DiabloLand - Potion(Healing Potions)

Potions remain a very important part of Diablo II, though the game won't be defined by consuming oceans of blue and red potions any longer. Health and mana potions are less common in Diablo II, and mana is less needed, since it regenerates on its own, but timely consumption of potions will still be a big part of the game. You can not buy mana potions at all, and can only buy health potions of very low quality (early on), so economizing your potion consumption and hoarding (for emergency usage) quality potions that are dropped by monsters will be required. For bosses like Andarial, and others that have fast-hit point draining attacks, it is usually helpful to have a few rejuvenation potions in one's belt. These don't spawn as often, and should be hoarded as well.

Added to the ranks of potions are new throwing potions. There are poisonous and explosive throwing potions, in various strengths of each. These can be purchased from NPCs or found from dead monsters, and are used as weapons, thrown at your target, where they burst open and deal poison damage, or else explosive damage.

There are other types of drinkable potions in Diablo II, including cure poison, stamina, rejuvenation, and possibly others that are as of yet undiscovered.

Healing Potions

Healing potions are essential for survival in Diablo II, since the characters do not regenerate hit points, nor do they all have effective healing skills. Healing potions can be purchased from NPCs, but only lower quality ones. Monsters drop better quality healing potions, depending on the level of the monster, and the luck of the draw. Purchasing these is not essential in Diablo II: a skillful player will find more than enough from the monsters, if they do not play too recklessly.

Healing potions in Diablo II do a set numerical amount of healing. I.E. 50 or 100 points at a time, rather than some vague percentage. Figures for these are listed in the tables below.

A new addition to healing or mana potions is the slow-fill rate. Rather than one drink instantly filling your health or mana up, drinkable potions in Diablo II now slowly fill. This adds some realism, while giving you less margin for error. Also the refill rate can recalculate on the fly, so you can be losing points to damage while you are filling up from the potion. The higher quality potions fill up faster than the lower quality ones, and you will often find yourself drinking several of them at a time, using the slow fill to keep your health near full, while the damage you are taking keeps you from filling up all the way.

Minor health potions are for sale in Act I, light in Act II, normal in Act III, and greater in Act IV. This changes in different difficulty levels, however.
All healing potions occupy a 1x1 space in the inventory, and do not stack.
