Upgrading Healing Potions in Diablo 4

First things first, your character is going to need to be Level 10 before you can start upgrading their Healing Potions. Once you reach this level, you’ll unlock a new Urgent Quest tasking you with visiting an Alchemist, such as Verdoka in Kyovashad. On your map, her location will be marked with a Mortar and Pestle symbol, which is near the southwest gate of Kyovashad. However, any Alchemist in the game can perform these upgrades for you.

Once you’ve spoken to the Alchemist, you’ll be able to start upgrading your Healing Potions, though as is par for the course in a grinder’s paradise like Diablo 4, the higher the level you are, the better. At first, you’ll only be able to upgrade your Healing Potions from Weak — which is what you start with — to Tiny, which is a slight step up, as long as you have the required materials.

To upgrade to Weak Healing Potions, you’ll need two Gallowvine, which are the small green plants that you’ll find peppered around the world of Diablo 4. However, as you level up and upgrade your Healing Potions even further, you’ll need additional materials. See the table below for further details:
