Magical Mystery Juice

Magical mystery juice costs 100 meat or 95 meat if you are wearing Travoltan trousers. The amount of MP restored equals (1.5 * level) + (4 to 6). Note: If you are farming and using Magical mystery juice you should use this instead of the A Comfy Sofa when you have 333.4 or higher MPA (Meat Per Adventure) however there may be better alternatives at some level.

Curative Nostrum (pre-quest)	Any Amount	Varies	10
Doc Galaktik's Homeopathic Elixir	18-20	240 Meat	12.632

For MP (last columns apply if you can cast spells with reduced MP):

Source	HP Gain	Cost	MP/HP	MP/HP (-1)	MP/HP (-2)	MP/HP (-3)	Notes
Cannelloni Cocoon	All HP	20 MP	--	--	--	--	All HP
Tongue of the Walrus	30-40	10 MP	0.286	0.257	0.229	0.2	Cures Beaten Up, various effects
Disco Power Nap	40	12 MP	0.3	0.275	0.25	0.225	Cures various effects
Lasagna Bandages (non-combat)	10-30	6 MP	0.3	.25	.2	.15
Saucy Salve	10-15	4 MP	0.32	0.24	0.16	0.08	Combat-only
Lasagna Bandages (combat)	10-20	6 MP	0.4	.333	.267	.2
Disco Nap	20	8 MP	0.4	.35	.3	.25	Cures various effects
Tongue of the Otter	10-20	7 MP	0.467	0.4	0.333	0.267	Cures Beaten Up

In order to calculate Meat per HP, multiply Meat per MP by MP per HP.

Also worth noting:

• Ailment Ointments are more cost-efficient than Disco Nap and Tongue of the Otter if you use soda water and have no modifiers; and they're still more efficient than Tongue of the Otter if you use soda water and only have a -1 MP modifier.
• Cannelloni Cocoon is the most efficient skill if you need to restore a sufficiently large number of HP. With no modifiers, that number is 70 HP; with a -1 modifier, that number is 78 HP; with a -2 modifier, that number is 92 HP; and with a -3 modifier, that number is 116 HP.

The last resort is Doc Galactick Tonic, available to everyone at any time. Note that before the herbs quest, it is cheaper to heal yourself using any of the skills listed below instead of using Doc Galaktik's other medicine (except Cannelloni Cocoon with less than 34 HP).
