Raising Alchemy Level

Use Higher Material Quality

Genshin - Alchemical Ascension - High-Quality Potion

High-quality materials give the overall potion a higher efficacy, and these high-tier potions end up giving a lot of experience points that go towards potion and Alchemy Levels.

Players are thus encouraged to create as many high-quality potions as they can during each event phase to maximize their Alchemy Level gains.

Concocting Potions Event Guide

Increase Your Alchemical Efficiency

Genshin - Alchemical Ascension - Alchemical Efficiency

Once the player gets access to Operation Bonuses during the second phase of the event, they will be able to purchase upgrades to further optimize their potion shop.

One such upgrade is in the Alchemical Efficiency category, namely Listen to Reasoned Inquiry, which increases the Alchemy Level EXP you get per brewed potion, so make sure to snag this when you can!

Focus on the Market News

Genshin - Alchemical Ascension - Market News

Each cycle, new types of potions will come in demand, encouraging players to try out different ingredient combinations to meet the market demands.

Over the course of creating potions in the Concocting Potions mini-game, players will steadily increase their Alchemy Level, rewarding the player in more ways than one for experimenting with different potions.
