The X-Potion (エクスポーション, Ekusupōshon), also known as Cure3, is a recurring item in the Final Fantasy series. It usually restores one character's HP to full. Usually unable to purchase from shops, they have to be stolen, morphed or dropped from enemies, or found in chests. Like Elixirs, Megalixirs and other full recovery items, they have a resale value of only a gil, to discourage players from selling them. The exception to this is in Final Fantasy XII.
X-Potions appear in the Dawn of Souls and 20th Anniversary versions of the original Final Fantasy in the bonus dungeons.

X-Potions exist in Final Fantasy XI. They can be purchased from vendors or made by players with the appropriate skill and items in alchemy. High Quality versions are also available called X-Potion +1, X-Potion +2, and X-Potion +3. Each restore slightly more hitpoints than a standard X-potion. X-potions (+3) restore the most HP of any craftable potion type. Dusty Potions will restore more, but can only be obtained as temporary items, as will Megalixirs, which restore all HP and MP.
