Naming

For the first many tiers, potion and poison names stay pretty much the same from tier to tier, with different adjectives in front to show which tier it is from. For example, the common poisons and potions from tier 1 are be "lesser", the common from tier 7 are "exceptional", the rare from tier 7 are "grandmaster's". This should make it easier for you to search for the next tier up of your favorite concotion(s) when you outlevel your old one(s). (Things change a lot in the last couple few expansions, and that will need a separate article some day. If anyone wants to write up something to accurately summarize from ToT onwards, let me know!)

Stacking and Colors

One of the more frustrating things for many of us before potions and poisons were standardized, was to figure out which potion/poison stacks with what. Be frustrated no more - the color of the vial will show you if items will or will not stack. You can have only one from each color grouping active at a time for poisons, and only one from each color grouping active at a time for potions. So, if you have a green stat buff potion on you already, another green potion cannot be used at the same time, but you could also use a purple resist potion. For those who have issues with colors, and those who want a handy reference sheet, I've put together the following information:

*Note that the "violet" color in potions is an odd shade of light purple, and could easily be confused with the purple at a quick glance.
