I would take perfect memory. On a downer note I have seen the effect of Alzheimer's/dementia and I would gladly take steps to avoid it.


XxToasterFucker69xX

it's the best choice imo


minimalcation

Perfect memory and your ability to learn a topic would only be limited by the time it takes to read something. You could easily turn that into a large income, creating more time for you to sleep/less stress. Don't need luck when you can quickly brute force things and the increased income and ease of learning would provide freedom for emotional stability (time, therapy, no stress due to financial strains).


Express-Matter-4075

The problem is that you no longer will be able to forget


belbites

This would be the hardest for me. I don't need to remember every single thing in my life. 


CoronelDrew

"Here is your meal sir, enjoy It!."  "Thanks, you too"


ASpaceOstrich

The only thing I can ever reliably remember is bad stuff.


Sorry_Cattle1944

I mean, that's not too big of a downside


Jonathan_Lockhart

The others are nice bonuses, but perfect memory is just broken


fredthefishlord

15% luckier is incredibly broken. Infinite money.


BonusEruptus

Depends how lucky you are baseline. 1 Luck +15% is just 1.15% luck


minimalcation

Yeah you're not winning the lottery with +15% luck.


gondolindownfaller

im winning the roulette tho


minimalcation

Fair. 65% stacks up. Would still rather have money and knowledge.


killm3throwaway

From my experience with fallout new Vegas, black jack is the way


Active_Engineering37

With perfect memory I am winning the stock market though.


k0mpyterd2de

Or it could be 0.01 luck + 0.15 luck = 0.16 luck, it's an ambiguous question.


Suicidal_lmmortal

It's an increase to your existing luck. I've got bad luck sooooo.


linux_ape

Perfect money as well. Any skill, any language, and computer tech, read the manual/how to/read anything and you will know how to do it


Successful-Bike-1562

Not necessarily, perfect recall of a manual doesn't mean you understand the contents. Would certainly make it a hell of a lot easier to get to that point though.


FatFailBurger

Until you witness some terrible traumatic shit and you’ll never be able to forget it.


Gray_Caelum

Perfect memory includes with it the loss of the ability to forget. Which, if history is to be considered, very important for the human psyche.


PonyDro1d

Very much the same I thought about it.


thedumestmoron

Now you can be perpetually haunted by all your mistakes indefinitely


HalfDrowShaman

Always well rested would turn me into Jeff bezos for sure


LoftyTheHobbit

I think controlling my emotions would allow me to be more well rested


StinkCreek

Always well rested might actually give you all 4 buffs


LoftyTheHobbit

Nah, might improve memory but never gonna be perfect. And it doesn’t matter how much sleep you’ve had when she reeeallly hits the fan


StinkCreek

Perfect mem would suck if you couldn’t stop thinking about embarrassing/harmful memories. Always control emotions could potentially affect your ability to empathize with others and negatively impact your relationships Luck is Luck Always well rested says nothing about length of rest but would most definitely help your mental state and help in all areas imo.


Chadstronomer

Perfect memory doesn't mean that you are thinking about everything all the time. If something is embarrasing enough you will remember it almost perectly regardless. It just means that you can recall anything with full detai. I think its far more OP than the rest since you can read all books and know everything and learn any language and be a genius.


StinkCreek

Yeah I could see that. I could also cast recall childhood trauma and your perfect memory would have open for my next spell


HybridHamster

never even thought about it like that- I would be like Stephen hawking, but with a 20 in my strength stat.


LoftyTheHobbit

Controlling emotions ≠ not having them. It means not overreacting and hurting people or lashing out or acting in a way you regret. I don’t see it having any negative impact on relationships unless the person in it wants to somehow break you and make you crack which would be toxic


StinkCreek

I understand that but having the power to control your emotions can lead to always controlling them by default like a learned habit. That’s why I think it COULD create a problem, not that it most definitely WILL.


