Genshin Impact Alchemical Ascension: All Market News potion types
Currently, there are 10 cycles you need to follow and figure out which potions are best based on the Market News. The better you are at following the Market News, the more money you’ll make, and the more rewards you’ll receive.
Partaking in this event can also earn you the Dialogues of the Desert Sages weapon, which is entirely free. If you’re having trouble figuring out what’s in demand, here are the best potions for each cycle in Alchemical Ascension.
Cycles 2-4
With these two beginning cycles, you’ll only be making Beginner Strength and Constitution potions. You start with lower-quality ingredients at first, but you’ll eventually be able to create better potions. For now, you can upgrade your potion quality by one level every cycle.
| Market News | Characteristics | Best Ingredients |
|---|---|---|
| Good Hunter is coming up with new dishes for adventurers who love battling. | Constitution Dexterity Strength |
Special Calla Lily, Special Horsetail, Special Jueyun Chili. |
| The owner of a Mondstadt flower shop is looking to have their fresh flowers grow more lushly and extend the time they are in bloom. | Steadying Endurance Constitution |
Special Calla Lily, Special Horsetail, Special Mushroom. |
Cycles 5-7
For these cycles, you’ll want to aim for Intermediate Dexterity and Wisdom potions. You can do this by making sure to increase the Tuning Rate above 100%. This is done by making sure to fill up the entire space with ingredients.
For example, although I added a ton of Special Qingxin into my Wisdom potion, filling in the gaps with Special Mushrooms increased my Tuning Rate. This led me to create an Intermediate potion.

| Draff of Springvale is recruiting hunters to hunt an exceedingly speedy Boar King. | Dexterity Strength Wisdom |
Special Horsetail, Special Dandelion, Special Jueyun Chili, Special Qingxin. |

For the last three cycles of this phase, you’ll get two out of these four Market News, it’s entirely randomized. Depending on the specific market news, you’ll want to create Intermediate Charisma, Strength, or Constitution potions. The Charisma potion will work for both the bard and makeup Market News.
| Market News | Characteristics | Best Ingredients |
