Skyrim - Basic Alchemy Guide


The art of creating potions and poisons. To creation potions and poisons, you would need alchemical ingredients and then, you need ingredients that react positively and negatively with each other. Mixing positively reacting ingredients will create potion and mixing negatively reacting ingredients will create poison.
Each alchemical ingredient has four effects and you can check the first effect by tasting that ingredient. You can find the remaining three effects of the ingredient by testing and experimenting with these ingredients.
It is not finding ingredients that you should worry about but, the effects of these ingredients because Alchemy depends on that. Your goal is to find ingredients that have a common trait.
Mixing ingredients with common trait will create a potion and you can create a varied variety of these just by combing different ingredients with same basic properties.
You can even mix multiple ingredients at once, but they should be compatible. This way, you will a large varied number of potions, you can use under different circumstances.
Be careful though, you can easily mess it up – such as you can create a great health regeneration potion but it may also have a negative effect, damaging you at the same time.
To create potions and poisons, you will need to perform Alchemy at designated Alchemy Labs throughout Skyrim. I have pointed out several Alchemy Labs below, for when you can’t find one.
Alchemy Ingredient Effects
If you don’t believe in experimenting, these are the alchemical effects of all the ingredients that you can use to create potions and poisons. You can combine the two positive ingredients to create a potion and negative ingredients to create poison. You can apply the poison to your weapons to make them more lethal.
Key
Positive or Negative Ingredient Effect
Ingredient (Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quaternary) – Each ingredient is followed by the () indicating whether the ingredient effect is primary (1), secondary (2), tertiary (3), or quaternary (4).

How To Make a Potion, Poison
First you will need to find a perfect recipe to create a potion or a poison and there is only one way to find out – Experiment in the Alchemy Lab with different ingredients.
Once you have found a recipe, go find its ingredients – which should be found throughout Skyrim or purchased from Merchants. When you have the ingredients, visit your nearest Alchemy Lab and mix these ingredients to create the potion/poison.
For example, mix blue mountain flower (common ingredient) with Sabre Cat Eyeball (Can be picked up off the carcass of a dead Sabre Cat – Which are found around Honeystrand Cave area, south of Iverstead) to create a restoration potion.
