Potions: Crafting

Master potion crafting in Dragon Age: Inquisition! Learn the recipes and requirements for Healing, Regeneration, and Lyrium Potions to keep your party fighting fit.

Alright, let's talk about potions in Dragon Age: Inquisition. These are super important for keeping your party alive and your mages topped up, and thankfully, crafting them is pretty straightforward once you know what you're looking for. We'll break down the different types and what you need to make the best versions.

Healing Potions are your bread and butter. You start with basic ones, but you'll want to upgrade them. The Increase Healing I upgrade boosts the healing amount by 50 and needs 2 Elfroot and 1 Dawn Lotus. For a bigger boost, Increase Healing II gives you 67 extra health and requires 34 Embrium, 5 Prophet’s Laurel, and the 'Increase Healing I' upgrade itself.

Next up are Regeneration Potions. These give you a steady heal over time. For Increase Duration I, which adds 8 seconds to the potion's effect, you'll need 18 Elfroot and 1 Royal Elfroot. The Increase Duration II upgrade adds 10 seconds and requires 11 Rashvine, 11 Deep Mushroom, 2 Prophet’s Laurel, and the 'Increase Duration I' upgrade. If you want to boost the actual healing amount, Increase Healing I adds 3 health per second and needs 18 Elfroot and 1 Royal Elfroot. For more, Increase Healing II adds 4 health per second and requires 11 Rashvine, 11 Deep Mushroom, 2 Prophet’s Laurel, and the 'Increase Healing I' upgrade. Finally, for some real game-changers, Lifeward doubles the healing if you're below 25% health (needs 9 Embrium, 18 Arbor Blessing, 2 Amrita Vein, and 'Increase Duration II'), and Proximity Heal heals nearby allies too (needs 9 Embrium, 18 Arbor Blessing, 2 Amrita Vein, and 'Increase Healing II').

Don't forget about your mages! Lyrium Potions are key for mana. The basic Increase Maximum Mana upgrade adds 25 mana and needs 18 Elfroot and 1 Black Lotus. For a bonus, Increase Maximum Mana Bonus adds another 25 mana and requires 11 Embrium, 11 Deathroot, 2 Rashvine Nettle, and the 'Increase Maximum Mana' upgrade. If you want the potion to last longer, Increase Duration adds a hefty 20 seconds and needs 11 Embrium, 11 Deathroot, 2 Rashvine Nettle, and the 'Increase Maximum Mana' upgrade. Lastly, Increase Magic Bonus gives a flat 30 magic boost and requires 9 Embrium, 18 Arbor Blessing, 2 Amrita Vein, and either the 'Increase Maximum Mana Bonus' or 'Increase Duration' upgrade.

Keep an eye on your inventory for these crafting materials – Elfroot, Dawn Lotus, Embrium, Prophet’s Laurel, Royal Elfroot, Rashvine, Deep Mushroom, Arbor Blessing, Amrita Vein, Black Lotus, and Deathroot are all crucial. Happy crafting!
