How creative can you get with your first free checklist?
Potions
A staple of Terraria, Potions are consumable items that can be found or crafted at an alchemy station or atop a table. The index below provides links to the wiki pages for all Potions currently available in Terraria, as well as how they can be made or found and their effect on the player character.
Potions can be found via chests and breakable urns scattered throughout the biomes; they can also be dropped by various enemy mobs. To craft Potions, you will either need an alchemy table or, barring that, simply placing an empty bottle on top of a table with no other items yields a location for the player character to mix Potion ingredients.
