were they this bad in 2005?

Yes, it's sneak and invis that are too good here. They worked more like oils and powders do.

I don't remember oil and powers being bad in 2005---spells yes, but the medicines were reliable, you just had to choose between paying for reliable or free for 30 seconds to 5 minutes of sneaking.

Oils and Powders here just need to give a static duration like sneak/invisible end up getting. S/I duration does scale with enhancing skill, so something that would be fair is maybe give oils/powders a static 3 min duration since you can use them at any level. That's a little less than half of max sneak/invisible. Or maybe 4 mins.

If it were up to me I'd give meds 8mins static duration just like the spell.

I remember the oils and powders being horrible in retail. I would put it on and immediately get message that it's wearing.

My $.02 here is that I remember both medicine and spells being terribly unreliable in '05. Like Nab said: the spells here are actually OP in contrast to era, because you'd cast S/I and start moving and immediately see the messages pop up.

Also, as an Alchemist, I personally have zero issues with the way the medicine currently works. Slime and Bee farmers: rejoice, for there is customers for your product!

I knew it! The alchemists are making products built to fail! Conspiracy!
