1. You may find the elixir inside treasure chests.
Explore the ruins: the chests are quite valuable over there. If your agility is 6+ (7+ ?) and you have improved your hearing through the lab, you can avoid all the monsters.
Learn Invigorate, because every time you try to open a chest, you spend 20 energy points.
2. The Uncivilized trait can also be removed by slaves with the Tamer specialization. Put the untamed slaves in the jail and appoint the Tamer as jailer.
3. You can cheat. Open your save with Notepad++, find:
>"itemlist":{
and add:
>"regressionpot":{"amount":10},
Save and reload: 10 fresh potions will be delivered in your mansion inventory (backup the save before editing it)
