    Default Potion of Wonder Effects?

    I have occassionally pulled these infamous Potions of Wonder and have used them everytime. I have never really gotten a great effect out of them despite their exorbitant price for a pot. I haven't seen a link in the forums for the various effects that are possible from a Potion of Wonder so I thought I'd start a thread. What effects have you gotten from a Potion of Wonder? Has anyone gotten anything truly wonderous, like a perm stat increase or something? Mine are listed below:

    Acid resistance (who cares)
    Hero's Feast (kinda useful at the right time)
    Cure Serious Wounds (ok useful, but not really wonder)

    Arrow Spellpoints

    250 Spell points. It was exact. Not sure if just an unusual even number or always 250.

    I love potions of wonder!!!

    I have gotten so many diff things from them, some good, some bad~~

    mnemonic pot (spell points)
    enervation (3 neg lvls, doh!)
    resists
    healing (cure mod, serious)
    flesh to stone

    I don't think they give anything like a stat increase, just basically any effect you can get from either a spell or a pot.

    They are kinda cool actually. I always hope that I'll get something really cool, but never do.

    My wife drinks every one that anyone pulls in our Guild. She drinks them immediately whether that is in quest or at the mailbox.

    So far we've seen :

    Flesh to Stone
    Disintegrate
    Harm
    Heroism
    Greater Heroism
    Water Breathing
    All Cure Spells sans Mass ones
    All attribute boosting spells ~ Bull's Strength , ect.
    Mnemonic Enhancer
    And several different Clerical buffs ~ Aid, ect.
    ( Plus others previosly mentioned. Tenser's is "the spikey thing" as she calls it)

    adding to the list...
    Chaos hammer,
    orders wrath.
    tumble
    jump
    stat buffs: eagle, fox, bull, cat, owl, etc.
    false life

    Essentially a potion of wonder is a chaos orb in a bottle.

    only... I've never gotten ham from one.

    They lie.

    Pretty much, the PoWs mimic any spell effect in the game. I've never seen one act as a mnemonic potion, but I guess that's not too outlandish. But, for somebody to claim a level off of one is just rank BS.

    I gained 250 xp, and it was enough for me to level or maybe some optional was completed at the same time...

    Be careful what you say and how you say, especially when you add lib details. It come back and bite you...

    Best for me was when i drank one of burning blood. Nothing like explaining to your party/guild member why you started taking damage. Have also had various heals, haste, and mana (nothing like seeing the blue pop above your head on a rogue) from them.

    Have consumed 2.

    One was a Heal (checked combat log at the time).

    The other was a Mnemonic of some sort. I was on a lowbie and it maxed me back up. 250 woulda done it.

    The Boondockers on Argo have a guild (kinda joke) rule that if you find one you must drink it. We've had some nice effects like heals and buffs but also some insta deaths like disintigrate. So much fun.
