Store TP -> Icarus wing?

Does a samurai's Store TP Trait effect the amount gained from Icarus Wing?
I did my Maat fight a couple days ago (and won! 1/1). I used the wing right
after I entered.. so I had 0% TP. After using the wing, I checked, and had
120% TP... O_o
One would assume at first that the extra 20 mebbe came from the AF helm. But
I was wearing a Blink Band when I used the wing...
SO, the only other thing I can think of is Store TP.

Has anyone else seen this?
medication last in play time I guess

Yesterday I went to buy one of these on AH to help with ENM60, and there were 98 in stock. I bid the normal 23-25k and couldn't get one. I looked up the price history and within 5 days, they had gone up to 50k on last sell. O.O Even with 98 on them in stock, I was not able to get one for <50k. Ridiculous!!!!! I figured I would buy a stack since I use them a lot. I couldn't get a stack for <400k, when the last sell was 285k. What's the deal?

False. You cannot use any medicated stuff but food you can like reraise or anything else. But you cannot stack Strenght potion and Icarus. 1 medicated Item only at once.

no medicine for 2hrs?
# Feb 18 2005 at 5:01 PM Rating: Decent
Do you mean you just can't use another icarus wing for 2hrs? Can't be "you can't use medicines at all for 2hrs." What about all those people who beat Maat using this and still used hi-potions as they went along?

Medicine is different than potions... >< oddly...


Potions and hi-potions are...um... potions? Whatever they are, they dont count as medicine.

Medice includes (I believe) things like Icarus wing, Hyper potion, Stat drinks like the VIT potion, and the bead candies. Theres probably more.

x-potions and high potions work instantly, so maybe that's why you can use them still?

Well, hyper potions go off just as fast as hi. X is slower. But hyper heals 250. It's uber, so its a "medicine class" or whatever. It activates that little "buff marker thing" that tells you you cant use another such medicine for awhile. So u use it and no icarus wing, and vice versa.

Just for the record. It is like a food. There are different foods you can use that have *instant* effects rather then long term effects. E.g. any HP or MP regen food. It's wasteful to reuse them until the *instant effect wears off (the regen/refresh), but you can. While long term food makes you "Full". There are medicines that give you a medicine effect (all magic drops, stat-boost potions, icarus wings, hyper potions, hyper ethers and a few others). These are "long term" effects much like food where, after using them you are unable to use another or similiar item until the long term effect wears off. For potions its 5 mins, for drops its 1/2 hour, and personally I have not used icarus wings, but apparently 2 hours. This is done to balance out the effects. E.g. imagine if you could regain 125 mp every time you poped a hyper ether and could constantly use them. With that amount of MP blms could spam ancient magic w/o taking a knee... Basically it would make blms Pals, darks and rdms invincable... Just imagine if you had 10 hyper potions, and 10 hyper ethers and took on a lvl 85 hnm... All of a sudden a pal/blm becomes dang near invincible, smn/rdm same deal... At high lvls you can spam spells use your avatar, and abilities and never have to worry about dmg or mp... Ok, that's just over the top, and the price would kill you, but with the icarus wings, this would be the same thing with sams. I am sure everyone has seen a sam use mediate, third eye, Tachi: Empi, icarus wing, Tachi: Empi, 2Hour (can never remember the name), Tachi: Empi, Tachi: Empi, Tachi: Empi, and if they are lucky, Tachi: Empi... The dmg on that is obscene, through just one blm in there and it goes to the point of rediculous... 2 and you have gone to plaid.

Anyways, medicine is simple an effect like food that prevents you from using multiple items together such as stat boosts, TP boost, Mega HP boosts and mega mp boosts repeatedly.

Now the Super ethers and potions use Dragon blood, and take forever to use (and you are disabled from performing an action for an obscene period of time) basically making them impracticle to use (hence the introduction of the new potions). But they will give you the same MP or HP boost, and not give you the medicine effect. Unfortunately, again alchemy gets rooked in the fact that, though overly expensive, you can buy your way out of food status by getting an antacid (20-40k to make) or if you are in jeuno, simply trading a gyshel green to a specific taru will remove it. While medicine status is there until it finally wears.

Personally, I have found, as a tank, keeping one or 2 hyper potions on me has saved my butt many times. If the whm runs out of mp, or if my shadows are down at just the wrong time, and I could see a hyper ether working in a similar way for a whm and or paladin. However, I haven't seen too many ppl use them in exp parties (I am lucky enough to be able to make them myself).

So, sorry for the rant, hope that helps ppl.

Myth

There is a very interesting Greek myth that is the basis for both the Icarus Wing and the Daedalus Wing.

Daedalus was a legendary craftsman and inventor of ancient times. He was famed for his intelligence and ingenuity around the ancient world.

Daedalus had a son, Icarus. After telling his king's enemy the secret to escaping the winding labyrnith (Which he built) that held a powerful half-man half-bull Minotaur, the king banished Daedalus and Icarus to the labyrnith themselves. Daedalus, being the ingenous inventor he was, could not even escape the puzzling maze he made himself. He then fashioned two pairs of wings for his son and himself, to use to escape the labyrnith. This is where Daedalus Wing and Icarus Wing are derived from.

And interestingly enough...

As Icarus was escaping the labyrinth, he decided to see exactly how high he could fly with his fancy wings. He got too close to the sun and the wax holding his wings together melted, sending Icarus plummeting to his untimely death.

Of course, this info has no bearing on FFXI or crafting. I find it interesting that they put wax in the ingredients, nice attention to detail.

The effect is instantaneous; you get 100% TP, as a one shot.

The medicine effect lasts 2 hours, apparently, during which time you can't use any other form of medicine.

These happen to be able to be bought stacked at the AH. They're currently going anywhere from 65-80K per 12 stack on Gilgamesh. Please do your research before insulting others.
Delay?
# Jun 09 2004 at 1:45 PM Rating: Decent
Anyone know the delay between uses for this item? Or is it a one time use only thing? What does the comment about repeated use prohibited mean?

Once an Icarus Wing is used, it disappears from your inventory, just like when you use any other kind of medications. The Wing itself is a one-time-use only type of thing.

After you use this, you get a status icon that says you are unable to take any more medication at the moment. This lasts for quite a few minutes. Pro-ethers I know have this same effect. However I don't know the duration of this status effect.

So when the comment says "repeated use is prohibited", that's a cutsey in-game sort of way of saying you cannot use more meds for awhile because of "muscle strain".
