The Gender Change Potion is a potion which allows the player to change their sprite from male to female and vice versa. Hurt sounds and equipment sprites change accordingly. The effect is permanent, lasting indefinitely unless another Gender Change Potion is used to change gender again.

Notes

Although some NPC dialogue lines do change depending on the player's gender, like the Stylist's dialogue, gender otherwise has no significant impact on game mechanics or gameplay, and as such the effects of this potion are purely cosmetic.

On use, a helix of relatively long-lasting blue and pink particles will surround the player.

Tips

Due to the variety of crafting ingredients required, it may be easier and more practical for an early-game player to simply create a new character with the other gender instead. The potion is primarily useful for later-game characters, for when it would be more efficient to gather all of the herbs than to make a different character which needs new Life Crystals, Mana Crystals, Life Fruits, and/or a Demon Heart. The potion is also useful to in-game roleplayers.

Gathering all of the ingredients can be made a trivial task with a herb farm.

Trivia

The Gender Change Potion is the only potion which requires all seven herbs to craft.

The colors on the potion jar are the colors of the Transgender pride flag, which is pink, white and blue. It also contains the colors traditionally associated with the male and female genders (blue and pink).
