Antidotes are important in the beginning of the game. Your party will be poisoned frequently around Elfheim and Melmond. Keep a lot of these handy, just in case; there's nothing worse than being stranded far from town, poisoned, with no way to cure yourself. Once you get Esuna, however, the Antidote loses its importance.

The Cottage is like an Inn that can be used anywhere (at least, anywhere on the world map). It restores quite a bit of HP and it also restores MP, in addition to saving your game. BEWARE: it restores your MP AFTER it saves your game, so your party will NOT have restored MP in your save game unless you use a Tent right after you use a Cottage (this may be a programming mistake, but that's life. Always use a Tent right after you use a Cottage). Although the Cottage is a very useful item, at 3000G apiece, you'll not be using them much until later in the game, when G is more abundant.

Gold Needles are essential when fighting monsters who use petrification attacks, like Cockatrice and Medusa. If all four of your party members are petrified, the game is over, so Gold Needles are even more important than Antidotes when you are far from town. The spell Stona is a level 6 spell, so you won't be getting it for quite awhile; you'll be relying upon Gold Needles for quite some time.

Potions are incredibly important throughout the game. Keep 99 of them in stock at all times, especially when attempting to complete a dungeon.

The Sleeping Bag is an inexpensive and effective way of saving your game when you are far from town. The HP it restores will be helpful in the beginning of the game, but even towards the end of the game, the Sleeping Bag is still a great way to save your game quickly.

The Tent restores more HP than a Sleeping Bag, but less than a Cottage. If you can't afford a Cottage, the Tent is a nice alternative.
