How to upgrade your Healing Potions in Diablo 4
To upgrade your Healing Potions in Diablo 4, you must go to the Alchemist in a friendly settlement such as Kyovashad. However, Healing Potion upgrades are locked until you reach level 10.
After reaching level 10, head to Kyovashad and go to the Alchemist (represented by a pestle and mortar symbol on the Diablo 4 map). You can find their exact location with the images below.
Once there, interact with the Alchemist to bring up the following menu, on the left of which you can see a progression track of Health Potion upgrades.
To upgrade your Healing Potions, you must first level up your character until you hit the required level. Each Health Potion upgrade requires you to advance 10 levels, starting at level 10 and ending at level 90. There is no Health Potion upgrade upon reaching level 100.
The table below shows each of these Health Potion upgrades, alongside their required level, upgrade effect, Gold cost, and necessary materials. These upgrades can get pricy though, so you might want to check-out our Gold farming guide too.

How to carry more Healing Potions in Diablo 4
To carry more Healing Potions in Diablo 4, you must earn Renown in all five main regions.
Renown is a system that tracks your progress through the main five regions in Diablo 4, granting points for each time you complete a Side Dungeon, Side Quest, or Stronghold, or when you find an Altar of Lilith, a Waypoint, or enter a new, previously unexplored area.
You can bring up the Renown menu, pictured below, by navigating to your Map and pressing the "W" key or "Y"/Triangle on controller.
As you earn Renown, you get rewards! There are five rewards to claim in each region, handed over each time you reach a specific Renown milestone. You always get Bonus XP and some Gold, but the second reward in each region will also increase your Healing Potion capacity by one!
Since you start with a total of 4 Healing Potions in Diablo 4, that means you can increase your capacity to 9 Healing Potions by exploring and completing side content while you play.
To reach the second reward and get your extra Healing Potions, you must earn 500 Renown in each region. Since you get 30 for each Side Dungeon, 20 for each Side Quest, and 100 for each Stronghold, you should rack up 300 Renown fairly quickly. Of course, the 5 points you get for discovering a new area shouldn't be underestimated either - it adds up fast!