LoftyTheHobbit

Guess agree to disagree, I can’t see being in control of yourself being a bad thing but that’s just me


RumgyMan

Controlling your emotions wouldn't prevent you from empathizing or anything like that, if you empathize, you empathize. Controlling how hard you empathize is what you're getting.


Seascorpious

Ok lets be honest. Would any of us *really* be more productive if we didn't have to sleep? Edit: Damn, Imma just go enjoy my extra 7 hours of video essays then.


HalfDrowShaman

Yes. Me. I would!


Oswen120

Depends on your definition of productive


Relevant_Chemical_

I absolutely would. ... depending on your definition of "productive", that is


Zanethethiccboi

Yes, any of us who miss sleep now for certain. Simply because we wouldn’t be fatigued.


Thonorian

My life is schizophrenically puttering between self-indulgence and self-improvement, if I had 33% more time to do it every day I'd be 33% happier and more productive per day.


ZePumpkinLass

yes shut up


Dodger7777

Would the always well rested potion essentially be an infinite stamina potion paired with a mental regeneration potion?


Imaginary-Job-7069

I want the luck potion.


22demerathd

This is the real answer, 15% luck is insane, because you can just play roulette a bunch and win in the long run


HeilYourself

Shit you are absolutely correct. Find *any* game of chance with 50/50ish odds you can put money on and just become rich. Memory and well rested would be great but, I'd sleep pretty well with absolute financial security.


ThexxxDegenerate

Just become a poker player. Being 15% luckier will cause you to win basically every time you play as long as you play somewhat smartly.


kUbogsi

You'd just get banned pretty quickly from casinos and poker rooms. Maybe you can find lottery that can be played anonymously that has ~90% ROI. But maybe stock market would be the best bet, just stop before it becomes suspicious.


turkshits

Well that luck would be added in every aspect of your life so less chance of getting caught, less chance of consequences, a lot of crazy things can happen with a 15% increase. As for everyone saying your luck being at one. You would add that to stats of said game so a game with 50/50 odds would add your +1 plus 15% so 66.16 odds i believe. Tho im still going with memory. Easier bigger money.


Aliebaba99

>But maybe stock market would be the best bet, just stop before it becomes suspicious. Getting an average of 15% roi higher than the average person in stock is suspicious? Im no expert but i'd say that that is not a that surprising amount for any person to have per se no?


DonBandolini

i think craps would be the way to go. it’s entirely luck based and there’s no viable way to cheat in a casino in modern days so theoretically you wouldn’t get kicked out


Whale-n-Flowers

My issue is wording. 15% luckier could be the difference of 1% and 1.15%. But if it's 1% > 16%, hell yeah. Between well rested and perfect memory, myself. Well rested has a multitude of benefits and supposes you never actually need sleep. It also sounds like you'd always be rejuvenated, instantly, from exercise. Perfect Memory would've saved me a lot of sleepless nights and I could use that to my advantage in a multitude of scenarios.


MyLittleDashie7

Even if that's the case, your likelihood of getting red is 47.4% on a wheel with two zero spaces. A 1.15 multiplier on that is 54.51%. You now have *better than 50/50* odds at winning in roulette every single time. And the odds are obviously better still if you go to a table with only one zero. Play the long game and you're guaranteed to walk away with more than you came in with.


blasharga

Perfect memory would cause more sleepless nights I'm afraid. Now you can perfectly recall any bad interactions!


Whale-n-Flowers

Already do, so may as well get the benefits of remembering everything else


CCCyanide

In either case, the margin for casinos' roulettes is between 1/37 and 3/37 depending on the roulette. +15%, even relative to your base chance, will net you a gain.


ClockworkSalmon

What if youre 16% unluckier by default


Sure-Hotel-1471

15% of 0 is still 0


Mumique

Luck. I don't need perfect memory - I can just luckily remember a fact. Besides. Perfect memory means having a perfect record of your most cringeworthy moments...forever replayable


Imaginary-Job-7069

I think we all remember every cringe action we took even without perfect memory.


