What is Spring Water ?
Spring water is one of the easiest early on healing items one can get. it's cheap, relative fast to get, and is so nice to have when exploring Gransys. It heals 330 Hp. As you may think this is less then some other items you can get, but the cool thing about spring water is the fact that it heals your whole party, not just the person that you use it on. So basicly its 330x4. Another good thing about spring water is the fact it's cheap so perfect to get early on. The only thing you need is a empty flask.


How to get Spring water ?
To get spring water you first need to find a healing spring. A healing spring is a magical spring filled with water that can heal. So just standing in the spring will give a healing effect and some other buffs.

First of you need to get some empty flasks. These can be bought relatively cheap at Aestella's in Gran Soren. The shop is located near the fountain at the entrance. They are 20 G each.

The next step will be going to a healing spring.
There are a total of 3 Healing springs.

  • Northwest of Gran Soren / east of the catacombs
  • Northwest of The Blighted Manse rear entrance
  • Far west of the eradication site and north of Conqueror's Sanctuary in Verda Woodlands

We are going to focus on the one Northwest of Gran Soren.


The easiest way to get here is traveling alongside the road near Gran Soren, go over the bridge an keep on walking straight.



Once here, distibute you empty flask to your pawn to collect the water faster. Just stand in the spring and mash that action button.

And that's all there is to it. One of the best healing items in the game, for just 20 g a piece.
Tips and Tricks
  • Put a Portcrystal in the spring so you can get to them fast.
  • Buying empty flasks and selling full once can make a pretty nice profit (60G each)
  • Waith giving the flask to your pawns when you are walking to the spring so they don't fill them with water or oil.
  • Giving your pawns 5 or so will help in the long run. They will use them almost instantaneous when you or one of your other pawns needs some hp ASAP.
  • Pawns will only fill up 10 bottles, so after they fill 10, give them 10 empty once and put the filled flasks in your own inventory
  • Spring water + kept rotton X item = Kept X item

It's cheap and all but way too heavy for my taste. Tried filling up a few and discarded them asap.

I purchase 200 to 400 flasks and then give my pawns 60 empty flasks at a time and while they fill up 10, I fill as well, and faster. When they stop, I transfer their 10 to my inventory and then we continue to fill.

Once all flasks are filled, I put most in storage and only keep a 100 or so for emergencies. It's especially useful during battles to keep my pawns alive and escort service quests when you need to keep your escort healthy and from dying.

One note on poison, you're cured if you can make it to a spring. This is useful in BBI when you want to save your Mithridite or are low on it.

(my english is very bad) : J'ai trouvé cet endroit par hasard et ai vu mon équipe soignée. J'ai refait le trajet avec une provision de boutelles vides, mais après en avoir rempli trois, je me suis aperçu que le descriptif dans mon inventaire ne les différenciait pas d'une eau normale... : j'ai donc arrêté de les remplir. Bon j'y retourne... Merci.

@Panic Fire, i will add them

Just to add to this. Pawns will only fill up to 10 spring waters. Simply move those spring waters to your character and they will continue to fill up more.

Also you should probably add the second effect of spring water.

Spring water + kept rotton X item = Kept X item

So instead of trashing rotton items you can combine them and get some decent food back.

Dude thank you for this. 211 vials of spring water now! Unfortunately my pawns only filled up to 10 vials and then stopped, so I had to do the rest of it... that was boring. Lol.

@Somewhat Deadly I knew about this but I wasn't sure to add it because it's kind of a exploit, but then again, this healing item is kind of a exploit so i added it

You should also note that you can easily make a decent profit of them since they sell for 80g per flask. Which is a 60g difference.
