In Diablo 4, you can equip potions to gain certain bonuses. And as soon as you complete the quest “A Pinch of Poison,” it is even possible to use two potions simultaneously and stack the bonuses.

What kind of quest is this? In Kehjistan, you will find the quest “A Pinch of Poison” near the waypoints “Gea Kul” on World Levels 3 and 4. With this quest, you unlock the recipe for the potion “Elixir of Antivenin,” which grants you the following bonuses for 30 minutes:

• increases your maximum life by 15%
• increases your poison resistance by 20%
• XP gain increased by 8%

If you regularly forget to use your elixirs, we have a trick for you:

Elixir of Antivenin – Recipe and Crafting

How do I get the recipe? To obtain the recipe for the Elixir of Antivenin, you need to accept the quest from the NPC Baraim in Gea Kul. He will then send you to collect poison glands from scorpions in Kehjistan. A blue circle will appear on your map where you can find many scorpions.

Once you have collected 15 poison glands, return to Baraim. He will reward you with the recipe and a few potions. You activate the recipe by “using” it like other consumables. Then you can craft it at your trusted alchemist.

After completing the quest, you can also craft the elixir with any characters you create afterward. The side quest will be shown to you again starting from World Level 3, but you do not need to do it again.

How can I equip multiple potions? In Diablo 4, you can only equip one potion at a time. Once you use a new one, the old one is replaced – along with its bonuses. However, you can equip another potion alongside the Elixir of Antivenin, such as a basic elixir or one of the seasonal potions introduced in Season 4 “Fresh Loot”.

What does this do for me? With the Elixir of Antivenin, your life and poison resistance are increased. Additionally, you could use an elixir that increases your armor or critical hit chance. At the same time, the bonuses for XP gain are stacked. This means using two potions is especially worthwhile when leveling.

In Season 4, the XP gain has been significantly increased on World Levels 2 to 4, and leveling is faster than ever before. When it comes to leveling, there are various ways to quickly gain XP.

Since Season 4, players have been suffering from a lack of gold in Diablo 4. Blizzard stated that they want to address the problem and are making a first attempt with a patch. But that only solves a small part of it.

Season 4 in Diablo 4 started on May 14 and not only brought new content but also the realization: Everything is somehow more expensive. Whether it’s about upgrading the healing potion, endgame crafting, or improving gear.

Even MeinMMO editor and Diablo expert Benedict Grothaus is as poor as a church mouse.

On X, Blizzard reported on May 20 with a patch that aims to lower the costs of a feature in Diablo 4. But that does not yet address the core gold problem of the players.

Crafting chests cost less gold

How is Blizzard trying to solve the gold problem? On May 20, Global Community Development Director Adam Fletcher reported on X to the community. He writes that the team will soon release a patch that aims to reduce the gold costs for crafting chests.

Game Director Joseph Piepiora shared the post on X and added:

While we continue to review the gold economy, there is one change we wanted to make immediately: The costs for converting materials for Masterworking have now been drastically reduced.

Why is the solution not so easy? While it is now possible to convert materials for the new endgame crafting ‘Masterworking’ (Completion) for less gold, the rest remains just as expensive in Diablo 4. Once the materials are converted, you still need hundreds of thousands to millions of gold to improve items with them.

Other features are also expensive. Upgrading the healing potion costs several million gold depending on the level. If you try different builds and switch between items, you also need quite a bit of gold for upgrading gear and enchanting individual items.

What the developers fundamentally change about the gold problem and when remains to be seen. On May 17, Adam Fletcher already commented on X, that there are ‘internal discussions about gold and some other things that are ongoing.’

Diablo 4: Farming gold in Season 4 – This is the best way to do it

‘Masterworking’ is the new endgame crafting in Diablo 4. There are a total of 12 levels with which you can improve your items. ‘Tempering’ is the second new form of crafting that you can use earlier because it is simply cheaper.

However, many players rush to the occultist first when they find a strong item. There, they reroll one of the stats or imprint a legendary affix to fit the item into their build. Both of these cost a lot of gold. Therefore, you should get used to a different order when crafting: Diablo 4: A silly mistake can cost you millions of gold – And a perfect item
