Pillars of Eternity Wiki

In response to patch v1.3.7.0.1377 to Pillars of Eternity (June 6, 2024), the random loot tables shown on the wiki have been updated. These changes may take time to propegate.

As a result, random loot data is no longer accurate to old versions of the game, including all console ports. We'll be working to provide a mechanism to switch between pre-patch and post-patch loot for console players.

Drugs are a type of consumable in Pillars of Eternity. They can be used to get a bonus for a long time, but most of them also give some penalty to the user. Drugs can be found or bought.

When the duration of drugs fades out, they inflict a negative effect to the user (“drug crash”), which can only be removed by proper rest or by taking another dose of the same drug.

Drug mechanics[ | ]

Each drug effect has two phases:

  1. The first phase is a “proper” drug effect.
    • In this phase, each drug gives bonuses to its user, but also inflicts some negative effects.
    • The duration of this phase is not affected by Intellect, but can be increased by resting with the Consumable duration Camping Bonus unlocked by a sufficient level of the Survival skill.
  2. The second phase is a “drug crash” effect.
    • This starts the moment when the duration of the first phase ends. The drug bonuses from the first phase disappear and the negative effects get worse.
    • The duration of this phase is unlimited, meaning that in order for the drug user to get rid of the “drug crash”, either the whole party must get a proper rest, or the drug user needs to get another dose of the same drug (taking a different kind of drug won't help).
