Ingredients (Oblivion)

For other uses, see Ingredients.

Notice the effects shown on the right, and that some are still unknown.

Ingredients are items that can be eaten or used with Alchemy apparatuses to make potions and poisons. There are 103 ingredients, not including some hidden and rare ingredients. Ingredients can be retrieved from plants, dead animals, or bought from vendors. Each ingredient has four effects; these may range from restorative, to damaging, to fortifying effects. The number of effects visible to the Hero depends on their alchemy skill. At 'Novice' level, only the first effect is visible to you. An 'Apprentice' sees two effects, a 'Journeyman' sees three, and an 'Expert' can see all four properties of an ingredient. The Hero needs to be able to see an effect to make a potion with that effect; potions cannot be made just by looking up effects in the table below. As an example, only an Expert or Master alchemist can make potions of Damage Fatigue using Alkanet Flowers.

Harvesting ingredients

Plants grow widely over all of Cyrodiil. When activated, the flora in Tamriel may yield an ingredient. Different plants have varying probabilities of successfully being harvested (typically 33%, 50% or 80%). Plants regrow after a given amount of time and can then be harvested again. The exception is Nirnroot, which has a 100% chance of being harvested and never regrows.

Terminology

• Absorb – Temporarily transfers a portion of the target's health, fatigue, magicka, attribute, or skill to the caster. Changes to health, magicka, and fatigue are permanent.
• Cure – Cures effects of disease, paralysis or poison.
• Damage – Lowers health, fatigue, magicka, attribute, or skill. Can only be restored with a Restore effect spell or potion
• Drain – Temporarily and gradually lowers health, fatigue, magicka, attribute, or skill for a duration of time
• Resist – Reduces shock, frost, fire, magicka, or normal-weapon damage, or reduces chance of being poisoned, paralyzed, or diseased.
• Shield offers protection from physical damage and adds to the casters armor rating.
• Restore – Returns health, fatigue, magicka, attribute, or skill back to normal level
• Fortify – Similar to Restore, but can increase the skill in question beyond the normal level
• Weakness – Decreases resistance to shock, frost, fire, magicka, or normal-weapon damage, or to disease, poison, and paralysis

Trivia

• Eating ingredients (known as wortcraft) improves alchemy skill.
• It is also possible to duplicate almost any ingredient with the enchanted chest in the Arch-Mages room. (This does not work for Nirnroot or ingredients from the Shivering Isles.)
