Potions (Skyrim)

Potions are consumable items in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim that give the Dragonborn various temporary effects. Potions can be brewed using ingredients using the Alchemy Skill.

Ingredients
Potions are made from ingredients found throughout Skyrim. They can be created by the trial and error mixing of ingredients. Alternately, eating an individual ingredient will allow you to learn one of its properties.

List of effects
Potions can have one or more effects depending on the ingredients used to brew them. The following is a table of all the effects that can exist in potions with the ingredients used to make that effect.


 * Using this table: The easiest way to make potions using this information is to find an effect you want then click on an ingredient you have from the list. From there you can see the other compatible ingredients and effects.

Popular multi-effect potion quick list

 * Probably the most created multipurpose potion (and less used) is made by combining the following Ingredients: Wheat + Giant's Toe + Creep Cluster or River Betty. It gives you a potion/poison with 3 effects and the single most expensive potion you can make. And as you skill Alchemy by creating money (the better the price, the faster you raise your skill). This is one of the best multipurpose potions there is, till you max out the Alchemy skill. The effects are the following: Damage Stamina Regen + Fortify Health + Fortify Carry Weight.
 * Another well-known multipurpose potion is the Creep Cluster + Large Antlers + River Betty. However, the ingredients for that recipe are more difficult to obtain than the one above. The effects are: Damage Stamina Regen + Fortify Carry Weight + Slow.


 * Restore Stamina, Restore Magicka, and Restore Health are the most commonly occurring effects on alchemical ingredients. Combining ingredients to produce multiple effects is therefore easier if one of said effects is of the restore variety.
