Everyone should have to go through the pain of buying 99 HEAL potions in the NES version of FF1 at least once. Back in my day, we used to get NES controllers that have auto-fire buttons, go into an item shop, tape down the A button and come back in an hour. We also walked to the Inn uphill both ways in the winter through Ogre territory, and that's the way we liked it. |

| Items | Locations | Buy | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HEAL | 60 | Heal potions are incredibly important throughout the game. Keep 99 of them in stock at all times, especially when attempting to complete a dungeon. |
|||
| PURE | 75 | Pure potions are important in the beginning of the game. Your party will be poisoned frequently around ElfLand and Melmond. Keep alot of these handy, just in case; there's nothing worse than being stranded far from town, poisoned, with no way to cure yourself. Once your White or Red Mage learns PURE, however, the Pure potion loses it's importance. |
|||
| TENT | 75 | The Tent is an inexpensive and effective way of saving your game when you are far from town. The HP it restores will be helpful in the beginning of the game, but even towards the end of the game, the Tent is still a great way to save your game quickly. |
|||
| CABIN | 250 | The Cabin restores more HP than a Tent, but less than a House. If you can't afford a House, the Cabin is a nice alternative. |
|||
| SOFT | 800 | Soft Potions are essential when fighting monsters who use petrification attacks, like Coctrice and Medusa. If all four of your party memebers are petrified, the game is over, so Soft Potions are even more important than Pure Potions when you are far from town. The White Mage spell SOFT is a level 6 spell, so you won't be getting it for quite awhile; you'll be relying upon Softs for quite some time. |
|||
| HOUSE | 3000 | The House is like an Inn that can be used anywhere (at least, anywhere on the world map). It restores quite a bit of HP and it also restores MP, in addition to saving your game. BEWARE: it restores your MP AFTER it saves your game, so your party will NOT have restored MP in your save game unless you use a Tent right after you use a House (this may be a programming mistake, but that's life. Always use a Tent right after you use a House). Although the House is a very useful item, at 3000G apiece, you'll not be using them much until later in the game, when G is more abundant. |

Ah. Buying 99 Potions on the NES. Because going into the Volcano was stupid without 99 potions. |

I always get a pang of regret whenever I have to actually USE the potions, because I know that when I get out of the dungeon again I'll have to spend 20 minutes to restock my supply! |

I always hated the potion restock portion of the game, but now with an emulator that has turbo buttons and throttle control, it's just a couple of minutes. |

After buying heals, buying pure potions is always annoying for me, because you can't just button-mash A down. You have to press A, then move down one, then press A again... lots more effort than the beloved heals. |

ditch the old system and buy a yobo its a top loading almost always works game system that has turbo buttons and also uses video jacks not through your cable so you can just put something on the turbo button and watch tv for a few minutes |
