Heal value

The descriptive text on the Life Elixir is correct -- it gives a full Health heal despite what the numerical part of the tooltip says. I see this was removed from the page a while back (perhaps because it also erroneously stated that it had a full stamina heal too) but it is true. I will add it back in, but first will post the justification here. The code reference for this behavior (1.3.28) is StardewValley.Menus.BuffsDisplay.tryToAddDrinkBuff():

else if (b.source.Equals("Life Elixir"))
{
    Game1.player.health = Game1.player.maxHealth;
}

Additionally I have verified this in game on unmodded 1.3.28 with a nearly new character save-edited to have very high max health & stamina. Life Elixir healed 998 health (to max) and 200 stamina.

Ah yes, I remember testing this in-game when I had found all but one stardrop, and had no health bar showing, and it did not fill the bar. I didn't make the distinction between energy & health! Thanks so much for fixing this! margotbean (talk) 15:34, 3 September 2018 (BST)

Recent changes to the article

Ahem. My edit was misread by Margotbean. It did not say Life Elixir restores full energy only sometimes. It is comparing the effects of Life Elixir with that of separate consumption of its ingredients. It is *because* Life Elixir restores to full energy that it sometimes exceeds the effect of separate consumption, but that is only possible if your energy is down more than 220 points from your current maximum level. Margotbean's edit introduced implied something entirely different, and that implication was incorrect. But SquishyJunimo's correction did not help, because its implication is also incorrect. The "sometimes" part is that Life Elixir sometimes delivers more than its combined ingredients, but only when you need sufficient energy. I believe my original edit said that, so I'm restoring that edit. Butterbur (talk) 07:12, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

Let's be clear -- Life Elixir always restores full health, not energy (3rd sentence on the page). My edit was incorrect, changing "less" to "more" was correct. Saying that individual mushrooms restore more health is incorrect in all cases, because, well, they don't. margotbean (talk) 18:28, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

The Dwarf

The Dwarf sells this for 2000g, so that should be added to the page. --Zamiel (talk) 05:30, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
