with certain effects. Initially, you will not know exactly what property this or that ingredient has, so you will have to recognize them by eating rather unpleasant substances, searching for clues in recipes, and also in laboratories by trial and error.
Some characters in the game world (usually alchemists) can tell you about new recipes during the dialogue. The Skyrim alchemy skill will be useful for the player, regardless of whether he is a warrior or a magician.
Usually, all characters require the same standard set: potions that heal health, restore mana and stamina, as well as poisons, which can be used to increase the damage dealt to enemies with conventional weapons. The more you improve this skill, the more you can understand the properties of some ingredients, so you can prepare potions that mimic the effects of most spells and enchantments. Although many potions can be purchased from merchants, knowledge of alchemy will still not be superfluous, because by carefully studying it, you can brew much more powerful potions than those sold in the store.
Do Alchemy in Skyrim
you can only in special places - alchemical laboratories. To make a potion or poison, you need to combine at least two elements (or more) that have the same magical effects. In the event that their properties are positive (for example, healing life), you will get a potion, if the properties are negative (for example, causing a certain amount of damage), you will make a poison.
If the ingredients you mix have more than one effect, then the created potion will contain multiple effects.
Each element has four effects in total. If your character eats it, then its first property becomes available, and obtaining the Experimenter perk will make it possible to determine other properties when eating the ingredient (the number of characteristics discovered depends on the rank of the perk).
In addition to eating, the effects can be revealed by discovering alchemy recipes in Skyrim and during experiments in which a potion will be created after combining certain elements. When you select one ingredient, all others that you have tried to pair it with but have not been successful will be grayed out.
Unlike the previous part of the TES series, in Skyrim, the level of your hero's alchemy does not affect which effects can be detected and applied in a row.
The strength of the potion or poison you craft is affected by both skill level and alchemy perks, as well as the increase in skill by equipping enchanted items. An increase in the skill of alchemy occurs with the practice of mixing potions and poisons. Potions can be crafted by following the alchemy potion recipes found in Skyrim and simply combining various elements in a random order.
On top of that, if you have developed mindfulness, then, looking around, you will notice something in common in certain ingredients (for example, plants growing close to each other: purple ermine and thistle, lavender and red ermine, as well as insects that pollinate them). We also advise you to pay attention to the fact that ingredients located in kitchens, shops and laboratories next to each other, as a rule, are combined.
The addition of experience while practicing alchemy is curled from the price of the manufactured potion (the more expensive you create the potion, the more experience you get there). Also, the amount of experience gained is well affected by an increase in the skill of equipping enchanted items (the maximum you can put on your hero is an amulet, gloves, a ring and a headdress). Thus, an increase of 100% to alchemy will allow you to get twice as much experience as usual.
Therefore, it will be more useful to first pump the enchantment skill, and then carry out the pumping of Skyrim alchemy
and take the perks Healer, Poisoner and Pharmacist. The most expensive effects are paralysis, invisibility, slow, and magic damage. Also, potions that have more than one effect are more valuable than potions that have one, even expensive, effect.
It is worth considering the factor that certain special elements can be used to make potions with similar abilities, but with increased power and cost. For example, if you make a healing potion from a giant's finger, it will cost 5.9 times more than regular potions, which makes it more expensive than the potion of paralysis.
Boil a deadly poison, become invisible, create a healing potion - all this and much more will allow the Alchemy skill. Skyrim includes a lot of different skills, but you will definitely spend more than one hour behind this entertainment. We will tell you about how to pump and about all its features in this review.
No potion anywhere
Any player desperately needs at least a standard set of elixirs that restore health or magic. Of course, such potions can be found in almost any location in the game. In addition, all merchants will gladly sell you elixirs and poisons. But this is hardly enough, because you can find or buy potions in completely different quantities that you need to complete, especially difficult missions and quests. Any strong opponent can kill you in a few minutes if you do not restore health in time. So "Alchemy" is one of the most useful skills that are present in the game. And you should definitely study it, because there are many other reasons for this.
The main advantages of the skill
First of all, this is an opportunity to increase your health or parameters of strength, endurance, impact, and the like. In addition, thanks to this skill, you can quickly earn a lot of money. And this is not all the possibilities that Alchemy gives the player. Skyrim is a rather dangerous place, and without healing potions it will be difficult for the player. Also, thanks to this skill, you can create a poison that will seriously increase the damage of your weapons. By studying some of the properties of the ingredients, you can become invisible or learn how to breathe underwater. List of main effects:
- Restoration, increase and regeneration of health, magic or stamina.
- Fire resistance.
- Rejection of electricity.
- Cold resistance.
- Invisibility.
- Water breathing.
- Damage to health, stamina, or magic.
- Paralysis.
- Healing diseases.
- Increased carry weight.
