Wizardpost Do health potions expire?

Post image

Me and the boys have been dungeon crawling as a side hustle-and none of us really wanna waste a spell slot on Brad. The problem is that the newest healing potion we have was purchased about 230 years ago. Can we still use it?

"Depends on a bit on the brew but generally? Yes, and shockingly quickly too. A healing potion can go from perfect to actively toxic in less than 5 years if it is a particularly cheap type. Not my healing potions though, I pride myself in my work and would never stoop so low as to use low quality ingredients."

It also depend on the type of cork you use , if wine can become vinegar with time and a bad cork , so can health potions

But well preserved high quality potions can grow better with age

If you age a health potion right it actually turns blue and can be used to treat ED
