Strategy
These are best saved for times when you need to cure a negative status effect. If you need pure HP restoration, use a potion of heal wounds. However, these can be used as a last resort in lieu of other escape options. Just don't be surprised if whatever monster you're facing deals more damage than you've recovered. If posisble, it's better to retreat and heal through natural regeneration. Poison also stacks up quickly in combat; a single potion of curing is enough to cure the poison, no matter how severe it is.
Do note that not all status effects are affected by potions of curing. If you're dealing with effects such as petrification, slowness, or an unwanted transformation, you'll want a potion of cancellation instead.