All this will be possible thanks to the science of "Alchemy". Skyrim also allows you to create potions that increase all other skills: restoration, change, witchcraft, illusion, alchemy, enchantment, heavy and light armor, pickpocketing, destruction, and so on.
By mixing the ingredients together, you can create decoctions with several positive or negative properties, which greatly increases not only their strength, but also their cost. If you decide to thoroughly study this skill, then before you start learning, you will receive a bonus from the "Mage" stone. You can find it near the town of Riverwood. Activating this Guardian Stone will increase the learning rate of the Alchemy skill by 20%. In addition, with this sign you will quickly pump over all other types of magic: enchantment, destruction, restoration, and so on.
What is needed for alchemical studies
In order to do potions, you will first need a laboratory designed to work with magical arts such as Alchemy. Skyrim will provide you with a lot of such equipment. You can find an alchemy table in every city, as well as in small settlements, in shops of herbalists or magicians. In addition, such devices are found in quest locations, including dungeons and caves.
In order to create potions and poisons, in addition to the table, you will need ingredients, which include plants, as well as parts of animals and monsters. You can find these components anywhere on a vast map: herbs and flowers grow near roads and in glades, there are also a lot of animals and fish in these parts, however, as well as fabulous creatures. In addition, ingredients can be found in chests or on the corpses of defeated enemies. But the easiest way is to buy from merchants and herbalists, and you will always find such characters in the open spaces of Skyrim. "Alchemy", "Enchanting" - these are the skills that you should immediately start learning and pumping for a beginner. After all, thanks to them, you can earn not only experience, but also quite serious amounts. And they will never be redundant in the game Skyrim.
Alchemy: Ingredients
The choice of these ingredients in the game is really impressive. After all, to create potions there are about a hundred different parts of plants or animals. And sooner or later you will want to know all the effects of these elements. At first, only the simplest ones will be available in the game, because the more expensive and rare ones cost an order of magnitude more, and it is much more difficult to get them. But even studying the first ingredients, you will spend a lot of time.
Each component includes four main effects. And if the first one is easy to find out - you just need to eat the item, then you will have to suffer with the rest. In this case, pumping the “Experimenter” perk will help. This skill makes it possible to unlock more effects when eating elements. If you do not want to spend experience points on it, then there are several more ways to learn about the properties of the ingredients of the Alchemy skill:
- Recipes.
- Work at the alchemy table.
You can buy recipes from any herbalist or bookseller. From these records, several effects of a given ingredient can be inferred. But it is much more exciting to conduct research behind laboratory equipment. After all, here you will need to combine two or three components with the same effect in order to get any potion. For example, the monarch's wing and the blue mountain flower have the health boost property. By combining these two elements, you will not only unlock their effects, but also create a potion that restores health.
Rare items
Of course, spending ordinary flowers or animal parts that can be easily and quickly found is not as scary as rare ingredients such as saber fang. Such elements not only rarely fall out, but are also very expensive. So don't waste them. The following are extremely rare items and their effects in Skyrim. Alchemy table (rare ingredients):

Here, perhaps, are all the rare ingredients that will be needed to learn the Alchemy skill. You can create potion recipes yourself, knowing these basic parameters.
Upgrading the skill
There are several ways to increase the rank of this skill in Skyrim. How to pump "Alchemy"? First of all, you need to constantly deal with it, because the level of this skill grows from the creation of potions and poisons. At the same time, the more successful the experiment, the more experience you get for creating such a “broth”.
In addition, strong potions are more expensive, so you will earn a lot of gold selling them, which will be useful to you in the passage of the game Skyrim. How to pump "Alchemy" quickly? In some locations you can find books, reading which will add experience to this skill. List of publications:
- "Dinner Game"
- "Song of the Alchemists".
- "Mannimarco, King of Hearts".
- "De Rerum Dirennis".
- Skyrim Plant Guide.
These books can be found anywhere in the game, including character homes, chests and stashes in caves, or bookshelves in castles. In general, do not be lazy to scour the surroundings in search of these useful items. In addition, you can increase this skill by completing special quests in Skyrim, "Otherworldly Alchemy" is one of them. Completing this quest will increase your proficiency in this skill impressively.
Teaching is light
Increasing the skill "Alchemy" (Skyrim) is also possible when buying knowledge from teachers. There are several of them:
- Lami is a character living in Morthal.
- Arcadia is an alchemist from the city of Whiterun.
- Babette is a character from the Dark Brotherhood faction.
Such lessons are not cheap, but they quickly pay off. After all, the higher the skill, the stronger and more expensive the potions. At the same time, you can always buy ingredients from a merchant, create a lot of potions and use them to pay for the exercise. Next, you will learn how to get a lot of gold with the help of "potions" in Skyrim.
