Iron Barb Elixir

From Diablo 4 Wiki

Iron Barb Elixir increases Armor and gives you Thorns as well as the rate at which you earn Experience Points.

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

You will need to collect Crafting Materials out in the world from bushes and slaying monsters. You take these materials to the Alchemist who can craft them into usable herbs and then into Elixirs. These processes will also cost you gold.

  • Can have 1 Elixir active at the same time
  • Most last 30 minutes and persist through death, some last 15 minutes
  • They affect only you
  • You can have Incense active at the same time
  • Buffs from both your Elixir and Incense can stack but the Experience buff from any Elixir you have active will only stack with the Experience buff from a single Incense.
  • They can be traded with other players
