What kind of potions are in Terraria?

Alchemy plays a big role within Terraria, and a lot of these potions are going to be used in certain situations. Whether you need to recall to your base, or simply need a little boost in your health or mana, they all play some sort of role in your journey.

Terraria has separated the different types of potions into a few categories depending on the function they serve, and we’re going to break them down below for you.

Differences

• Recovery potions
  • Mainly health or mana potions that recover these attributes individually or both at once
• Food/drink potions
  • These are used to fill up your hunger bar
• Buff potions
  • Used to increase certain characteristics for a short period of time
• Flasks
  • Similar to Buff potions, these allow the player to gain increased melee attributes among other buffs

There’s also another category for potions that don’t directly belong in one of the above sections!
