Thanks for Elder Scrolls Wikia for releasing several alchemy effects of Skyrim, I can now attach it to my Guide to make it more comprehensive. Also this list might not be final, so if I discover anything missing, I will add them to the list for I don't know if the list below has every possible ingredients.
Potions in Skyrim are crafted of several ingredients which can be gathered throughout the world of Skyrim. You don't need to have any empty bottles or anything, just the ingredients and an alchemy lab next to you to craft potions.
(Alchemy Lab in Skyrim)
Alchemy Labs can be found in many places and are very common in Skyrim World. Any major city will most likely have at least one Alchemy Store. Any Alchemy Store has the lab, also many dungeons have Alchemy Labs inside. In both cases they are free to use. First Alchemy Lab you're going to encounter is located as early as in Riverwood.
Each potion may have one or more effects in it depending of ingredients used. Brewing potions is based on your Alchemy skill, and higher you have it, the more effects and combinations you'll be able to use when brewing, as well as make stronger potions.
The following list is alphabetically listed by "potion specific effect", then including any ingredient listed under the effect, that creates the effect. I think it's most easy way to find the right ingredients this way if you know what type of potion you want to make.
Potions of often require at least two different effect-specific ingredients to make certain potion, while third ingredient might be often optional, like: ingredient, ingredient, optional.
This way for example if you wanted to create a healing potion, according to the list, you could go for mixing Blisterwort, Butterfly Wing, and one optional one if you wish.
Remember that every each ingredient might have several possible effects, so you need to experiment a little to get your wished potion effect right!

Fortify One-handed, Fortify Light Armor, Fortify One-handed is obviously wrong. The third benefit is FORTIFY SNEAK. Not the best in my opinion because you don't often need to sneak once a battle has begun.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately you can't create a 'fortify one-handed, fortify light-armour and fortify block' potion, which is my idea of the ultimate one-handed potion. But that can't stop you carrying a combination of potions containing 2 out of the 3 attributes. And also there's plenty combat fortifying potions with different health bonuses added in.

Ah, sorry to hear that. For me I need constant breaks from the game anyway, it can become quickly overwhelming - sometimes it takes more work than my day job!
ReplyDeleteBut I'm glad I worked out the potions above. I used this page after I got bored of wasting so many ingredients through experimentation. Good luck fixing your machine!
Oh yes, games like these are really catchy and thus very time consuming also. When you sink into the world of it, day just passes by so easily :D
