I do use Resist Magic, or at least a one-potion combo of Resist Fire and Resist Frost, but only when I remember. Well done for being one of the few people to pronounce "chitin" correctly.
There is only one trick to alchemy: *obsessively gather and buy every ingredient you see*. Everything else is alchemy calculators, inventory management, and quicksave-hit the vendor NPC-quickload when the NPCs run out of money. The only real problem with alchemy is that, even after it’s at double legendary and I have more ingredients than 10 dragonborn could possibly use, *I cannot stop picking up every ingredient I see*.
I could never get into alchemy for multiple of reasons of me not being interested, not really memorizing it, and something I didn't wanted to watch when watching several let's play of skyrim. However since I saw so many people praising alchemy and something you should get into, I took note, so I decided to go and find a video of a alchemy guide so I can get myself interested. And it did!
I thought I'd do a really detailed guide on something most players barely touch upon as legitimate game-play, plus I was trying out some different editing styles (some worked, some didn't), I'm glad you found the videos useful, it may be worth checking out the Rare Curios videos as they're nuts ... The first one turned from a review into more of a guide and the second showcases some insane potions 😃
I was looking forward for a new video of yours. Indeed alchemy in Skyrim is something very vast. I may add some notes though: *There is some potions that you can use to level up your alchemy skills and character level quickly, I'm used to call these as "profit potions", and are they: 1 - Garlic + Nordic Barnacle + Salmon Roe (which makes an very expensive waterbreathing potion). 2 - Dragon's Tongue + Fly Amanita + Mora Tapinella (which makes an multiple bonifications and also very expensive potion). 3 - Blue Butterfly Wings + Blue Mountain Flower + Giant's Toe (which makes an damage magicka regen potion). *There is also some excellent beginners potions, are they: 1 - Blue Mountain Flower + Wheat (which makes an restore/increase health potion). 2 - Torchbug Thorax + Honeycomb + Histcarp or Chaurus Eggs (which makes an restore/increase stamina potion). 3 - Red Mountain Flower + Tundra Cotton (which makes an increase magicka potion). *Ohh, and last but not least, there is an incredible poison recipe: 1 - Canis Root + Imp Stool + Scathecraw (which makes an paralysis/lingering damage poison). Sounds spicy huh?
Nice one thanks, Fyi I'm experimenting a bit so this is a weird set of videos where I'm trying different ways to present them, so I'd be really grateful for any feedback good or bad and suggestions are welcome ... Some of these videos will work some won't I just have to figure out which is which
@@TiddlyOggy absolutely perfect presentation- very clear and comprehensive without being overwhelmed , easy to follow even for a complete beginner like me, and dividing it into chapter time stamps makes it super easy to use as a reference
I personally prefer the recipe Salmon Roe + Histcarp + Silverside Perch All of those ingredients can be farmed in the fish hatchery simultaneously. This is very good, because the hatchery refreshes whenever the cell is reloaded, hence stepping in and out of your house gives you a whole new supply of fIsH.
I thought I wasn't seeing it but at 15:06, you put the wrong potion up instead of the potion of invisibility. Overall though, this is a well written guide on alchemy in skyrim. I recently started up in alchemy when I started playing more master difficulty and survival mode. It's paying off so much much and it's a refreshing playstyle over the typical stealth archer playthrough. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one starting up in alchemy and seeing it's benefits.
Those who know even a little bit of video editing can most likely appreciate all the work you've put into making this. 11:18 That requires cutting out the entire map in Photoshop or what not and making those landmarks blue yourself. Adding extra layers to add the Blue Butterfly Wing and Snowberry on them. And I haven't even started on the amount of research that went into this.
The amount of work that went into this was huge tbh, however this was my first attempt at this kind of video and I borrowed ideas from better creators than me... It was kind of a practice run when I had around 300-400 (I think) subs and virtually no views and no editing experience... There's a lot I'd change about this to make it more my style, that being said it's the sort of guide I like to watch and it helped me to make better videos over all (I hope)
Plants growing near each other and insects eating from these flowers often have the same effect? After so many hours I still never noticed. The depth of this guide is real!
