Brewing rules, potion effects, durations and complete recipes.
Select an effect and a duration to create a potion recipe. The essence tier is the higher of the effect tier and the duration's essence tier. The shipped client produces 1 potion per craft, overriding the core default of two. All 36 combinations are listed in the potion recipe catalog.
Effects and durations open through total Alchemy crafts: entry index i requires i × (i + 1) crafts with the default progression multiplier. Existing granted unlocks are retained. The recipe level is the higher effect/duration level and drives craft XP; the client availability check uses the use-based unlock flags rather than treating that number as a new hero-level purchase.
Only 1 potion effect can be active with the shipped defaults. Drinking an already-active effect replaces its remaining timer rather than adding duration. Activating a different effect at the limit removes the oldest effect. One bottle is consumed per drink. Compare potion effects in Potions.

Each card is one native recipe and shows its exact ingredient quantity, gold, output and XP. The effect and duration require their own cumulative Alchemy-use thresholds; both must be open. Recipe level is shown for progression and XP calculations. These are the installed 0.8.1 client defaults. Runtime balance settings can override costs, quantities, unlock levels and bonuses.