Possibilities of "Alchemy"
In order to earn on this skill, it is necessary to create more valuable and expensive potions. It is very good if by the time you decide to study it, the Enchantment skill has already been mastered. After all, thanks to him, you can impose effects on clothes that increase the power of the created potions. It is also necessary with each level increase to pump the Alchemist perk, which adds power to the poisons and decoctions of your preparation. In addition, study the entire skill tree, because it will be quite difficult to pump all the effects, since you will have to spend experience points on other abilities in the Skyrim game. The Alchemy skill includes the following perks:
- Healer - increase the effects of health, stamina and magic potions by 25%.
- Pharmacist - increase positive effects by 25%.
- Poisoner - increase the strength of poisons by 25%.
So decide what exactly you want to craft and spend skill points on this perk.
Making Expensive Potions
Not all poisons and decoctions can be sold profitably, but some of them will bring considerable income, which you can count on when learning the Alchemy skill (Skyrim). Recipes are expensive:
- Paralysis.
- slowdown.
- Magic recovery speed damage.
- Invisibility.
- Increased carry weight.
It should be borne in mind that the more effects a decoction or poison contains, the more expensive it can be sold in Skyrim stores. An alchemy potion that contains both negative and positive effects is cheaper, so keep this in mind when creating decoctions. In addition, to create an expensive potion, you will need a certain set of ingredients. After all, elements with the same effects affect the cost of a poison or a healing elixir in different ways. And it is not necessary that an expensive ingredient will increase the price of the potion, since there is an indirect relationship here.
The most expensive elixirs and poisons:
- Bear claws, bearded moss, giant's finger.
- Giant's finger, blue mountain flower, blue butterfly wing.
- Creeping vine, wheat, giant's finger.
- A fierce mushroom, a human heart, a brazier root.
- giant's finger, juniper berries.
- Glowing dust, glowing moss.
- Scale, creeping vine, mora tapinella.
- Fire salt, snow berries,
- Lunar moth wing, vampire dust, hawk feathers.
- Saber eye, bearded moss, bear claws.
- Vampire dust, honeycomb, moon moth wing.
- Garlic, salt, poison bell.
How to increase profits from selling potions
First of all, you will need the ingredients in order to earn on the Alchemy skill. Skyrim is a huge game, and you can certainly find quite a few elements needed for potions. But it will take a lot of time, so it's better to buy ingredients from merchants. In order for the deal to be profitable and the purchase to pay off quickly, pump the “Merchant” skill from the “Eloquence” skill branch. In this case, the cost of acquisitions will decrease significantly, and your potions will increase slightly in price. In addition, without leveling this perk, it will be impossible to find some rare ingredients in stores. For example, they will become available only when taking this skill.
Elixirs that increase the Eloquence skill will also help to earn some extra money, only they should not be sold, but drunk before the deal. Then the prices will become much better, and buying ingredients or taking lessons will not hit your pocket hard. An ideal place to sell would be the thieves' den in Riften "Rampant Flask", of course, if you have completed the quest line for this guild. Then a merchant will appear there, in whose pockets 4000 coins will always be present. In addition, the seller has a huge selection of ingredients, and there is an alchemy table nearby. So you can easily and quickly convert his gold into your potions.
Cheats and codes
It's no secret that Skyrim has commands that allow you to get everything at once. Of course, this way of leveling skills or extracting valuable resources is not considered particularly "fair", and many players avoid using codes and cheats in their game. But if you want to quickly level up the Alchemy skill without bothering to create potions, then this method will be the best option for you. In order to use it, you first need to set the default English keyboard layout and open the console. This can be done using the "~" key. Next, in the line that opens, you need to write the following command: Player.SetAV Alchemy 100. This cheat will allow you to immediately learn the skill to the hundredth level, but does not activate all the perks - you have to do it yourself.
Let's start with alchemy, and for this reason: in the game, the buildup of this skill seemed to me the most expensive due to a number of factors.
1. The first and main factor - You can’t pump much skill with simple potions.
With simple potions, you can pump the skill for a very long time, since in the mechanics of the game, leveling a skill does not depend on quantity, but on quality. Let's say the ability to wear heavy or light armor does not depend on how many times you were kicked, but how much damage this blow inflicted on you.

Another omission in the game is that side effects- unnecessary alchemical effects only increase the cost of the potion. Although, logically, a poison that simultaneously deals damage and heals it is complete nonsense, but this nonsense will cost more than a poison that deals damage and takes away magic, for example.
I think you will immediately see that complex potions are much more expensive than simple potions.
Since the leveling of alchemy directly depends on the quality of the potions, I will immediately answer your question:
Yes, if you put on things for a bonus to the creation of potions, then the cost of the created potions will increase greatly, but, alas, this will hardly affect the leveling of the skill.
Here is the cost of the crafted potion without items that give a bonus to the power of crafted potions.

And here is the cost of the created potion brewed in things that give a bonus to the strength of the created potions.

