The saves wont disapear, if i patch, right?
ZakariusSvedlin, after reading your character creation guide, i choose alchemy as one of my majors, thanks for the tips.
Is it wise to randomly create junk potions, to raise the alchemy skill? Then just selling the potions.. I pick up ingredients as i travel in the landscape.
I didnt choose the bow skill, instead i chose two mage skills, healing and summoning. What are good ways to raise those skills? Do you get increase in the healing skill if you use healing, even if you are not hurt? Thus constantly casting heal when traveling about?
I sell a lot of junk potions. I keep ones that restore health, restore, magicka, cure disease, damage health, and fortify attributes. It will always work if you remember to use it. When you use alchemy like I do, its a major focal point. I mean I buff the hell out of my characters. The uses for it are endless you just have to remember what you have, what you can make, and what you need.
The people who say you level too fast only think about the restoration potions. The Fortifications are where Alchemy shines. It does level you up fast, you will be reliant on it, but it will always be able to handle whatever you run into. ( I know this because I have made a character based on Alchemy with no other real combat skills)
Master alchemy takes almost no time to get once you have access to the Garden at the Mage Academy, and its so strong that its game breaking. Hell Journymen Alchemy is pretty awesome.
Summon monsters and fight them, then heal yourself. Yes I do believe you can increase Restoration without actually healing... its just a very very slow skill.
