Healing Potions

Healing Potions are a type of potion that can replenish the hit points of your character, your Hireling (if you have one), or another player.

Diablo I

Diablo I Health Potions come in two variants.

Restores some of the character's hit points

Restores all of the character's hit points

Diablo II

In Diablo II Healing Potions have 5 levels with each one restoring more hit points than the previous. The healing effects of the potions are not instantaneous. It takes around 5 seconds for them to fully heal their specific amount of hit points. The amount they heal is spread evenly over time.

Healing Potions replenish different amounts of hit points depending on which class is using it (see table below). While in-game, you can hover the pointer over a potion in your inventory to see how many points it will heal your character.

Horadric Cube

Prior to Patch 1.10, Healing Potions, like gems, could be combined in threes to upgrade them to the next higher level potion.

Three Minor Healing Potions, along with three Minor Mana Potions and a chipped Gem, could be transmuted to a Rejuvenation Potion. The same recipe, except with a normal Gem, reults in a Full Rejuvenation Potion.

In Diablo III

Healing Potions are one of the potions confirmed in the WWI '08 Diablo III gameplay video. Their mechanics have changed slightly though, they now heal a percentage of the character's life instead of a fixed number of hit points. In the most recent preview [1] at Blizzcon 2009, healing potions were revealed to now be instantaneous, Similar to Diablo I.
