*Makes 47 potions* *Alchemy increases to level 22* lolwut? I mean alchemy is extremely helpful and I have only leveled twice, but even with all of the ingredients scattered around I can't seem to make alchemy to compete with any of my other skills. How do you deal with this? Do you just go into the wilderness exclusively for ingredients? Pick up every ingredient in sight? (I already do this). What? I have been using alchemy just as much as my other skills and it has barely leveled. What am I doing wrong?

Some potions level up your skill more. Experiment or use an online guide. I use http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Alchemy_%28Skyrim%29 one. I don't like wasting ingredients. Or you can eat one. :shrug:
