Having to unlock this skill will require you to invest a lot of points into the Alchemy Branch. The duration of most decoctions lasts for 30 minutes. Fully upgrading this skill will make them last for 45 minutes.
The effect of this skill is not worth it since meditating will remove all active potions and decoctions, and even without it, 30 minutes in real time is already a significant amount for the duration of a decoction.
The heavy cost in order to unlock this skill and the effect you get when you fully upgrade this skill is not worth it. Even without this skill, most of your decoctions already last for a long time so getting this skill becomes more of a disadvantage.
