There are four consumable upgrades to be acquired in Final Fantasy 16. Two enhance consumable potency, and the remaining two increase consumable inventory capacity. Potions and High Potions will restore more HP, Tonics will last longer, and a greater quantity of every type can be carried. This FF XVI guide will show you how each of the upgrades are unlocked and what they do.
Morganbeard Extract
Necessary for increasing consumable potency.
“Adding but a drop of this concentrated extract to any curative or performance-enhancing potion will increase its potency…or so insists Nigel of the backyard.”
- Prerequisites: Unlocks during the course of main quest “After the Storm”.
- Side Quest: “The Root of the Problem”
- Begin at: The Hideaway in Central Storm Deadlands
- Quest Granted By: Nigel, Head Botanist
Potion Potency: You have obtained a phial of morganbeard extract, hereby increasing the potency of most consumables. Both potions and high potions now restore more HP, while strength, stoneskin, and lionheart tonics last longer.
Invigorated Morganbeard Extract
Necessary for further increasing consumable potency.
“If adding the extract of morganbeard petals to curative or performance-enhancing potions increases their potency, then imagine what adding the extract of morganbeard petals fortified with the vigor of a morbol gripped with madness might do.”
- Prerequisites: Unlocks after main quest “Like Father, Like Daughter”, and side quest “The Root of the Problem”.
- Side Quest: “Please Sir, Can I Have Some Morbol”
- Begin at: The Hideaway in Central Storm Deadlands
- Quest Granted By: Nigel, Head Botanist
Potion Potency Plus: You have obtained a phial of invigorated morganbread extract, further increasing the potency of most consumables. Both potions and high potions now restore even more HP, while strength, stoneskin, and lionheart tonics last even longer.

Expanded Potion Satchel
