Since your Alchemy skill increases based on the value of the potion. So what are some of the most valuable potions/poisons you can make?

I imagine the ones with the highest value will also have really rare ingredients but there has got to be higher end value potions with ingredients that are plentiful and easy to find right? Right now I'm having a hard time finding/making any potions worth more than 100 gold and thus not leveling Alchemy very much. Want to be more efficient.

Not even one suggestion? Nobody uses Alchemy?

I was making stun/magic regen potions that were valued at 3000.... 4x 29% alchemy pieces and the alchemy perks that increase these things (only the first 3 that matter). Nothing rare... I have 500,000 at the moment.. just stopped caring about it at this point. I make 219 health/stamina/magicka potions and thats about it...

In short: find some alchemy gear... or make some. It will dramatically increase the value of potions which gives you more XP.

Why do you need to make potions that cost more than a $100? The price of the potion has nothing to do with how much experience you get making it. It has to do with the complexity of the ingredients, the duration and the magnitude.

But, still, why the arbitrary value? Any potion you make will contribute to you leveling that skill.

While he does not have the site set up yet for Skyrim, most of the ingredients and combos are the same for Oblivion, so this will help

That's not what I heard and that's not what is said in the strategy guide.


Okay but you would think the complexity ones would result in a higher value (in terms of cost) potion. Right? Thus giving you more XP according to the strategy guide.

That's all the possible potions now which ones would be worth more as solo potions and which combinations that you know of are worth a lot?

Obviously Restore Health is not as good as Invisibility but the ingredients for Invis. are sorta hard to come by. Looking for a good brew that is higher in value but yet easy for me to find the ingredients so I can start power leveling this [censored] to 100.

Editted: Previous post.

I can't seem to figure out which 2 or 3 ingredients you used to make a potion that stuns and regens magicka? Are you talking Slow or Paralysis for Stun?

why do you need someone to tell you which potions to make? its as simple as selecting the first item in a catigory, then the next, see how much it is worth, then select the next, and so on till you hit the end of the list, then go back to the top of the list unselect all items, start at second from the top and try it with every ingredient below it, rinse and repeat

What? Where does it tell you the value? Are you talking about some website or in-game?

Okay I see what you're saying now. If you know the effects and choose 2 ingredients it'll show you what potion it'll make. Thing is I don't know all four effects for every ingredient and thus I can't just scroll through them all and select the one with the most value...

The whole point of the forums is for discussion and to help others out with their questions.

I figured I would just ask it here and someone out there who has done Alchemy more than I have would tell me some potion they like to make that they know is valued high or that they used to level Alchemy up. That way I can do it more time efficiently and just focus on finding those ingredients and making that potion. Obviously I know I can experiment and find out for myself and that's what I guess I'll have to do.
