How does the time counter work for Tibiadrome potions?

Question

I've drank one tibiadrome potion (bestiary betterment) and can't see any visual indicator that it is active, so I don't know how the timer works.

- Do I lose time offline? (I guess not)

- Does the time count if I'm in depot or just with battle mode active?

- Is there a difference about how the time is counted in different tibiadrome potions?

According to this answer the time counts when your offline too. https://www.tibiaqa.com/26345/do-tibiadrome-potion-effects-expire-if-you-arent-logged-in

Answer 1

I've used the potion to kill a rare monster and had to logout. One day later, I've came back and the potion is still in effect. Thanks for the anonymous that tried to answer, I saw that I can see the timer in the Cyclopedia > Character > Combat Status, under the "Concoctions" area.

- Do I lose time offline? No, at least not for the bestiary potion.

- Does the time count if I'm in depot or just with battle mode active? Yes, anywhere that you are online.

- Is there a difference about how the time is counted in different tibiadrome potions? I don't know.

https://www.tibiaqa.com/26345/do-tibiadrome-potion-effects-expire-if-you-arent-logged-in according to this answer the timer continues when ur offline so im not sure who is correct. your answer is also incomplete so I disagree with you being selected as best answer at this time

@shawtay I've removed the selection of best answer (to leave the community to upvote the best answer). However, I'm 100% sure that, at least for the bestiary potion, time will not continue to tick when you are offline, I've tested myself. My answer is from 2022 and the other from 2021. I dont know if something has changed or if there is a difference between the bestiary and the charm potion. If someone is reading this and have the money to test (those potions are quite expensive), I would love if you could say the potion tested and if the time continue to run offline.

I confirm that Bestiary potion does not count if you are logged out.

Awesome, would be nice to know if this applies to all potions

1.Do I lose time offline?

Yes , sadly you do.

2. Does the time count if I'm in depot or just with battle mode active?

They timer starts the second you use the potion. From that moment you got exactly 60 minutes. No matter what you do or where you are, the timer will run.

3.Is there a difference about how the time is counted in different tibiadrome potions?

No. The time is always 60 minutes. Only exception to this are Kooldown Aid and Stamina Extension which will be instant.

Little tip at the end. If you want to see the actual time left on your potion you can go to Cyclopedia - Character - Character Stats, there you can see all active potions and the timer. Sadly there is no way to show the timer in the game window directly. So if you want to know you always need to click through the Cyclopedia.
