Once you start the Alchemical Ascension event in Genshin Impact, you’ll have to learn how to listen to Market News and create all the right potion types. To make your potion shop blossom, we’ll help you determine which potion types are best to sell each cycle.
Genshin Impact Alchemical Ascension: All Market News potion types
Currently, there are two phases and 22 cycles, and with each cycle, you must 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.
Phase 1
Cycles 2-4
With these two beginning cycles, you’ll only make Beginner Strength and Constitution potions. You start with lower-quality ingredients at first, but you’ll eventually be able to create better potions. You can upgrade your potion quality by one level every cycle, for now.

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.
