Minor Healing Potion

Minor Healing Potion is the entry-tier emergency heal in Windrose, crafted from a single Alchemical Base at the Alchemy Table. It restores 35% of maximum health instantly and is the cheapest potion to mass-produce, which makes it the default combat heal before a player has regular access to Healing Herbs.

"Quickly mends small cuts and dulls the pain, giving you the strength to fight or flee."

Recipe

Station	Input	Output	Time
Alchemy Table	1 Alchemical Base	1 Minor Healing Potion	0 seconds

Alchemical Base is crafted at the same station from 1 Clay Bottle plus 1 Misty Orchid. Because a Minor Healing Potion only consumes the Alchemical Base and nothing else, it is the cheapest potion in the game to produce once Misty Orchids are on the player's gathering route.

When To Use

The 35% instant heal is enough to recover from one hit of most normal enemies in the early-game archipelago. It is not enough to survive a boss's telegraphed heavy attack; players scaling into mid-game should transition to the Healing Potion (55% heal) or the Great Healing Potion (80% heal) for serious encounters.

Keep for: early-game exploration, ship boarding cleanup, swamp trash pulls
Swap out when: you have a reliable Healing Herb route to make full-tier Healing Potions instead
Pair with: Bandages for calm recovery between fights, saving potions for emergencies

Doctor Galen and Free Potions

Doctor Galen Skelton hands out a free Minor Healing Potion roughly once per hour of play in Tortuga. For players who fight out of Tortuga between supply runs, stopping by his office before departure effectively adds a potion per run at no crafting cost.
