Editing Meditation

In the [[Witcher saga|novels]], while it is mentioned that [[Geralt]] meditates, this is not a huge part of the narrative.

'''Meditation''' is now an integral part of alchemy. Geralt can no longer brew as many [[The Witcher 3 bombs|bombs]], [[The Witcher 3 oils|oils]] and [[The Witcher 3 potions|potions]] as he wants to. They are brewed automatically, up to a maximum number (or charges) which varies with each item, and this can only be done while meditating.

To enter meditation mode, use [[File:Tw2_control_n.png|24px|the N key]] .

== {{tw2}} ==
To enter meditation mode, use [[File:Tw2 control ctrl.png|the Ctrl key]] to open the Quick Menu, then press [[File:Tw2 control leftmouse.png|the Left mouse button]] on the center symbol.

Unlike the original game, Geralt can meditate anywhere as long as there are no enemies about. However, he must enter meditation mode to drink [[The Witcher 2 potions|potions]].

In [[The Witcher (computer game)|''The Witcher'']], Geralt does not need to sleep when tired, but he ''must meditate'' in order to allocate accrued [[Character Development|talents]] as well as for any creation of [[bombs]], [[oils]] or [[potions]]. In order to meditate, he must either light a [[campfire]], a fireplace, or choose to [[The Witcher character interaction#Meditation and storage|meditate]] via conversation (typically with an [[innkeeper]], but some other [[NPC]]s also offer this convenience).

The slider to the right of the hourglass is used to select how long (in number of hours) Geralt should meditate. Alternatively, one of the four "time of day" icons can be selected to meditate "until dawn", "until midday", "until dusk" or "until midnight".

Clicking on the hourglass in the centre initiates the period of meditation.

Meditation will typically restore your health and endurance, as well as cleanse you of toxicity and intoxication. If you meditate outdoors, one hour is enough to restore you to full vigor; meditating indoors will heal you much slower.

'''Note''': If Geralt is brewing potions (or making other alchemical items), or allocating talents, the hour necessary for brewing potions or allocating the talents is automatically added to the number of hours remaining until the desired time of day. So be careful when trying to make a specific appointment.
