Guide to Genshin Impact's Alchemy Event: Complete List of Potion Recipes and Market News

Genshin Impact’s 4.5 update has entered its initial phase, featuring a variety of new events. The focal point of this update is the Alchemical Ascension event, where players take on the roles of the Traveler and Paimon managing a Potion shop. Despite its seemingly simple premise, the potion event in Genshin Impact 4.5 poses a challenge for many players, prompting the need for a comprehensive guide. Here’s a detailed walkthrough of the Genshin Impact Alchemical Ascension event in version 4.5.

Starting the Potion Event in Genshin Impact 4.5: A Step-by-Step Guide

To begin the Alchemical Ascension event, players can easily access it by opening the Events Overview panel and selecting the Alchemical Ascension event. From there, they should proceed to the Favonius Headquarters and enter the Library to speak with Lisa. After explaining the situation, Lisa will instruct players to head to the Potion shop area. Players can teleport directly to the event location to start the event without any complications.

Creating Potions in the Alchemical Ascension Event: Step-by-Step Instructions

The Alchemical Ascension event is structured in cycles, with the current phase offering up to 32 cycles. Each day, more cycles will unlock until the event concludes.

When it comes to Potions, three main aspects are crucial: Ingredients, Efficacy, and Characteristics. Ingredients refer to the plants or herbs necessary for creating Potions. Efficacy defines the type of potion, including Strength, Dexterity, Wisdom, Balanced, Constitution, or Charisma.

Additionally, each potion possesses a characteristic, such as Endurance, Warmth, Stability, Fragrance, Relaxation, Perception, Strengthening, Focus, Healing, or Technique.

During each cycle, players can consult the Market News board to determine the Potion requirements or which Potions will sell well. Once they’ve identified the properties of the required potion in the Market News, they can begin creating potions.

Players must open the Cauldron and place various Ingredients inside to create a Potion with specific efficacy and characteristics. Each Ingredient has an efficacy type, and using the majority of one ingredient in the Cauldron will result in a potion with that efficacy.

Combine various ingredients to craft potions, then place them in the shop for sale. Conclude the cycle to view the profit made from the potions. Continuously make decisions based on which potions are selling well and which are not. Check the Market News in each cycle to determine which potion to create for maximum profit.

Genshin Impact Alchemy Event: Special Customers and Their Requests

Occasionally, players will encounter familiar characters in the game who may have special requests or offer specific tasks to the Traveler. Here is a comprehensive guide for handling Special Customers:

1. Beidou: Beidou, alongside Eula, will be the initial special customer, asking for a constitution potion with relaxing characteristics. Use Calla Lilies and Dandelions to make the potion, filling any extra space with mushrooms. Be mindful not to add too many mushrooms, as it will alter the potion’s characteristics.

2. Sucrose (1st Exam): The second special customer is Sucrose, who will administer the Traveler’s first Alchemy Exam. The exam entails creating an intermediate constitution potion. Use Calla Lilies and Sweet Flowers in abundance to craft the potion.

3. Diona: Diona is the third special customer, seeking a Wisdom efficacy potion with the Steadying characteristic. Use Qingxin and Calla Lilies to achieve both effects. Additionally, Windwheel Asters can be used to enhance the Wisdom effect.

4. Sucrose (2nd Exam): Returning for the second exam, Sucrose will require a Strength and Dexterity hybrid efficacy potion. Utilize Horsetails and Jueyen Chilis or Flaming Flowers, Dandelions, and Mist Flowers to pass the test.

5. Diluc: After the second examination, Diluc will make a request. He will ask for either a Constitution and Wisdom hybrid efficacy potion or a potion with Focus and Relaxing characteristics. Use Sweet Flowers, Qingxin, Violetgrass, Calla Lilies, Windwheel Asters, or Lumidouse Bells for the Efficacy potion. Alternatively, use Dandelions, Berries, Zaytun, or Peaches for the Characteristics potion.
