I actually raised this yesterday with a member of staff but got no reply, as the level 42 potions need no flakes. I like that those potions need lesser flakes to craft, it will give flakes a value long term. As eventually there will be so many artisan points in the game that the flake prices will crash.

 

I would even suggest making the level 42 elixirs require 2 flakes to craft! Just to keep a market for the lesser flakes.

 

These potions last one hour (if you dont die ), so are well worth the cost of a lesser flake in my opinion.

I fully agree Mongo, including the 2 flakes for level 42.  Though I think the elixirs should last through death.

I can see your point in this,but I have to say I think there are more people creating alts and leveling alts then there are people doing their dailies all out. for each of those alts created that's another min of 100+ elemental flakes and roughly 100+ lesser flakes needed. Although the lesser flakes may not be a huge deal due to the fact you can grind boondocks for a few hours to obtain,the elemental flakes and future usage of greater flakes can't be farmed in the same manner and require more. 

Sum it up,I would have to disagree with making any potions require flakes tbh. Reason for this is anything over lvl 20 that requires a flake to make is labeled as a heroic,those lvl 24 pots aren't labeled anything above rare,and cooking requires no flakes. Also foraging is the only skill really where the higher tier is more of a challenge then other skills (before snapping continue to read on) Farming=safe skill 100% of the time so isn't interrupted for killing to gather, fishing= safe spots to fish all over no combat to interrupt and then there is foraging where you basically have to either wait a select time to gather things safely or fight your entire way to collect...

Now if there was a completely seperate rare resource to be a requirement for making these potions I would agree,but not flakes.

Those lvl 24 Elixirs aren't Heroic :3

In Flake says 'Used to craft heroic stuffs'

And those elixirs aren't even Heroic @.@ .

I hope They add something Circle around you , Like as you use serenity you saw some circles :3 .

Adding it would be cool , More Attractive Hehe ..

Before the new potions were added/you were able to use more than 1 potion I knew people who farmed boondocks for flakes to make them since they were useful

They are actually taking care of that. I believe it is in the notes.

yeah they said there were looking to balance elixers which means they are going to be nerfed so it won't be as beneficial as it was previously 

 

i personally never used the potions that needed flakes due to the absolute waste if you do die maybe they need to become heroic elixers and survivable through death to make them more worth using ans spending a flake on

In the last development update HCS stated it will be 2 elixirs.  Since they didn't say otherwise, I assume still one food.

 

And I agree, if they lasted through death they'd be worth 1 or 2 flakes.