Yeah I thought I'd do a complete series on Alchemy as most You Tubers seem to skip over it ... The Rare Curios one has some really good stuff in it !! Sadly these videos don't get many views and definitely never bring me any subs, but i still think they're worth doing, well imo anyway
@@TiddlyOggy I've noticed you're one of those sadly underrated but high quality channels on TH-cam. Well, at least I've subscribed to you a few days back, so there's a +1 for you. You seem to be as knowledgeable about this game as another uploader I used to follow, but thank goodness you don't have his arrogance!
Thanks a million, I appreciate the sub brother. The one thing I've learned about Skyrim is I don't know much, I'm always learning (usually through my mistakes) and yes there's some really arrogant You Tubers out there for sure, I've never worked out what they have to be arrogant about though !!!
Me: starts a new game, goes directly to Arcadia to train Alchemy and pickpocket the gold back. Power level alchemy to 100. Make enchanting potions and do that loop till my enchanting is at 100. Breeze through Skyrim the rest of the way.
Alchemy is crucial in early game on high difficulty. I like the way you presented this information, and the explanation of "dirty" potions, which are valuable to sell but mustn't be used unless your build can ignore the negative effect.
Thanks, it's very much appreciated, this little series took so much work so I'm glad you liked it, sadly my editing skills were a little bit basic but hey it's a learning curve 😃
Blue Mountain Flower and Wheat are really the ideal for Restore Health, as they are super easy to obtain and they additionally Fortify Health (the potions are labeled "Fortify Health")
For a dedicated Alchemist it's worth purchasing any and all of the Rare Curio ingredients. They seem to have higher magnitudes for one or more of their effects, including things like 2x potency. As an example, Corkbulb Root is quite common, probably due to the arrow and bolt crafting, and has a great Paralysis duration plus nice buffs to Fortify Marksman. Ranger's Poison: River Betty + Deathbell gives high poison damage and a slow effect, if you have Concentrated Poison then add an item with Weakness to Poison like Bleeding Crown Mage Duel Brew: Glowing Mushroom and Glow Dust gives Fortify Destruction and Resist Shock, add Wheat for Fortify Health Withering Poison: Imp Stool and Human flesh gives poison damage and Paralysis, add either Slaughterfish part for Lingering Damage Health
Thanks for that, I've got three more alchemy videos coming out including a Rare Curios video which have quite a range of potions (the Rare Curios stuff is awesome) ... This is a weird set of videos where I'm trying different ways to present them, so I'd be really grateful for any feedback good or bad and suggestions are welcome
Some good recipes: Canis Root+Hanging Moss+(Elves Ear or Juniper Berries) -- Fortify One-Handed & Fortify Marksman. Fortify Marksman is bugged and contributes to all weapon damage, meaning this potion will boost your One-Handed damage twice. Chokeberry+Deathbell+Scathecraw -- A five-effect poison, with several of the effects having a higher-than-average magnitude. Effects are: Damage Health, Ravage Health, Damage Health Over Time, Damage Stamina, and Weakness to Poison. Chokeberry is part of the Rare Curios Creation Club feature added on 11-11-21. Babette will always stock 1-4, making the ingredient _very_ easy to acquire. Canis Root+Imp Stool+Nirnroot -- Damage Health, Damage Stamina, and Paralysis. River Betty+Deathbell+(Bleeding Crown or Giant Lichen) -- Damage Health, Slow, and Weakness to Poison.
I’ve only recently started dabbling in alchemy and have to ask myself why I didn’t pay more attention to this skill before? It’s also great for role playing non-magically inclined characters/races like Orcs, Redguards and Wood Elves.

Get the merchant perk and the investing perks. Opens up more potions and ingredients in their inventory and them having more money is obvious. Merchant perk also allows you to buy ring of pure mixtures in Dawnstar.
