When i first began playing, any video game at all, i tend to buy 99 of every healing item

Final Fantasy is a good example, 99 of every potion

As currency is experience in this game, i think i may have over killed this game a bit
99 of every grass except dark, 99 spices, and i resupply any time i lose any, OCD, i don't feel safe without the #99 protecting me
my only reason for me worrying about this is, currency is experience and i think i may have lost at least 10 potential lvls doing this

how much do the pros carry around with them?

I mostly carry:
20 crappy grass
60 normal grass (PVE)
40 New moon grass for PVP and bosses
5 Dark moon
40~60 spices

The reason i carry all these types of grasses is to save time, by refraining from farming as much as possible.

I have been the exact same way with every RPG I have ever played.

Due to my style of RPG playing, which is to always massively over-level/grind, I would always have waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much currency and so would max out all my healing and recovery items.

But in no game until DS have I even come CLOSE to needing 99 of all the items I buy.

In DS, I find myself popping half / late / full moon grasses and fresh spices like they are freakin' candy (or possibly something more addictive?).

Personally, with 30-50,000 souls you can get pretty damn near to a full restock of all your healing items, unless you are drastically low, and I find that to be an easy to acquire worthy investment if it keeps me alive through my travels and travails.

i am in no way a pro but I almost never purchase grass. I did one time and shortly after I ended up not being able to loot most of my kills. I suppose it didn't help that I was doing PVE with a faith build and had plenty of health regen.
Usually I just carry around whatever I pick up and keep dumping them into the bank to keep myself around 40-50 until I get the bank full at which point I will use a grass after a fight any time I take damage just to get rid of them.

It is better to learn to avoid damage than to have to carry 99 of all the healing items. Also after a while the lower grasses, I forget what they are called, become useless as they heal very little damage. It is quicker and easier to just use 1 grass to heal most if not all damage.

i at least would buy spices to 99, as a magic user (have never used a physical build) i always keep 99 grasses, in case of invasion, or for safety percautions, warding and other protective spells, + i used to use IC so i needed that spice, desperately
or im dragon killing

ValynsShadow I have been wondering for a while….is your name a Babylon 5 reference?

Re: Supplying

No, never seen the show. It is, in a round about way, a character from The Halfblood Chronicles.

Babylon 5 that takes me back. They used lightwave and the video toaster for that show.

New Moon Grass
Old Spice
Royal Lotus
Widow's Lotus
Sometimes Kunai

I try to keep these all at 99, but I don't restock after every battle. Generally if I drop below 30 of something I'll restock.

not after every battle but every PvP session
