Gameplay in Diablo 4

Upgrading your healing potions in Diablo 4 is crucial for surviving tough battles and boss fights. Not only that, some objectives in the Malignant seasonal journey require you to upgrade them as a part of a quest. So here’s how to improve your healing potions in Diablo 4 Season 1.

Diablo 4 introduced a new system for potions that limits the number of healing and mana potions you can carry at a time. However, you can also increase the charges and the effectiveness of your potions by upgrading them at the Alchemist.

Upgrading your healing potions is not only essential for your survivability as you level up but also for completing Seasonal Journey objectives in Season 1. One of these objectives requires you to upgrade your potion to Minor, which will increase its healing power.

If you’re playing in hardcore mode, where death is permanent, you’ll want to complete this objective as soon as possible. So here’s a detailed guide on how to upgrade healing potions in Diablo 4.
