Final Fantasy 16: How To Get All Consumable Upgrades | Potency & Capacity Guide

Boost your potion power with all the consumable upgrades in Final Fantasy 16. Potions are the only way to fully heal in combat — magical healing won’t fully heal you. That makes potions incredibly important when you’re taking on tough enemies. As you progress through the story, you’ll unlock side-quests that reward you with curiosities that give you permanent upgrades. There are four specific curiosities that give you upgrades related to your potions specifically — consumables in your very limited inventory.

Learn how to make the most out of your inventory. Here’s how to increase consumable potency and capacity with these four curiosities collectibles.

What Are Consumable Upgrades?

There are two types of Potion / Inventory Consumable Upgrade — one upgrades potency and one upgrades capacity. Potency upgrades make your consumables more effective when used. Capacity upgrades allow you to carry more consumables in your inventory.

Potions are the only way to fully heal in combat. Healing magic won’t fully heal thanks to the scratch damage system in the game. That makes these upgrades incredibly useful. They will only become available much later in the story, so look out for the following side-quests to get the upgrades you need.

Earning all four upgrades will unlock the ‘With Two Ds‘ trophy. See what quests you must complete to unlock all consumable upgrades in Final Fantasy 16 with these bullet points.
