Crafted potions and flasks (food items not included). Click/tap to enlarge.

Potions are consumable items that either recover the user's health or mana either instantaneously or over time, or grant temporary buffs or debuffs to the user. Potions are commonly found in natural Chests and Pots, can be dropped by enemies, purchased from NPCs, or crafted. Most potions can be crafted at a Placed Bottle or Alchemy Table, but flasks must be crafted at an Imbuing Station.

By pressing Quick Buff, Quick Heal, Quick Mana, the player can quickly consume respective potions (buff potions, health potions, and mana potions) from their inventory or open Void Bag, without actually opening their inventory. When quick-using buff potions, only potions whose buff is not active will be consumed. When quick-using health or mana potions, the potion that recovers the most health/mana will be consumed.

Potion buffs can be canceled at any time by right-clicking the buff icon (Desktop version), by selecting the buff with Left Shoulder Button + X/B then canceling the buff with A (Nintendo SwitchConsole version), or by double-tapping the buff icon (Mobile version). All potion buffs (including food buffs, but excluding flask buffs) are lost upon death.

In Journey Mode, most potions require 20 items to be researched. Recovery potions require 30 items.

Recovery potions

These are potions that restore health, mana, or even both at the same time. They are limited in use by the Potion Sickness and Mana Sickness debuffs, respectively. The Potion Sickness debuff duration can be reduced with a Charm of Myths or a Philosopher's Stone.
