Deconcotions

So has anyone used these? Are they worth making and do they refill automatically like other potions?

Which ones are any good? From their descriptions I'm not sure how useful these actually are since they give you 100% toxic levels and that means you can't use any other potions.

 

[Caythwyn]

Yes. Yes. And Yes.

They don't give 100% toxicity, they give 80 points (double Thunderbolt).

If you are going Alchemy, decoction is a must. It's like a super potion.
When you have gotten some points in Alchemy 3-4 active alchemy skills you will be able to have two active and use swallow when needed.
I have been using different decoctions, but the one i use most is the griffin one.

here is a link for the different decoctions: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-05-19-the-witcher-3-guide-3696?page=2

You can use up to 3 decoctions + every/all potions at the same time. You need a toxicity of 271. This requires several things:

1) Acquired Tolerance 3/3
2) Heightened Tolerance 5/5
3) Metabolism Control 1/1

Optional:
4) Fast Metabolism 5/5

Once you unlock all of these skills, keep collecting alchemy diagrams until your toxicity hits 271. You will be able to have 3 decoctions active, which will leave you with 31 toxicity - enough for any standard potion to be used, one at a time. Because your toxicity will never exceed 270/271, you will never lose health from overdosing.
