The Alchemist allows you to create Potions, Elixirs, Incenses and Crafting Materials for your character. Whether it's empowering your Healing Potion to help top off your Life pool, or crafting a powerful Elixir to increase your Attack Speed and Experience gain, the Alchemist is your one-stop shop for min-maxing your potential with consumables. After you've gathered some Resources in the Demon-infested mountains of the Fractured Peaks, make sure to stop in and see what the Alchemist can brew for you.
Unlocking the Alchemist
When your character reaches Level 10, you receive a Priority Quest objective to go and see the Alchemist in Kyovashad. Here you are given the task of upgrading your base Weak Healing Potion to a Tiny Healing Potion! At the low cost of 8 Gallowvine, your Healing Vial increases its efficiency by 31 additional Life.
From here you can see the Level progression and materials required to further upgrade your Potion, and the other options the Alchemist has available. Once you have the Alchemist unlocked you can see the different consumables that can be crafted, including Elixirs and whatever the unfinished Incense tab holds.
Upgrade Potion
As your character's level increases, you are able to increase the base Life granted on use by your Healing Potion. The cost to do so includes Gold as well as Resources found by picking flowers and completing side-quests. The cost and resource intensity is fairly linear all the way to Character Level 90.
Upgrade Potion Costs
Craft Elixirs
Elixirs are consumable items that give your Character specific buffs for a 30-minute duration. These can include different Resistances, increase your Attack Speed, and every Elixir increases your Experience gain by 5% for the entire duration. Keeping a steady supply of Elixirs in your "Consumables" tab is a sure-fire way to blast through the leveling progression and min-max your Character for difficult content. You may only have one Elixir active at a time and they don't expire on Character death.
Elixers have increasing costs of resources and Gold. As you reach higher levels, stronger options of the base Elixers become available for crafting. While early versions only need Gallowvine and a handful of common, stronger versions require more rare materials and monster drops.

Refine Resources
The Resources you collect are always useful, because you can transmute certain Resources into others. This allows the Player a way to give their Gallowvine and Iron Chunks a necessary glow-up when the materials they need to craft become more rare, or downgrade rarer materials if you're in need of some cheaper options. Seems like this Alchemist tab is enabling all the hoarder-style players like me, to stop and pick every flower they see!
Resource Refining Recipes
Converting Malignant Body Parts
As you advance your build, Uniques become a more integeral part of your build. In order to target farm them, there are special bosses that have specific loot tables. One such boss is Echo of Varshan. In order to summon him, you must have one each of the following (Blackened Femur, Gurgling Head, and Trembling Hand) for WT3. In WT4 however, you require all the previsouly mentioned items plus Malignant Heart. These items are obtained while doing World Bosses, The Gathering Legion Event, Whisper Collection Rewards, and from Malignant Monsters that have a chance to spawn after completely a Whisper.
With that know, it can be difficult to get some Body Parts as compared to others. Luckily, the Alchemists allows you to convert Body Parts in two different ways:
- The first set of 3 recipes allow you to take a Blackened Femur, Gurgling Head, or Trembling Hand (with other materials) and craft a cache that has a RANDOM chance to give you one of the three Body Parts back. Yes, you can get SAME one you used to create the cache. We don't usually recomend doing these recipes as the cost is pretty high for just a random chance of getting the correct one you need.
- The second set of 3 recipes allows you to take a Malignant Heart and create a cache to specifically target one of the other three Body Parts. While still being costly, this at least allows you to get the one you require 100% of the time, no RNG.
Summoning Item Recipes
In any case, these recipes are good to use in a pintch or if you have a lot of materials left over to use. Usually the answer to, "Should I use these?" is...just do more Whispers.
Craft Incense
Incense applies a buff to all players within a decent sized range around the user for 20 minutes. Players can only benefit from one of each buff at any given time. Incense grant an experience buff and presist through death. You can only use one Incense of each type (I, II, III) at a time. Four players in a Dungeon can hypothetically benefit from a total of 9 Incense buffs.
Type I Incenses:
- Spirit Dance
- Desert Escape
- Storm of the Wilds
- Ancient Times
- Blessed Guide
- Queen's Supreme
- Sage's Whisper
- Song of the Mountain
Type II Incenses:
- Soothing Spices
- Scents of the Desert Afternoon
- Spiral Morning
- Reddamine Buzz
Type III Incenses:
- Chorus of War

Summary
- The Alchemist can empower your Healing Potion, brew powerful Elixirs to boost your Stats and Experience gain, and refine your Resources into others for a small cost.
- Your Healing Potion can be upgraded at major level milestones up to Level 90! Make sure to keep the necessary resources on hand when you hit these milestones to always have the strongest Potion on your belt!
- Resource Refining lets you swap your resources on the fly! Stop and smell the flowers every once in a while as you cleanse Sanctuary of Demons... you might need that Gallowvine later!
- Incense allows you to provide a buff to all players around you, or your team members while in a dungeon. You can only benefit from one of each type of Incense at a given time.
