In Genshin Impact 4.5, upgrading the Alchemy Cauldron is one of the tasks you must complete in the Alchemical Ascension event. It is a major aspect of the event as it enhances the size and performance of the cauldron. With more space, you can easily add more ingredients to reach the maximum tuning rate and concoct higher-grade alchemy potions. Fortunately, you only need to increase your alchemy level to purchase upgrades for the Alchemy Cauldron.

Just interact with Freda to check out the shop supplies in the event shop. The funds required for the cauldron upgrades will increase with each purchase. Furthermore, completing the event challenges will reward players with Primogems and many other in-game resources.

In Alchemical Ascension, you spend much time concocting different potions in your Alchemy Cauldron. As mentioned previously, you must upgrade the cauldron to improve its size, performance, and efficacy. You can interact with Freda, who operates the event shop, to purchase the Alchemy Cauldron upgrades. Here is a quick overview:

  • Improved Alchemy Cauldron (I) - 6000 Funds
  • Improved Alchemy Cauldron (II) - 8000 Funds
  • Improved Alchemy Cauldron (III) - 20000 Funds
  • Improved Alchemy Cauldron (IV) - 40000 Funds

You can find these upgrades under the shop supplies segment. As shown above, you need a lot of funds to purchase them. In addition, you will also have to increase your Alchemy Level to become eligible to purchase these upgrades in Genshin Impact.

Two methods exist to increase your Alchemy Level in Genshin Impact in the Alchemical Ascension event. Here is a quick overview:

  • Concoct potions with high-quality ingredients
  • Increase alchemical efficiency

High-quality materials increase the overall efficacy of the potion, and these high-tier potions result in tons of experience points that are applied to the potion and Alchemy Levels. Thus, concocting as many high-quality potions as possible is recommended.

When the player has access to Operation Bonuses during the second phase of the event, they can buy improvements to improve their potion shop. The Alchemical Efficiency section has an upgrade called Listen to Reasoned Inquiry, which boosts the Alchemy Level EXP you receive for every brewed potion.
