Stat boosts and explosion potions

From UO:PvE Wiki

Strength and Dexterity boosts share magic buff slots; explosion damage combines enhancement, Alchemy and target-count splitting.

Development source reviewed on 29 October 2026. In-game availability is unverified.

Strength and Agility#

Strength potions increase Strength; Agility potions increase Dexterity. Both last 2 minutes. Ordinary potions provide a base +10 and Greater potions a base +20. Enhance Potions scales the bonus, not this duration. With effective enhancement 80, a Greater potion gives +36 before effective stat caps.

The matching positive magic stat buff is replaced only by a stronger bonus; drinking does not add a separate bonus on top of a Strength or Agility spell. Effective Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence are each capped at 150 for players.

Explosion damage#

An explosion affects eligible harmful targets within 2 tiles of the impact point. Scale both base damage endpoints by Enhance Potions, roll an inclusive integer, then add floor(Alchemy / 5) for a directly attributed explosion. If more than two eligible targets are collected, divide each target’s rolled damage by target count − 1 with integer truncation. The result is 100% Fire damage and passes through the normal damage pipeline.

Example: Greater Explosion with effective enhancement 80 and Alchemy 100 rolls 36–72, then adds 20, giving 56–92 before target splitting and Fire Resistance. With three collected targets, that becomes 28–46 for each target before resistance.

Fuse and throwing#

Explosion potions do not require a free hand. Activation is blocked while frozen, paralyzed or actively casting. The throw target has a range of 12 tiles. Flight time is 0.1 seconds per tile of geometric distance.

The current timer schedules its first count after 1 second, then four more counts at 1.25-second intervals: a nominal 6-second fuse when uninterrupted by flight handling. A potion whose fuse expires in flight detonates on landing. Other thrown potions can land and continue counting. Actual scheduling can depend on server timer execution.
