The longer characters stay alive in the game, the greater the chance they will become injured and require healing. In Wyld West, healing Hit Points (HP) can be done in one of two ways:
1. Tinctures & Elixirs (Fast Healing) Tinctures and Elixirs provide a quick method of healing, taking only a few seconds to restore HP.
- The exact effects and amount of HP restored depend on the specific Tincture or Elixir used.
- These consume resources to create, meaning they come at a cost.
- They are an excellent option for immediate recovery, especially in dangerous situations.
2. Surgery (Slow but Effective Healing)
Surgery is a longer, more involved method of healing but comes with additional benefits.
- A Medical Practitioner must perform Surgery on the patient.
- Surgery requires the Medical Practitioner to have a Medical Bag, which must be used for roleplay purposes (e.g., pulling out tools, checking notes, etc.).
- Surgery takes 30 minutes to complete but:
- Restores the patient to full HP.
- Removes any Physical Traumatic Wounds the patient has sustained.
- Removes any Rend or Mangle effects the patient has sustained.
Speeding Up Surgery
- Additional Medical Practitioners can assist in Surgery, reducing the time:
- Professionals reduce time by 10 minutes per assistant.
- Hobbyists reduce time by 5 minutes per assistant.
- Surgery cannot be reduced below 10 minutes.
- The Medicine sub-skill allows the Medical Practitioner to halve the required time, down to 5 minutes.
Multiple Patients
- A single Medical Practitioner may perform Surgery or assist another Medical Practitioner in perform Surgery on two different patients simultaneously if they have the Multitask subskill.
Choosing the Right Method
The key difference between the two healing methods is:
- Tinctures & Elixirs = Fast but costly (consumes resources).
- Surgery = Free but time-consuming.
Choosing the right method at the right moment could be vital to survival.
