http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/user.php?board=1947548 I assumed it worked like the Fire Keeper Soul/Sublime Bone Dust from DS1 and 2?

User Info: Master_ShakeXXX Master_ShakeXXX 1 year ago #12 I haven't noticed any benefit from it. What a waste, that was like 9 ****ing skill points!

User Info: jfmorris jfmorris 1 year ago #13 Yeah, I just let myself get hit to confirm--the healing effects of a gourd seem to be exactly the same as they are without the skills--only restoring about half of your starting health bar.



This utterly f***ing sucks.

I had 4 healing gourds total and 1 prayer necklace upgrade, if it matters.



In conclusion, the medicine skills do work but the bonus is pretty small. Assuming it's a percentage boost it should be useful at end game when you have a bunch of healing gourds, but they're definitely not upgrades you need to prioritize early. And with that...pow! I'm gone! I did a test by jumping off a cliff twice from full health then using a healing gourd. The first time I only had shinobi medicine rank 1, the second time I skilled emma's medicine: potency and the third included emma's medicine: aroma as well. The resulting health bars look like this:https://i.imgur.com/7uWovTO.pngI had 4 healing gourds total and 1 prayer necklace upgrade, if it matters.In conclusion, the medicine skills do work but the bonus is pretty small.

Thanks for the side by side comparison. Glad to know it works at least a little. I'm ninja

Thanks. I guess every little bit helps, but geez. Thanks. I guess every little bit helps, but geez.
