Understanding Skyrim Alchemy
Alchemy in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a vital crafting skill that allows players to create powerful potions and poisons by combining ingredients found throughout the vast world. Each ingredient possesses up to four distinct magical effects, and when two ingredients with a shared effect are combined, that effect is infused into the resulting potion or poison.
How Alchemy Works
- Ingredient Effects: Every ingredient in Skyrim has a specific set of magical effects. The number of effects revealed for an ingredient increases as your Alchemy skill level rises and as you use perks in the Alchemy skill tree.
- Discovering Effects: To discover an effect, you can either eat an ingredient (which consumes it and reveals one effect) or combine two ingredients in an Alchemy Lab.
- Combining Ingredients: When you mix two ingredients at an Alchemy Lab, any effects they have in common will manifest in the created potion or poison. For example, if Ingredient A has "Restore Health" and "Fortify Magicka," and Ingredient B also has "Restore Health" and "Damage Stamina," combining them will yield a potion with "Restore Health."
- Multiple Ingredients: This calculator allows you to input up to four ingredients. The logic here is that a potion can only have effects that are present in at least two of the ingredients you choose. The calculator identifies these common effects to suggest potential potions.
- Potions vs. Poisons: The effects can be beneficial (potions) or detrimental (poisons). The outcome depends on the specific effects of the ingredients and your character's skills and perks. For instance, "Damage Health" will always be a poison effect, while "Restore Health" will be a potion effect.
Tips for Alchemy Mastery
- Experimentation is Key: The best way to learn is by trying different combinations. This calculator can help you narrow down the possibilities.
- Gather Widely: Collect every plant, mushroom, and creature part you come across. You never know when an ingredient might be crucial for a powerful potion.
- Invest in Perks: The Alchemy skill tree offers powerful perks that increase potion strength, reveal more ingredient effects, and allow for more effects per potion.
- Fortify Alchemy Gear: Enchanting gear with "Fortify Alchemy" can significantly boost the effectiveness of your created potions and poisons.
By understanding the synergies between different ingredients, you can brew potent concoctions to aid you in combat, exploration, and recovery, making Alchemy one of the most rewarding skills in Skyrim.
Example Calculation:
Let's say you have the following ingredients:
- Ingredient 1: Blue Mountain Flower (Effects: Restore Health, Fortify Magicka, Damage Stamina, Slow)
- Ingredient 2: Garlic (Effects: Restore Stamina, Fortify Restoration, Damage Magicka, Damage Undead)
- Ingredient 3: Lavender (Effects: Restore Magicka, Fortify Alteration, Damage Stamina, Fear)
- Ingredient 4: Blue Butterfly Wing (Effects: Restore Health, Fortify Magicka, Damage Stamina, Slow)
When you input "Blue Mountain Flower" and "Blue Butterfly Wing" into the calculator, it will identify "Restore Health," "Fortify Magicka," and "Damage Stamina" as common effects between these two. If you were to add other ingredients that shared any of these effects, they would also be listed. For example, if you also added "Lavender" and "Jazbay Grapes" (which has Fortify Destruction and Damage Stamina), "Damage Stamina" would remain a possible effect.
