Elixirs (特効薬 Tokkōyaku) are HP-restoring items that restore all of a character's HP when used. They always have three uses. They are the best health restoring item, followed by concoctions, vulneraries, and then herbs. Healing spells are sometimes more useful as they sometimes restore status conditions (sleep, poison, stone, etc.) They cost 3,000 Gold and have only 3 uses. Usually when characters join you later in the game they come with an elixir or a vulnerary.