Yeah not many mmos or rpgs put much thought in if a player wants to be an alchemist its normally just a mage that uses exploding potions instead of spells in most games ;-;
Can you tell me how many times you had to do the loop of fortify enchanting potions and fortify alchemy clothing before you were able to hit an improvement of enchanting by 56%? Or how you can get a potion of restore health to restore 347 points? Thank you
The god-tier potion for any Two-Handed warrior or battle-mage is a bee, dragon tongue, and fly amanita. Gives you regen stamina, fortify two-handed, and resist fire all in one gulp.
HELP! Are there "Active Effects" that enhance Alchemy? Somehow I created a Smithing Potion +25% stronger than I can replicate. I wear all the gear as Enchanted as I can, and I cannot figure out how I did it?! I always sleep, and make sure I am not over encumbered. What are the Major Alchemy enchanted items in the game? Do they go past +25%?
I have the first original Skyrim. Takes forever about 6 human days real life to get the 3 alchemy level with all the gathering lucky i know 4secret chests
@@user-ox6vc2zc3h Ha ha, I had no views or clues how to do these videos, so I tried to learn from creators that I like, this one was a bit close to the knuckle for sure, hence the video description...

But hey, everyone's a learner at some stage and I've moved on to my own style (though I still don't get many subs or views)

Very useful for information 👍 trying to legendary alchemy so I can get experimenter for the new ingredients in anniversary edition.
What appearance mod do you have installed, your character looks great!
This is an old video, I sadly can't remember what mods I was using at this time, sorry
WOW>... finally an all inclusive look at alchemy. 😁
great video, I'm the 100th like, keep up the good work!
Thanks a million, really appreciate it, I didn't think people would like my alchemy videos at all 😀
The god-tier potion for any Two-Handed warrior or battle-mage is a bee, dragon tongue, and fly amanita. Gives you regen stamina, fortify two-handed, and resist fire all in one gulp.
HELP! Are there "Active Effects" that enhance Alchemy? Somehow I created a Smithing Potion +25% stronger than I can replicate. I wear all the gear as Enchanted as I can, and I cannot figure out how I did it?! I always sleep, and make sure I am not over encumbered. What are the Major Alchemy enchanted items in the game? Do they go past +25%?
The regular items go up to 25% frost, fire, etc up to 70. Light/heavy armor items up to 25 or 22 I think. Sneak,stamina etc, up to 40%
If you use potions and do the loop, you can make stronger, but in game enchanted items have a cap depending on what field it is.
Thank you for this. I like alchemy.
Blue mountain flower and wheat make Frt health and restore same potency as blue flower, imp stool and giant toe except very common ingredients.
respect for your work🙏 and gaming 😉
Hey mate, the helmet from :32
Where is that from? A mod?
I have the first original Skyrim. Takes forever about 6 human days real life to get the 3 alchemy level with all the gathering lucky i know 4secret chests
You sound like clavicus vile and i think thats fuckin dope
Very Good Job !
Perfect!👏🏽🤩
Well i was looking for a potion allowing me to see in dark,but nothing is show here so i'm very desappointed...
Watch the "Rare Curios" video
@@TiddlyOggy thank you i will 🙂
SUPERB!
That background music is too loud
At 3:27 I'm calling plagiarism from the last video I watched lol.
This video th-cam.com/video/qZ1ABc96Tv8/w-d-xo.html
No offense, your video is much more comprehensive. The beginning is nearly word for word...
@@user-ox6vc2zc3h Ha ha, I had no views or clues how to do these videos, so I tried to learn from creators that I like, this one was a bit close to the knuckle for sure, hence the video description... To be fair I wasn't expecting anyone to watch it, also the actual video content was more my style... But hey, everyone's a learner at some stage and I've moved on to my own style (though I still don't get many subs or views)
There's a skyrim alchemy phone app. Just get that
No recipe here
I'm still so confused lol
If i remember correctly wheat and blue mountain flower make a fortify health and restore health potion for much cheaper
Snowberries look so good they should be for cooking also! 😆🛞