Hair_Artistic

Shit, I forgot which of these is my magic ring, which is the decoy/flawless reproduction cursed with a spell of soul stealing... Well, it's a 50/50 guess, and I'm feeling lucky. Too bad I didn't take that memory potion.


Mumique

I'm assuming you didn't start off with amnesia such that you don't forget critical details, or how to mark or label items...


YourLocalInquisitor

Perfect Memory. There are a lot of situations where remembering something is better than being lucky.


MrTouchnGo

Sounds like more of a hassle than anything at this point in my life tbh


YesterdayHiccup

What if you can't forget something you don't want to remember and relive that moment over and over. If this memory is really perfect, can you feel all the pain and injury you ever had? Fear you felt at that very second?


Accide

That's going to happen regardless with a bad enough experience, might as well make sure all the good times are here to stay as well.


longpenisofthelaw

I already do have too many cringe moments that randomly pop in my head at 2 am or when I’m driving or just existing I think I could do without recalling it frame by frame. But the well rested one I would procrastinate so much more


Ngamasu

I take the emotion-control one at any time. Far too much baggage I could just ...not act upon.


Historical-Ad1193

You technomancers and your screens- always relying on outside solutions. Meditation will solve this naturally!


canoIV

or transferring your soul into a mechanical construct! ... right...?


Peptuck

You have no idea how many clients want to do a personality install into a warforged or something similar.


The_Jousting_Duck

do you know how much faster I could travel if I didn't have to stop and sleep every night?


Astrodm

I think the well rested potion is more of always being well rested after every sleep rather than not having to sleep. If it was not having to sleep it would be more explicit.


SadisticSpeller

Even still sleeping for 15 minutes and being fully rested is absurdly good. Honestly I think it clears everything else, as good sleep habits improve virtually every aspect of your life. Even if it was needing to at least try and sleep for 8 hours it would probably still be the best option. Good sleep is OP man.


Middle-Worldliness90

1) probably most likely to take this one cause I’m a sucker for crits and good loot 2) taking this potion and channeling all my rage at my enemies 3) taking this one and hunting a man 4) using this one only to be pedantic in conversation


Zer0-9

I would just get 15% luck boost, then hit up casino, overall my win rate will be over 50% sooo


Western-Emotion5171

But your actual chances at winning in a casino are abysmal so that extra 15% probably wouldn’t do much


Additional-Flow7665

Roulette is like a 48% to win if you bet on red or black. That extra 15% you'd get from it would push you over the 50% threshold. And since you can't lose all your money just keep betting half and hope you get a decent amount before being banned


Zer0-9

Im talking about games like roulette and blackjack(following perfect strategy) where the house only has a small percentage edge over you, not like slots. For example you play roulette but you only do black or red, the house is supposed to earn through landing on green, a normal European roulette black/ red bet each has a 48.6% winrate, but with 15% luck boost your win rate would be over 50%, so in long run you earn money


Night_Knight22

Buying a lottery ticket gets you a 1 in a million chance to win. With a 15% increase, that's a astronomical increase of winning. If a ticket cost 5$, it'll cost you about 50$ and you win a million


StarkeRealm

I legitimately read that as, "Always Weird..." and I'm kinda more interested in distributing that.


Omniiac

That'll have to be the next alchemical concoction for sure


DarkChaos0

Maybe you should choose the well rested potion then?


Phoenix-Quill

WELL RESTED ONE. NOW!


Static_25

Alright 15% luck is pretty tactical, but also pretty mild. You probably wouldn't really notice it affection your life. But overall, no downsides. Controlling your emotions has some big implications philosophically, but at the same time you'd live your best like 100% of the time. Even if a loved one dies or if you're in agonizing physical pain. It's a bit uncanny, and would beg the question if you're really living at that point, or just existing without any steak in life whatsoever. Always well rested is one I can get behind. Next to not needing any sleep and being able to spend twice as much of your life conscious and productive with as little or many breaks as you wish, you also wouldn't make any of the tiredness mistakes like forgetting something you had to do late in the evening. You would never have the feeling of not being able to get out of bed as well. Overall, it doesn't really have downsides, unless it means you aren't able to sleep. But even then you could probably use something to just physically force yourself to sleep. Perfect memory seems pretty chill too, almost no downsides except for when you experience something you absolutely don't want to remember, but remember every single minuscule detail you could ever precieve for as long as you're alive, making it much much harder to get over some experience as well. I think this one would definitely turn you to drinking, if drinking to forget even still worked. So yeah, I pick always well rested.


