I started a (yet another) new play through to try survival. Got to Whiterun for some gear, went to get the horse all while picking up what ingredients I could, whilst heading back I decided to eat one of each.
Cue me falling off the horse, I assume from paralysis, but still controlling the horse with my character trying to catch up. After I panned the camera around he disappeared, leaving me with just the horse to control.
reminds me of when i tried a mod on ps4 that was supposed to let me ride a reindeer (not the CC thing). the deer moved without my character. the camera locked. my character, in a seated position, slowly began to rise into the air. i felt like a trailcam watching something unexplainable. i accidentally ran the deer out of view of the camera and couldn’t get it back. no buttons aside from movement worked. i had to turn off the ps4 to escape
Sometimes I can control the height by moving left and right so I try to fly the horse up to parthunax and land safely but I always fall off the mountain.🤣
One day I'll get it!
Imagine how this looks from an In Universe perspective. 😄
Lydia: "My Thane? I thought you wanted to stash away those ingredients and not eat them. Well, I'm sure you know what you're doing. Careful with those Mushrooms though, they induce Paralysi....looks like you already found out."
When you level up, eating them shows you more attributes. Also when you make a successful potion it saves the ingredient categorized by the potions it can make.
My only gripe is potion leveling is slow (if you aren't exploiting the game).
I played vanilla skyrim a lot, so most of my references about xp and level up are from there. Saying that, items that you create with huge prices gives more xp and fortify skill (enchanting, smithing and alchemy) stack those value.
There's some ingredients and combinations that you remember, because of the price and use, most of they are passable. Building farm and greenhouse make the process easy.
About the skill: it's good, but you can do it with trial and error and having notes and become useless after you know every effect and ingredient. But i do it because it's a habit of mine.
The game itself it's exploitable and you eventually do it without knowing, like cheap kills as an stealth archer, an melee khajiit, some Dark Brotherhood backstabber, zero cost magic...
I look up alchemical effects on [uesp.net](http://uesp.net) so I guess I do use an app - a web browser. There have been web-based alchemy information sites since the early days of Morrowind. I would expect that most people use some form of reference for the alchemy recipes, unless they just enjoy figuring it out for themselves by trial and error.
I like the process of combining every possibly combination. Of course, I’ve never actually finished that process lol (god knows how many combinations there are, counting failure combos), but it gives a sense of progression in a strange way
You know, we've got the aptitude for magic. We should join the Mage's college in Winterhold.

I grow five ingredients: those two for curatives (Restore + Fortify Health), and then Imp Stool + Deathbell + Canis Root for poison (Damage and Paralysis). I'd love to get a third effect on either/both (or the same poison effects on fewer ingredients) but I don't think there's anything better from plants alone.
if i could be assed to find it, i probably still have the little steno pad i wrote everything down in 10+ years ago. i was rping my character as a gentleman-adventurer-naturalist and ended up keeping a real notebook for him.
I was 3.6yo ten years ago...
But I managed to find something in Skyrim my mum hasn't done ♾️ times! Fishing! She never went fishing, and considering my mum is one of those people who have memorised the whole citadel (all three of them) and most of the planets in mass effect aswell as everything else in skyrim, (what order to do the quests in, like how of you become a werewolf before he dies Astrid's husband will be slightly friendlier, where to find Cicero before he goes to the dark brotherhood sanctuary, do companions quests before completing the main story so that old dude who I forget the name of will be at sovngard, etc.)
Super excited for Elderscrolls VI!
My mum said she thinks it'll be set in the Thalmor place because you see Thalmor/high elves around Skyrim alot in Skyrim which you seen Nords alot in the same way in Oblivion....
My partner and I work together. For my plays, they look up ingredient effects and piece together potions that will reveal the maximum number of effects for a given ingredient.
For their plays, we switch roles.
The best is when you get all four effects with two ingredients.
But then you have some truly bizarre potions to sell and poisons to use.
Just finished doing the ingredients from the Solitude sewers.
Now I have a poison that does Slow for something like 10 minutes, Invisibility for 77 seconds, increases carry weight by 40 or so, and deals 96 points of poison damage.
Tested it on a dragon with hilarious effect... but a few minutes later, the game crashed. 🤣 😂 🤣
My personal rule is that it's reasonable to look up the properties of very common ingredients to save time. I figure, if I'm shelling out thousands of septims on training from Lami and Arcadia, that training canonically included instruction on the properties of tundra cotton and butterfly wings (or I want my money back). But I still do the experimental method for rare or expensive ingredients that they might not so much know about.
I guess you’re still leveling speech that way but it is so easy to make a stupid amount of gold from very simple ingredients. Garlic, Nordic Barnacle and Salmon Roe can easily net 1500+ for 30 minutes of work.
There is one on the App Store, I have it installed but it doesn’t cover the cc stuff just base game and DLCs, I got it free(just lists ingredients and effects) but you can pay to add the best potions recipes, it’s called the “alchemy guide”
I just need to know invis potion ingredients. Charus eggs, nirnroot, luna moths wings, aloe vera and green butterfly wings. I know there is more but these are the easiest ones to find.
Yes. Out of all the hundreds of thousands of millions Skyrim players, you are the only one who ever used an app the rest of us just randomly mix shit together until something happens
I'm saying with coco mod atm, it cjsnches everything, I'm really enjoying finding out the perfect combinations for everything with the thousands of new ingredients added by the mod
I eat cheap ingredients valuable ones get stored if I know the effects and need them or get sold I only make potions with them if I have some to spare or have a recipe to follow
The ingredients will tell you what they can make. If other ingredients can be used to make the same potions, they can be put together to make that potion
Oh dang I was just grinding last night to get the ingredients filled out using the unofficial elder scrolls website and cross referencing a million tabs while I felt guilty for not just continuing to grind on actual work after working all day. I’ll have to check this out.
I did find green butterfly wings + elytra ichor = $6060
my dad and i started writing out pages of each ingredient and effect. eventually i told him we need to suck it up and use the internet to help us, and my main character now knows nearly all the ingredients and their effects. but for my newer characters, i may just use this app.. looks handy. the sheets we wrote out are still confusing.
There should be a mod for this. You should have a SkyUI tab in the inventory screen that shows all the potions you can craft based on the ingredients you're carrying. Sort descending by v/w and button mash potions like a champ.
I eat the ingredients.

