Potions are powerful Consumables that can have a variety of different effects on a Hero. Some effects are limited in duration while others can be permanent. The **Hero potions** listed below are applied to a specific Hero as a buff. A few potions instead work at the **account level** and are not tied to a Hero — see [**Account Potions**](#account-potions). {% hint style="info" %} Effects of the same Potion **do not stack**, consuming multiple Potions of the same Type **increases the duration**. Effects of different Potions **do stack**, so +5 AGI and +5 INT can be active **at the same time**. {% endhint %} ### Basic Potions

Name	Effect	Duration
Lesser Agility Potion	Increases AGI by 5	24 hours
Lesser Strength Potion	Increases STR by 5	24 hours
Lesser Dexterity Potion	Increases DEX by 5	24 hours
Lesser Intelligence Potion	Increases INT by 5	24 hours
Lesser Vitality Potion	Increases VIT by 5	24 hours
Prismatic Elixir	Increases a chosen Stat by 3. Can only be used once per Hero.	Permanent

### Advanced & Masterwork Potions To craft advanced and masterwork Potions, an [**Alchemy Lab Building**](/pawtato-land/gameplay/buildings.md) on an **Estate** or **Province** as well as the respective **Blueprint** is required. ### Potions learned from a Formula Some Potion recipes are not available at the [Alchemist](/pawtato-land/gameplay/buildings/crafting-stations.md) by default — you have to find or buy a **formula schematic** and learn it in the Alchemist's **Formulas** tab first. Learning a formula is permanent and only needs doing once. The first of these is the **Health Potion** (removes **2** [Injury](/pawtato-land/gameplay/heroes/injury.md) stacks), brewed from **1 Heartroot + 1 Glass Vial + 5 Water**. Its **Formula: Health Potion** schematic is sold at the [**Herbalist's Hut**](/pawtato-land/gameplay/adventure/herbalism.md) for Heartroot, gated behind **Admired** **Verdant Hand** [Reputation](/pawtato-land/gameplay/the-world/reputation.md), and is **soulbound** — learned, never traded. #### Antivenom Draught The **Antivenom Draught** is the answer to the [**Broodmother's Lair**](/pawtato-land/gameplay/adventure/dungeons.md#broodmothers-lair), where almost everything bites with poison. Drinking one **reduces the poison damage your Hero takes by 60% for 24 hours**.

Name	Effect	Duration
Antivenom Draught	Reduces Poison damage taken by 60%	24 hours

* It is brewed at the [**Alchemist**](/pawtato-land/gameplay/buildings/crafting-stations.md) from **1 Glass Vial + 3 Venom Glands + 1 Essence of Axoma + 1 Heartroot** — a **12-hour** craft. **Venom Glands** drop from the spiders in the Lair itself, so the cure comes out of the thing it protects you from. * Its recipe is not available by default: you must learn **Formula: Antivenom Draught** in the Alchemist's **Formulas** tab first. That formula is **soulbound** — learned, never traded. * Unlike the stat potions, the Draught grants a **combat effect** rather than a stat bonus. Consume it straight from your **Backpack** and it shows up as a buff icon on the Hero, ticking down over its 24 hours; drinking another one while it is live **extends the timer**. ## Account Potions {% hint style="info" %} Unlike the **Hero potions** above, the **Nightvision Potion** and **Warding Potion** are **not** applied to a Hero and grant **no** Hero stat buffs. They are **account-based** Consumables held in your **account inventory**. Their most common use is as an **entry requirement** for [**Dungeons**](/pawtato-land/gameplay/adventure/dungeons.md) (**1 potion consumed per entry**), but they can have other uses too — the **Nightvision Potion** can also be drunk for a world-map effect (see below). {% endhint %} When used for Dungeon entry, which potion is required depends on the Dungeon type: | Dungeon Type | Required Potion | Example Dungeons | | -------------- | ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | | Cave (default) | **Nightvision Potion** | Hallow Maw, Abandoned Mineworks, Broodmother's Lair | | Shrine | **Warding Potion** | Withered Shrine | Both potions are brewed at the [**Alchemist**](/pawtato-land/gameplay/buildings/crafting-stations.md) and can be won from the **Casino**. The **Nightvision Potion** is additionally sold by the **Merchant** in Hearthstead. {% hint style="warning" %} **Dungeon treasure chests no longer contain entry potions.** The Abandoned Mineworks and Withered Shrine chests used to open with a Nightvision or Warding Potion; that slot now pays **Lesser Health Potions** instead. Plan your entries around the Alchemist, the Merchant and the Casino — see [Dungeons](/pawtato-land/gameplay/adventure/dungeons.md#treasure-chest-loot) for what chests hold today. {% endhint %} ### Nightvision Potion The **Nightvision Potion** is the entry potion for **cave Dungeons**, and also the default entry potion for any Dungeon. **One** Nightvision Potion is consumed from your account inventory each time a Hero enters a cave Dungeon such as **Hallow Maw**, the **Abandoned Mineworks** or the **Broodmother's Lair**. Outside of Dungeons, a Nightvision Potion can also be drunk as an **account-wide boost** that turns the world map's night into daylight for **3 days**. ### Warding Potion The **Warding Potion** is the entry potion for **shrine Dungeons**. **One** Warding Potion is consumed from your account inventory each time a Hero enters a shrine Dungeon such as the **Withered Shrine**.
