One of the most important items players will ever have access to in aFinal Fantasygame is a Potion. Found mostly during the opening chapters of each title, these items can be used to restore a small amount of the protagonist’s health and get them back up on their feet. Though players usually end up acquiring better means of health restoration the further they progress, the Potion always serves to be a reliable backup.

At the beginning ofFinal Fantasy 16, Clive can hold a total offour Potions and three High Potions. Both items can be used to restore his health, but the more players progress, the less useful they become; Clive gains more health the more he levels up, making restorative items feel less effective as a result. Thankfully, there is a way toincrease the potencyofFinal Fantasy 16’srestorative items, but the game doesn’t make the means of doing so that obvious.

In order for players to increase the amount of health a restorative item can replenish, they need to acquireMorganbeard Extract; to increase the amount again, they must obtainInvigorated Morganbeard Extract.
Both of these unique items are acquired by completing two side quests that only become available later in the story, so players hoping to improve the potency of their items during the early hours of the game will need to keep playing until they reach theAfter the Stormmain quest, wherein the first side quest,The Root of the Problem, becomes available.
How To Get Morganbeard Extract
During the After the Storm main quest, Clive can find and speak toNigel, Head Botanistat theHideaway, who will then ask the protagonist for his help in finding three Morganbeard flowers somewhere in Rosaria. To find where these flowers grow, the player shouldfast-travel to Martha’s Rest, proceed west, then north, and follow the path until they can turn right. Here, thethree Morganbeard flowerscan be collected.
Once Clive acquires the Morganbeard Flowers, he can return to Nigel, Head Botanist, and interact with him to end the quest. As a reward, Nigel will give Clive theMorganbeard Extractand someBlack Blood.
