Talk:Oracle's Elixir/@comment-123.155.82.60-20130224071755/@comment-83.84.14.138-20130227133526

They're not the same.

Oracle's elixir can also be used to clear wards, while oracle's extract is only useful to see invisible champions. Therefore the elixir costs 400g instead of 250g, to make sure that killing wards doesn't become too cheap, while still allowing people to see invisible champions for only 250g in maps without wards.

If all maps were to use the same item, clearing wards would be too cheap, or the item would be too expensive for it's purpose on maps without wards.
