Potions are listed above by increasing cost, then alphabetically. The COST field denotes the base price of each item. WGT specifies the weight (100 zorkmids weighs 1).
Potions comprise 16% of all randomly-generated items in the main dungeon, 18% in containers, 22% on the Rogue level, and 1% in hell. PROB is the relative probability of each subtype. They appear 1/8 cursed, 3/4 uncursed, and 1/8 blessed.
Some types of potions have the same APPEARANCE when unidentified. The appearance of the remaining potions are are randomized from the following descriptions:
| ruby | pink | orange | yellow | emerald |
| dark green | cyan | sky blue | brilliant blue | magenta |
| purple-red | puce | milky | swirly | bubbly |
| smoky | cloudy | effervescent | black | golden |
| brown | fizzy | dark | white | murky |
(Adapted from the WCST spoiler "spoil803".)
What happens when you (q)uaff a potion usually depends on whether the potion was blessed, uncursed, or cursed. If a monster can quaff a potion, the effects upon the monster are documented below; all other potions won't be quaffed by monsters.
When a potion hits a monster, the monster will be awoken and has an 80% chance of losing one hit point (but not killed), and then suffers the effects described below. If you didn't see the monster get hit, you will be told, "Crash!". Monsters are not angered by potions of (extra|full) healing, (gain|restore) ability, speed, invisibility, water thrown at gremlins, or unholy water thrown at werecreatures, demons or undead; other potions will cause peaceful monsters to become hostile if you were the thrower.
If a potion hits you, you lose 1 to 2 hit points and get the effects of breathing vapors described below unless the potion has a specific effect for hitting you. You may also breathe vapors if you are near a potion when it breaks (e.g., it hit a monster, was hit by a wand of striking, or was kicked).
