Incense is a unique consumable type in Diablo 4. There are a variety of consumables in the game, which restore your health or provide various temporary buffs to your characters. Unlike elixirs and healing potions, incense cannot be obtained from items dropped after defeating mobs or opening chests. It can only be crafted by Alchemists. The following will introduce you to how to unlock and craft incense.

What Is Incense

Incense is a very effective consumable that Alchemists can craft. It can provide temporary buffs to players as well as their party members regardless of the classes and builds, and the effect will last for 20 minutes. Therefore, we highly recommend players use it when grouping up and exploring Nightmare Dungeons, World Bosses, and other endgame activities.

How To Craft Incense

There are currently 14 different incenses for players to choose from in Diablo 4, but players need to be at least level 45 and above to access the tab and craft incense at Alchemists. Some of the best can't even be unlocked until level 100. You can choose any Alchemist shop in the Sanctuary, and when you first go there, you can only craft one type of incense, Song of the Mountain. This is a type of incense that requires players to provide 5 Angelbreath, 10 Biteberry, 5 Crushed Beast Bones, 15 Gallowvine, and 5,000 Gold to craft. You can also Buy D4 Gold to upgrade it there.

As you level up, you can unlock more incense. Therefore, you need to prepare various plants along with a healthy amount of gold in advance. But some rare plants like Angelbreath or Fiend Rose can be hard to find. We recommend that players explore the Sanctuary and gather the required items.

Incense can provide buffs to all players around in a short time, and is one of the indispensable D4 Items during co-op. In some chaotic combat at the Sanctuary, it could be the difference between life and death.