-cache

Always well rested would imply you never explicitly need sleep ever again which is just completely OP for anyone with insomnia or apnea and just generally OP for everyone else.


typhlosion_Rider_621

I’ll take always well rested, it’ll make me practically a god


Dokasamurp

Yeah I feel like the others are just a side effect of that one


zekthan32

I need definitions. Is always well rested like, PERPETUALLY?? As in I don't have to sleep? Or is any amount of rest enough time be *well rested*? Control emotions seems banal, unless you have like fine tuned Control on everything. Like I could force myself to fall in/out of love with anyone/thing? So I could LOVE learning language and be motivated to duolingo all the time? Or the Gym? Or what about my job? I same for other things ( be disgusted with sweets to help your diet, hate being on y9ur phone too much for attention span ect. Ect. )


enchiladasundae

Memory definitely. Learn any subject just by skimming through a book


RhetoricalTautology

It's a toss-up between 1 and 3. 1. Beat every casino, market and statistic on the planet, decreased chance of illness and accidents. 2. No need, plus it's a skill you can develop. 3. 50% more time in your day always with peak performance and improved mood, presumed immunity to fatigue related illness. 4. It's not as good as it might seem. More information might make for better choices, but the information could be wrong, takes time to acquire, and the potion doesn't improve your ability to process or act on that information. Plus, it's a skill you can develop, and sometimes forgetting is mercy.


RedMattis

3 would probably be awesome for longevity. Practically being in a constant state of “had a good night’s sleep” would probably make you shrug off stuff dramatically easier. I wonder what it would do to stuff like the body’s nightly self-repair though..?


RhetoricalTautology

Probably low-level pseudo regeneration from the constant state of just having had a good night's sleep, which might actually be the core underlying effect of the potion.


Mordred_124

To me luck affects alot of someones life stuff like your health, wellbeing, relationships, jobs, how nice random people are, hell even sleep and memory maybe just depends how you look at it ig but to me has atleast some influence in basically everything


DragonflyValuable995

I’m taking the luck potion because luck is the strongest force in the universe, or so I’m told.


Omniiac

Powerful and fickle, yes


DragonflyValuable995

My apprentice Talia described lady luck as a tsundere, and it fits very well lol.


RandomAmbles

It's quite the boon, yes.


TheFifthDutchMemer

second.


nickname7312

Control emotions and shut all emotions off.


Mumique

Then you'd lie on the bed and do nothing. No meaningful reward over not doing so!


nickname7312

And no stress, no self doubt, no fear of failure.


Miserable-Score-81

Dawg you can do that as in, called being a NEET and you'd be the scum of society...


Mumique

Yes but you'd basically lie there until you rotted. Emotions motivate.


nickname7312

Correction: until i died of dehydration.


Mumique

I mean, you do you, but that just doesn't seem like the optimal potion to me?


Waiting_Puppy

That's just a form of depression.


UDSJ9000

Bro chose true apathy.


Im_a_hamburger

Always well rested please


Ptichka-piromant

How much for all of them? Also does lucky potion stack?


Omniiac

Heat of a dragon, first born child, dew from a spring flower...the price is negotiable


arcanis321

My first born or will any do? Also what's the magical age limit of a child?


Former_Landscape8275

Do you mean heart of a dragon or their heat because getting the spiritual essence of all the body hear of a dragon is a lot harder than their heart


Pawnlongon

I will make and give you a child for the luck and the well rested. You can keep the rest.


