New World Health Potions: Types, how to unlock and craft

New World is an online MMO where the survival genre tag shines brighter than the primary MMORPG tag. The world of Aeternum is full of dangers and unlike other MMOs that try to make you feel overpowered in early the hours of the game. New World sticks to a more realistic approach where players will die if they are not cautious. 

To survive in Aeternum, players need better gear — that is true — but more than that, they need consumable items like health potions, mana potions and other similar concoctions to keep them alive. 

Among all the concoctions, the health potion is much in demand as it can keep you alive in battle scenarios. 

In the wake of that, we have prepared a handy guide on health potions in New World. It talks about the different types of health potions available in the game whilst sharing details on how to unlock and craft them.

Types of health potion 

New World offers five different types of potions, namely:
