While in The Tower of Zot, I used a Phoenix Down on my party's healer. I noticed that my Grade 3 Gemdraught of Dexterity, which I hadn't used and should've been off cooldown, now had a 6 minute cooldown, which is the same as a Phoenix Down. That potion normally has a 4.5 minute cooldown. I noticed that my fireworks (Heavenscrackers, Realm Reborn Red) also had this 6 minute cooldown instead of 6 seconds. I thought this was odd and decided to try it the other way around once I got back to Tuliyollal. When I used my potion, my Phoenix Down, which was off cooldown, then had a 4.5 minute cooldown, as well as my fireworks.