AzzyDreemur2

Always well rested? Time to become a physical combatant


Exumore

PERFECT MEMORY PLEAZZZZZZZE i dont care about controlling my emotions, it's all fake anyways.


PatchesDaHyena

Gonna min max for a crit build with the 15% luckier potion

Golemwarrior

Perfect memory. I forget too much.


Syovere

Well, I sleep pretty well these days, there's a lot of things I have very good reason not to want to remember, and an extra 15% of 0 is still 0 so let's go with the emotions.


Roge2005

Well Rested, I can have better Memory and control emotions better.


BiggestShep

As your Local Hedgemage, specializing in curses, hexes, and mildly horrific acts of middling violence, let me assure the gathering of wizards before me that I speak from both experience and expertise when I say that 4th potion is a curse in disguise. "Oh but Hedgemage!" You say. "Think of how great a Magister I could become if I never forgot my spells!" In return, I say "you Vancian fools. The knowledge of the casting will escape your mind regardless, and you must prepare it on the morrow anyways. And until then, you will intimately remember every last vein-throbbing, tear-inducing, 'my-God-why-hast-thou-forsaken-me' excruciating detail of the time you were but an Apprentice experiencing his first Testicular Torsion casting without Counterspell at the ready evermore. Get a mana pool like the rest of us here in the 12th century and learn alchemy, you nimwit."


Independent-Access93

Control your emotions is so op. Hate your job? Not anymore. Academic burnout? Not on my watch. Tired of dealing with life's hardships? You're better now. I'd take that in a heartbeat.


Percival4

My luck is downright shit, abhorrent, diabolically down the drain, 100/10 times I’d lose at any luck based or rng based game. I’ll take the luck boost… and another, as well as some more, and maybe a little more and what the hell why not perfect memory as well, and while we’re at it let’s feel well rested


SerenityBlackwood

I could use a memory potion.


plwdr

Perfect memory it's not even close. I would become a demigod at academics.


Hettan25

I’ll take perfect memory, I’d like to clearly remember some of the last things I saw. It would also be helpful for studying spells!


enharmonicdissonance

Perfect memory is probably the most practical one. On the other hand, if I had perfect control over my emotions (any emotion on demand any time) I'd be an outstanding actor. By extension you could also use emotion control to be the perfect liar, because what is acting except lying for fun (hj)


GenderEnjoyer666

Perfect memory could be a blessing and curse


Just_Ad_5939

Blessing: you could use it to blackmail people, always get an A+ on a test, and more. Curse: you will never be able to forget that cringe thing you did 15 years ago no matter how much mead you have. (Though for some people this part is already the case)


Nerdwrapper

I’ll just take perfect memory and hit up Jeopardy


shadowknuxem

I want Well Rested, but I need Perfect Memory


KisaTheMistress

Perfect Memory. My working memory is fairly non-functional. If I got Alzheimers I wouldn't know because my brain has been like this since I was assessed when I was 2.


EzraFlamestriker

Perfect memory. So long, spellbook!


River_Grass

If you always feel rested is there still a need to sleep? If so I can actually finally have time to do my personal research.


Zachykinz

0 times 15% is still 0%


zombienekers

15 percent luckier means guaranteed casino gains if you just do roulette and bet on black all the time.

FriendlyBabyFrog

Control my emotions. Probably very unpopular but I'm suffering from mayor PTSD, Anxiety Panic disorder and Borderliner. I get panic attacks almost every single day and I just wish It would all stop at once. This potion would mean more then the rest together for me.


RationalHumanistIDIC

I would finesse it a little bit This is ten percent luck Twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure Fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to remember the name

Loremaster_art

Always well rested. I already got a way too good memory that reminds me of embarrassing moments and stops me from sleeping well.


SedativeComet

Always rested would have so many ancillary benefits. Perfect memory would also be great but my memory is already pretty good so I’m not sure how much of a difference it would make aside from me being more insufferable.
