The Sacrificial Hermit is a Diablo III event in Act I. It starts only if Rodger the Alchemist has spawned in Wortham Bluffs. The alchemist will ask the player to bring a potion that makes the drinker's blood sweeter to the Crazed Hermit. Although this event simply requires traveling a short distance, it awards gold and experience (and has been used to speed farm until nerfed). It does not affect the Hermit's fate, although he will be more than happy to see the potion delivered. In addition, Rodger will also allow the player to buy some potions and dyes at half price when the event is complete.
