+Even proper dosages of potions and tinctures result in a debuff called Toxicity which reduces your HP and Stam. More stacks of Toxicity result in higher debuffs for a longer period of time. Toxicity can last around an hour if you are taking a full dose of 5-10 potions or tinctures. Toxicity can be cured with [[Purifying Drink]] without harming your buffs.

 For example, a normal full dose of the Protection Tincture item results in 10% damage reduction. However, using the above formula, one can achieve an Ultimate Buff:

 Ultimate buffs only last 1 hour, after this, it will go back to the remaining maximum buff timer. In our example above, once the 16% damage reduction buff runs out after an hour, the player will still have 5 hours of the 10% damage reduction buff.
 It is possible to use 2 different consumables that use the same buff slot (such as using a full dose of Mineral brew + A full dose minus 1 of Protection tincture). However, usually people stack the same item twice because the overall effect is higher.
 For example: 7 Protection tinctures + 6 Protection tinctures = 16% damage reduction.

 Each alchemy item uses 1 of 3 specific buff slots, and each item's effect is minor until it is dosed correctly. All 3 buff slots may be used simultaneously. Using a second, different item that uses the same buff slot will overwrite the currently active buff. There is no "synergy" or relationship between buffs on different slots. They act independently.