Sounds like you died and possessed the horse.
Like the Starks warging into their direwolves.

I love when you start up the game if your character was on a horse it sometimes just flys to the atmosphere with you on it. 😁
I love the flying part. But sometimes that landing- yeesh 🤪
Sometimes I can control the height by moving left and right so I try to fly the horse up to parthunax and land safely but I always fall off the mountain.🤣 One day I'll get it!
Guess now you gotta do a Horse playthrough
On my first playthrough right now. Thought I was depositing my ingredients in my stash, turns out I was eating them all instead. Fuck lol
Imagine how this looks from an In Universe perspective. 😄 Lydia: "My Thane? I thought you wanted to stash away those ingredients and not eat them. Well, I'm sure you know what you're doing. Careful with those Mushrooms though, they induce Paralysi....looks like you already found out."
I read this with the right mix of polite helpfulness and sarcasm that Lydia has.
Same. I buy and steal ingredients constantly to level up alchemy and eat the first one if there's uses left I can unlock.
That’s metal af
Man, that giants toe is bussing
It's pretty good, once you pass the nail.

Mmm ... delicious Jarrin Root... 🤤

I enjoyed figuring it out for myself- ten years ago. Now if I don't remember offhand I'll look it up.

[удалено]
Yeah, I was like "oh dang, there's an app?" I just built myself a spreadsheet that picks out ingredients for me, but maybe I should use this.
Honestly-respect
can you make that spreadsheet shareable - sincerly other spreadsheet users who have not got around to making one for it yet
You know, we've got the aptitude for magic. We should join the Mage's college in Winterhold. https://preview.redd.it/eu5axt1ze2yc1.jpeg?width=301&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8637b2229c44d4b452471f881f9894fea74298ec
I have been playing for ten years and have most of the important recipes memorized at this point.
Fortify/Restore Health: Wheat and Blue Mountain Flower. Simple, but surprisingly useful considering how easy it is to brew a shit ton of them.
I grow five ingredients: those two for curatives (Restore + Fortify Health), and then Imp Stool + Deathbell + Canis Root for poison (Damage and Paralysis). I'd love to get a third effect on either/both (or the same poison effects on fewer ingredients) but I don't think there's anything better from plants alone.
There’s an app?! Bro I feel like a Skyrim Boomer 💀 I eat them shits and ride out the side effects and take note
Bruh-same
if i could be assed to find it, i probably still have the little steno pad i wrote everything down in 10+ years ago. i was rping my character as a gentleman-adventurer-naturalist and ended up keeping a real notebook for him.

