Items are much more relevant in 1.3 due to the increased usefulness and importance of defensive strategies for both the player and the AI. The biggest changes are:

• Remedy no longer cures all statuses, only cures basic ones like Poison, Darkness, Silence, Confuse, Oil and Sleep.

• Auto-Potion still works with Potion, Hi-Potion, and X-Potion, however the healing values of Hi and X-Potions are reduced.

• Mega Potion was added to the game. Heals 150 HP, but is not triggered by Auto-Potion.

• Elixirs were replaced by Power Sources, an item which only Worker 8 can use with his new Item command. Power Sources restore all HP and MP.
