The Alchemist is a Diablo 4 vendor that supplies players with upgraded health potions, elixirs, and incense. Additionally, the Alchemist can alchemically transform quantities of certain crafting materials into other materials for a cost in gold.
How To Unlock The Alchemist
The Alchemist is even more critical than the Blacksmith in the early game, and this is because they can improve your health potion, helping to keep you alive for as long as possible. Once you reach level 10, the priority quest called Health Potion Upgrading will automatically be unlocked and leading you to the Alchemist’s location.

Each upgraded Health Potion has its potency enhanced, granting you a larger instant bonus, in addition to the Maximum Life percentage amount over time.
