All Alchemical Ascension ingredients for every effect & characteristic in Genshin Impact
Potion recipes are not very relevant in the Alchemical Ascension event as you need to work with a randomized grid with limited space. It's not always possible to concoct the exact Potions you need, so you must instead be mindful and use the correct ingredients with the required properties.
You can increase Potion levels by using better ingredients (they will level up naturally over time) and filling up as much of the grid space as possible when brewing. Don't forget to use all possible upgrades and Special Bottles to improve the Potion grade as well!

| Mushroom | Balanced | Endurance |
