EXP Pots

EXP Pots (ＥＸＰポット) are support items available in Elder Tale.

Overview
EXP Pots are powerful but relatively common potions in the game Elder Tale. This potion increases a player's attack and recovery powers, and allows them to receive twice as many experience points (経験点) in battle. A secondary effect is that it allows players to gain EXP from defeating monsters that are seven levels lower than them, instead of the usual five. The effects of the potion only last for two hours but are a tremendous help to new players.

It is not obtained through raids or quests, but rather is given freely to players below level 30 every day to help them level up faster. Because the level cap in Elder Tale has gradually been increased over the years, it is difficult for new players to catch up with experienced ones. EXP pots were introduced by the game managers to help new players reach "mid-level" (中堅レベル) more quickly and enjoy the game.

EXP pots are not user-specific and can be traded and sold.

Black Market
After the Homesteading the Noosphere expansion pack was released and the level cap increased to 100, some guilds began to coerce beginners into giving up their potions so that the guilds' experienced members could level up past 90 more quickly.

In particular, Hamelin recruited a large number of beginners under the guise of pretending to help them, and then forced them to give up their daily EXP pots. The guild then sold these items to other players for a large amount of money, leading to Shiroe's determination to destroy Hamelin. Among their most influential customers were the Black Sword Knights and Silver Sword, two major Battle Guilds in Akiba.
