. For the actual fine details (whether it’s one-time-only, its impact on level, and so on), we recommend testing it once in your deployed environment before using it in production.
