Not all players have the luxury of playing for two hours straight.
The current duration of the Wealth Acquisition Potion is two hours.

Some players would benefit if the potion had a 30 minute duration.

Maps would get more of a rotation among players.

    No one is forcing you to use all of the two hours. Just use your 30 minutes. No need to bring everyone down to your standards. And no, maps would not "get more of a rotation among players" because the people who use them properly would just stack them in their inventory before starting to grind/farm, so their "rotation" wouldn't be affected.

    I think you're misunderstanding how hard the top level people actually go.
    This is a high-level training potion, not for everyone
    But even though I don't make use of all 2 hrs, I still drink it for the extra exp boost because I got the mesos farmed up.

    Personally I do think the 2 hr duration is a bit excessive
    But high rankers go hard and might even drink a couple in one run

    You're not wrong. I agree a lot of higher level / serious players would just stack the potions, which is totally fine.
    Some people will continue to farm multiple hours.
    But I still believe it if the potion came in (4) 30 minute potions. It would be utilized more efficiently for everybody.
    The serious players can pop them all day long and farm until the sun comes up.
    Casual players can farm 30mins or maybe even 1hr.
    We could still have a few potions ready for the next small farm window.

    It's a waste of resources for casual players to only use it for half it's worth.

    In the end, serious players wouldn't hurt if the potion was in smaller increments.

    The current crafting batch is (3) Potions @120mins
    So it would be (12) Potions @ 30mins
    Might have to raise the potion cap x4 if they choose to quickly do something like this

    Would make better sense to have 4 potions at x3 efficiency@30mins or something, but nexon wants our time so the better change might be too unrealistic
