Potions



Potions are a group of consumable items that either recover health and/or mana or grant temporary buffs. Potions are commonly found in natural chests and Pots and 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. Potion buffs can be canceled at any time by right-clicking the buff icon, by selecting the buff icon and canceling it in the equipment menu , by double-tapping the buff icon , or by canceling the buff from the buffs screen. All Potions require 20 to unlock duplication.