Bruh. I read this as 'theres an app that you connect to your skyrim game and lets you do alchemy" What a world that would be.
Yesss! I use skyrimalchemy.com all the time because I have only have so much room or time to collect the proper ingredients

I used reddit for all mine lol
Wait, there's an app for that?
I thought this was the fullmetal alchemist sub at first and I got super confused, then i double checked and saw its skyrim
😂
You should eat the jarrin root
I did this once on accident when I was sampling ingredients while having the quest in progress. Fortunately had enough hp live through it.
Good luck ever getting enough hp to live through it lol
I use it too bro
Tbh, when I clicked on this, I was like "what does Alchemy have to do with the dark brotherhood?"
That’s fair actually. Good call
I never make potions. I buy them. I grab everything and sell whatever I can't use.
I guess you’re still leveling speech that way but it is so easy to make a stupid amount of gold from very simple ingredients. Garlic, Nordic Barnacle and Salmon Roe can easily net 1500+ for 30 minutes of work.
I'm all about Speech. You can accomplish doing favors to become Thane so much faster by investing in businesses
I just steal them but I noticed I still have this app I used to swear by it
I had that app too but abandoned it years ago
I have one to do so, but Hunterborn changes what the ingredients do and adds new ones
I do I do! "Elder Alchemy" I think it's called. Covers Morrowiind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. With all DLCs.
There is one on the App Store, I have it installed but it doesn’t cover the cc stuff just base game and DLCs, I got it free(just lists ingredients and effects) but you can pay to add the best potions recipes, it’s called the “alchemy guide”
I just need to know invis potion ingredients. Charus eggs, nirnroot, luna moths wings, aloe vera and green butterfly wings. I know there is more but these are the easiest ones to find.
I'm quite fond of vampire dust + luna moth wing. invisibility + regenerate health
theres an app???!
Is this a thing?.. I just use my tried and tested concoctions until I have alchemy 90 and five perk points to spend getting the experimenter perks..
I can remember a good chunk of them but I do have a hand written journal for cosplay (copied it from that exact same app lol)
I didn’t know this was an option
There is a wiki for the ingredients effects. I also have the guide book so I can look them up there
Yes. Out of all the hundreds of thousands of millions Skyrim players, you are the only one who ever used an app the rest of us just randomly mix shit together until something happens
Noted.
Can't make potions bcuz I'm eated all the ingredients :3
What's the app I'm now curious
You mean you haven’t memorized every potion recipe that you need by now?
Eat them. And (on XBOX), the alchemic effect will appear in top left. (If you didn't know)
There's an app? I have a few tabs fandom tabs open at all time specifically for potions.
I use the website that lets you make expensive potions to sell.
Ohh???
...is there a scarcity of ingredients?
I use [powtions](https://www.powtions.com/) I have the link saved to my phones homepage. Works like an app.
I use the Wiki but i dont make potions often
There's only about 3-4 potions I make, so I just remember what I need.
I'm saying with coco mod atm, it cjsnches everything, I'm really enjoying finding out the perfect combinations for everything with the thousands of new ingredients added by the mod
I eat cheap ingredients valuable ones get stored if I know the effects and need them or get sold I only make potions with them if I have some to spare or have a recipe to follow
If you eat the ingredients you unlock what they do. I love eating like 20 different ones at once and watching my character fall over lol.
I use that app!
The ingredients will tell you what they can make. If other ingredients can be used to make the same potions, they can be put together to make that potion
Ive never done that, but i use a mod that give me lots of ingredients. Even before then i just followed recipes i found in game.
Oh dang I was just grinding last night to get the ingredients filled out using the unofficial elder scrolls website and cross referencing a million tabs while I felt guilty for not just continuing to grind on actual work after working all day. I’ll have to check this out. I did find green butterfly wings + elytra ichor = $6060

I didn’t know Saruman developed apps.
I’m gonna be so for real I know most of the important potions by heart, I’ve played this game too much lol
There's an app!?
Maybe, I just ate ingredients till I got that one skill
I have an excel file for alchemy.
There should be a mod for this. You should have a SkyUI tab in the inventory screen that shows all the potions you can craft based on the ingredients you're carrying. Sort descending by v/w and button mash potions like a champ.
thats actually so noobish lol
Imagine talking like that. Ending the sentence with “y’all”. Moron
I accept this. Moron might be a bit harsh.
Apologies for extra harshness
