A tonic is a type of consumable that activates a skill to change the appearance of a player's character.
Regular versus everlasting tonics[edit]
- Regular tonics can only be used once; each use adds 2 points towards the Party Animal title track, except for Minutely Mad King, Mysterious, Spooky, and Zaishen Tonics (which add 3, 5, 25, and 3 points respectively).
- Regular tonics cause 5 seconds of Tonic Tipsiness, while everlasting tonics cause 30 seconds of it. This effect prevents additional tonics being used while it is active.
- Everlasting tonics can be used an unlimited number of times but do not contribute to the title track. Each of the two-point tonics has an everlasting equivalent.
Non-monthly tonics[edit]
Monthly tonics[edit]
These tonics are randomly obtained from the Zaishen Chest during their respective month.

6th year tonics[edit]
Birthday Presents that are received by characters when reaching their sixth birthday (72 months) and Sixth Birthday Surprise Boxes (acquired in exchange for a Birthday Present Voucher) contain one of these tonics.
Notes[edit]
- The only tonics that can be used in explorable areas are the Birthday, Henchman, Minutely Mad King, Transmogrifier, Yuletide, and Zaishen varieties.
- If your character zones or changes districts, the tonic's effect ends.
- For many of the forms, emote animations are either different or do not activate. See each form page for specifics.
- Almost all tonics will perform an emote (typically of being knocked down) when using the "/Stand" emote while sitting.
- If your character is moving when you activate a tonic, the transformation won't take place until your character stops or changes direction.
- Unlike the other tonics, 6th year birthday present tonic form effects don't wear off if the character dies.
- Some cinematics will cause the 6th year birthday everlasting tonic effects to wear off.
- There are currently 65 different everlasting tonics in the game (20 white, 10 purple, 7 gold, and 28 green).
- Tonics cannot be used in PvP outposts (with the exception of guild halls) nor arenas.

Trivia[edit]
- Prior to the October 18, 2012 update, a character could use a maximum of two tonics in each instance.
