That these "are good candidates for dilution" is a dubious claim given the important role these play in both major alchemical chains. Does anyone with a lot of experience actually dilute these?Thefifthsetpin 04:28, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

I will save enough for alchemy, then dilute the rest. Usually, around 10 potions are more than enough. --Tjr 11:49, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
I typically save a couple for the Planes if I'm planning to go the timeout speed + extrinsic jumping route (which is more efficient in Pw than the extrinsic speed + spellcast jumping method to achieve the same powerful combination). Ais523 13:52, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
I concur, speed is a very useful potion, given the both alchemy chains and and a fine alternative for the speedboots for a wishless ascension kit. By the time one has enough speeds pots to waste it's bloody likely that there's more than enough other junk pots for dilution anyway. I diluted speeds back when I didn't bother with alchemy and always went for speedboots, but nowadays my vote goes out to dropping or changing that remark.
