Make it storable indifinitely. So it would be useful not only early-game.
And make it slightly cheaper. 300-350 gold would be better.
Just a clarification - is there enough space in goblin shop for this?
How much of the regeneration?
Also, nerf the length on stat gain. Maybe 15 seconds?

yeah, Merchant got 1 slot..Laboratory got 3. and Fits the goblin laboratory theme(Alchemist ).

Actually, it is untill late game. 30% stats..thats like +25-30 @ Lv25 since most of them got 100+ stats
the only pain in the ass part is going to refill the vial and go back to buy the recipe.
Oh and Recipe stacks good for those stats maniac

Regenerates 500 HP & 300 Mana over 5 seconds.

Edit:
Nerfed Stat Vial duration by 15 seconds.
Buffed rune storage duration to "untill used"


If someone doesnt understands the STR/AGI/INT vial.
well its like having a bottle and enchanting the water with +stats. once finished, you must repeat the process if you want to use the +stats again.

Empty Vial > Refill at fountain = Full Vial > Buy Str/Agi/Int Recipe = Str/Agi/Int Vial > use and get +stats > Repeat refill at fountain if you want the stats again.

Nice idea.... But I hope we just merge the hp regen part (means it has 750 gold cost and it will store STR/AGI/INT and gives lesser hp and mana regen)

Actually I don't really like it.

Consider that a hero can buy this at the start of the game for 700 gold, and then later on get the effects of a high tier item, for just that 700 gold? Also, far too similar to bottle :/

I'm gonna be T-Ding this.

Do remember that it takes up 1 inventory slot and only has 1 charge.

this is an element of a playstyle that's already present in the world, no point creating a mock copy of bottle.

@AmplifyDamage
Okay, changed. Vial now upgrades permanently. 1 Refillable charge to do +10% or 30% stat of choice.

so, need an extra regen and mana? get the blue pill.
wanna get steriods? get the red.
speed freak? try yellow.
....? just get the freaking teal

pretty chart ;D

as Amplify Damage says, nothing really special. but it does store rune until used.
and for 50 bucks you can get temporary scaleable stats

t-up concept, dont know about the numbers(Price).
