'''Vials''' (or '''phials''') are small vessels generally used to store liquids such as [[:category:elixirs|elixirs]], [[:category:salves|salves]] and [[venoms]]. Empty vials cost around the figure of 300 gp and last about 150 months. Compare this to [[Gemstone vials|artefact vials]], which cost much more, will not decay, and are sold at [[Gemstone vials of Moghedu]] or, in one particular case, [[Merentesh|Merentesh's]] [[Shop of Wonders]] in [[Delos]].  
'''Vials''' (or '''phials''') are small containers, usually for liquids, often with a stopper or some way in which they may be closed. They are mostly used to store [[:category:Pharmaceuticals|curatives]] (such as [[:category:elixirs|elixirs]] or [[:category:tonics|tonics]], and [[:category:salves|salves]] or [[:category:balms|balms]]), [[venoms]], and some [[ingredients]] used for [[cooking]].


Originally, normal vials held 60 sips when refilled by [[skill levels|Transcendent]] [[Concoctions|concoctionists]] ("trans-refillers") and 50 sips when by non-Transcendent concoctionists ("non-trans refillers") (the numbers were 110 and 100 for artefact vials, respectively). On the 7th of Miraman, 454 AF, the capacity of vials greatly increased. Non-artefact vials now hold up to 200 sips while artefact vials can hold 240 sips. The capacity of vials to hold milked venoms also increased from 50 to 150 applications for non-artefact vials and from 100 to 200 for artefact vials.
Empty vials generally cost 300gp, and last about 150 months. [[Gemstone vials|Artefact vials]], from [[Gemstone vials of Moghedu]], cost 40cr and do not decay. There are also obfuscated crystal vials available in [[Delos]], they cost 3mc from [[Merentesh|Merentesh's]] [[Shop of Wonders]].


A non-trans refiller can fill a non-artefact vial in 5 fills, while a trans-refiller can fill the same vial in 4 fills. For artefact vials, the number of fills falls to 3 for a non-trans refiller and 2 for a trans-refiller. A noteworthy fact is that contents can not be poured between artefact vials and non-artefact vials.

Several new commands were introduced in tandem to the abovementioned changes:

On the 14th of Phaestian, 579AF, Cardan announced the release of [[tuns]]. These 100-fill containers, which are purchased from [[Fronck]] and placed in stockrooms of [[shops]], allow adventurers to refill their vials without purchasing a new vial or requesting a refill directly from Seasone or another adventurer.

The syntax to purchase a refill from a tun, with the requisite gold in hand, is:
  REFILL <vial|fluid|empty> WITH <tun|fluid>
Vials refilled from a tun will yield a complete superfill (not just a refill) and will be priced the same whether the vial was empty in the first place or otherwise.
