The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Alchemy Calculator
Skyrim's alchemy system allows players to brew potent potions and devastating poisons by combining ingredients with matching effects. Understanding these effects and the best combinations is key to mastering the art of alchemy, whether you're seeking to heal your wounds, bolster your skills, or decimate your enemies.
Each ingredient in Skyrim possesses up to four distinct alchemical effects. When you combine two or more ingredients, a potion or poison is created based on the shared effects between them. The potency of the resulting concoction is influenced by the player's Alchemy skill, relevant perks, and the quality of the ingredients used. This calculator helps you explore potential combinations based on ingredient effects.
How to Use This Calculator:
- Identify the effects of the ingredients you possess.
- Enter the known effects into the input fields below.
- The calculator will suggest potential combinations and the resulting potion/poison type.
Note: This calculator focuses on identifying potential combinations based on shared effects. It does not account for ingredient magnitude, player skill, or perks, which significantly affect the final potion's strength and value.
