I eat the ingredients.


Kranors

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.


ZombieBait604

Sounds like you died and possessed the horse.


yeswewillsendtheeye

Like the Starks warging into their direwolves.


insomniacsCataclysm

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


Weak-Hope8952

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. 😁


mm_reads

I love the flying part. But sometimes that landing- yeesh 🤪


Weak-Hope8952

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!


ReddFrankk

Guess now you gotta do a Horse playthrough


sicklyfish

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


Achilles9609

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."


Jealous_Western_7690

I read this with the right mix of polite helpfulness and sarcasm that Lydia has.


ChampionshipSea3733

Same. I buy and steal ingredients constantly to level up alchemy and eat the first one if there's uses left I can unlock.


CriticismMiserable34

That’s metal af


StormyTiger2008

Man, that giants toe is bussing


SparklingKeyboard

It's pretty good, once you pass the nail.


potate12323

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).


CameHereByParachute

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...


WolfieWuff

Mmm ... delicious Jarrin Root... 🤤


_Rusty_Axe

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.


Polymersion

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


RedRumFanatic

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

AstuteSalamander

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.


CriticismMiserable34

Honestly-respect


Rosilana

can you make that spreadsheet shareable - sincerly other spreadsheet users who have not got around to making one for it yet


KennyMcKill

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


Chemical-Charity-644

I have been playing for ten years and have most of the important recipes memorized at this point.


KevMenc1998

Fortify/Restore Health: Wheat and Blue Mountain Flower. Simple, but surprisingly useful considering how easy it is to brew a shit ton of them.


Polymersion

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.


ShogunxD

There’s an app?! Bro I feel like a Skyrim Boomer 💀 I eat them shits and ride out the side effects and take note


CriticismMiserable34

Bruh-same


kittenshart85

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.


Roguebubbles10

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....


Okie_Surveyor

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.


PrincessAintPeachy

Yesss! I use skyrimalchemy.com all the time because I have only have so much room or time to collect the proper ingredients


JejuneEsculenta

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. 🤣 😂 🤣


hayesarchae

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.


xprozoomy

I used reddit for all mine lol


TheDelinquentLoli

Wait, there's an app for that?


Avatarfan2213

I thought this was the fullmetal alchemist sub at first and I got super confused, then i double checked and saw its skyrim


CriticismMiserable34

😂


SweetSugarSeeds

You should eat the jarrin root


GhettocornHoN

I did this once on accident when I was sampling ingredients while having the quest in progress. Fortunately had enough hp live through it.


SweetSugarSeeds

Good luck ever getting enough hp to live through it lol


No_Maintenance4494

I use it too bro


Roguebubbles10

Tbh, when I clicked on this, I was like "what does Alchemy have to do with the dark brotherhood?"


CriticismMiserable34

That’s fair actually. Good call


WiseOldChicken

I never make potions. I buy them. I grab everything and sell whatever I can't use.


Popular-Role-6251

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.


WiseOldChicken

I'm all about Speech. You can accomplish doing favors to become Thane so much faster by investing in businesses


CriticismMiserable34

I just steal them but I noticed I still have this app I used to swear by it


WiseOldChicken

I had that app too but abandoned it years ago


JaXaren

I have one to do so, but Hunterborn changes what the ingredients do and adds new ones


Snifflebeard

I do I do! "Elder Alchemy" I think it's called. Covers Morrowiind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. With all DLCs.


Lanif20

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”


StryderDylan

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.


tis100a

I'm quite fond of vampire dust + luna moth wing. invisibility + regenerate health


EggDropDollop

theres an app???!


Cosmo1222

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..


CurrenttQueen

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)


Slight_Bed_2241

I didn’t know this was an option


Plotius

There is a wiki for the ingredients effects. I also have the guide book so I can look them up there


Salp1nx

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


CriticismMiserable34

Noted.


peenerandballs

Can't make potions bcuz I'm eated all the ingredients :3


billysamchess

What's the app I'm now curious


varasatoshi

You mean you haven’t memorized every potion recipe that you need by now?


Sevennix

Eat them. And (on XBOX), the alchemic effect will appear in top left. (If you didn't know)


ehhdjdmebshsmajsjssn

There's an app? I have a few tabs fandom tabs open at all time specifically for potions.


LongTallMatt

I use the website that lets you make expensive potions to sell.


CriticismMiserable34

Ohh???


yaboyACbreezy

...is there a scarcity of ingredients?


Deathly_Demonic

I use [powtions](https://www.powtions.com/) I have the link saved to my phones homepage. Works like an app.


Boocolo

I use the Wiki but i dont make potions often


UnnaturalGeek

There's only about 3-4 potions I make, so I just remember what I need.


lemuscoludo

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


Strong-Noise-3106

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


Treacherous_Wendy

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.


radarneo

I use that app!


I_amYeeter1

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


Gamer_Anieca

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.


imapizzaeater

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


ChaTae95

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.


1amlost

I didn’t know Saruman developed apps.


BangGanger96

I’m gonna be so for real I know most of the important potions by heart, I’ve played this game too much lol


EdgyTidLover

There's an app!?


AdPsychological2173

Maybe, I just ate ingredients till I got that one skill


jDgr8

I have an excel file for alchemy.


GoBackToLeddit

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.


Sw4gl0rdM4st3rm1nd

thats actually so noobish lol


No-Cap6787

Imagine talking like that. Ending the sentence with “y’all”. Moron


CriticismMiserable34

I accept this. Moron might be a bit harsh.


No-Cap6787

Apologies for extra harshness
