¹ The number the game's cooking data gives each ingredient for this effect: higher is stronger, and a pot adds them up. How the total turns into a level or a duration is not published, so we don't convert it.
² How many times the game's world data places the ingredient at a fixed spot, and the three areas with the most (a region is the one of the nearest shrine). Ingredients from animals, monsters, ore deposits, shops or random spawns are not counted, and those listed can also turn up elsewhere.
Bright Elixir: Cook one or more of the critters above with one or more monster parts.
