Ancient Times

From Diablo 4 Wiki

Incense are a great way to boost stats and increase the rate at which you earn experience points.

Many of them are crafted by an Alchemist and will require you to collect Crafting Materials out in the world from bushes and slaying monsters. Some can be purchased from the Dark Citadel Vendor.

  • Can have 1 Incense from each of the 3 Types active at the same time
  • They last 20 minutes and persist through death
  • They affect you and nearby players (grouped or ungrouped)
  • Buffs stack with any Elixir you have active and Incense burned by other nearby players (grouped or ungrouped)
  • The 5% Experience buff from your incense does not stack with the Experience buff from another incense burnt by yourself or other players. The 5% Experience buff from any Elixir you have active will stack with a 5% Experience buff from a single Incense.
  • They can be traded with other players.
  • Full list of Incense.