Mastercraft guide. 2. The second factor, following from the first - to create complex potions, you need to have a lot of different ingredients available.
Therefore, we corny accumulate all the fly agarics that we collect, all the fingers of the giants, all the eggs. We save everything, everything that can be collected, stolen, bought! Yes, buy, so you need to earn sevenths. (Fortunately, this is not a problem in Skyrim)
3. The third factor - with an increase in skill in Alchemy, pumping begins to slow down.
This is expressed as follows, if with an alchemy skill of 25 you make a potion - Magic Regeneration (Salt + Garlic) and you need to make 10 cans to raise from 25 to 26, then to raise from 30 to 31 you already make 13 cans.
In view of what I downloaded alchemy in three steps:
From 1 to 40, you can pump through the creation of simple potions.
From 40 to 70-80 he studied the mind of the mind from Arcadia, in Whiterun. In parallel, he collected, bought, stole tons of ingredients.
Where all the teachers of alchemy live, I don’t remember, and it’s not necessary, just look here.
From 80 to 100 he pumped exclusively by creating complex poisons and potions.
Hint for Munchkin sufferers
If you started the game again and suffer from munchkinism, then go immediately to the second or third level in Whiterun. Kill the dragon, collect and sell all the trash that has become "white", because the Jarl has become generous. Now you can take out 90% of the junk from Whiterun and sell it. Having acquired septims, every LVL AP do not forget to learn alchemy, so, without leaving the cash register, you can raise the skill to 70 and at the same time upgrade the hero to level 20. (of course, if you have money, or if you use a hole, to return "septims" after training)
Who does not "fumble" in alchemy, I will conduct a master class.
Let's all look here
I'll show you with an example what's what.
We look at what we have in inventory and select an ingredient, say dragon tongue. Select the property you like from the table - fire resistance And Skill Upgrade: Two-Handed Weapons.
Now we are looking for an ingredient that has these properties, plus some other positive properties. (can be negative) Let it be fly agaric- Our potion will have two properties. Now we need to add such an ingredient in order to "open" a couple more properties for the potion. Let's see what fly agaric has properties? - This Rabies And Stamina Regeneration.
Alchemist 5/5(Potions and potions are 20% stronger (+20% for each additional ability level) - well, a good potion is a strong potion.
Healer(Your potions that restore health, magicka or stamina are 25% more effective) - a passable ability to take the next ability.
Pharmacist(You can create potions that will have 25% more favorable effect)
As you can see, I took only the most necessary abilities to enhance the potions I received.
As the famous Walter White said, "Alchemy is the queen of all sciences." We will not refute this statement: in Black Desert, alchemy plays, if not a key, then an essential role.
On the alchemy table with a pumped skill, you can make potions for all occasions: improving combat skills, giving buffs when engaging in peaceful professions, increasing movement speed, jump height, the amount of experience gained by a character or mount, and changing many other parameters. And although the increase in characteristics is short-lived, expensive potions, in terms of the magnitude of the advantage acquired, easily outperform any dishes prepared using cooking.
Fast leveling alchemy
Near the location of the Line of the Dead from the side of the Bear Village, namely, not far from the NPC named Becker, a poisonous flycatcher is found in large quantities - a plant, the ingredients from which we will use for the first alchemical experiments. A beginner alchemist knows almost nothing, except for the distillation of healing tinctures and juice from cereals, but the development of professional skills in this way is extremely slow. Even beginners have access to a simple recipe that can help them rise to the rank of Apprentice. You will need carnivorous plant powder, which is obtained from a flycatcher using a hoe.
Another necessary ingredient is the dust of darkness. It drops randomly when swotting iron and lead deposits with a pickaxe. But if you decide to do alchemy "in an adult way", many components of potions and elixirs will be required on an industrial scale. You will have to become a slave owner: hire laborers, and having laid a route to the node of interest, send them to extract resources. Dark Dust is a by-product supplied by workers from iron ore nodes.
An alchemy table is required for making potions and other activities. The simplest and cheapest can be bought in any city from an NPC alichemist. A table is installed in the house, which is rented for influence points. When converting one portion of carnivorous plant powder and one portion of dust of darkness, we will receive a random amount of vegetable gunpowder (depending on the profession level) - a component for crafting bombs used in sieges of nodes and territories. If you are not a member of a guild, not engaged in crafting, or your guild is not engaged in hostilities, bring gunpowder to the auction: this is how alchemy will bring the first income.
Not a bug, but a feature!
Any reputable alchemist's tool kit will certainly include a syringe used to extract animal blood and tree sap. It is on the blood that our interest will be focused when, having made a sufficient amount of vegetable gunpowder, we will pump the alchemy skill to the level of "Apprentice". Please note: the blood of many animals is rare at the auction, so most likely you will have to get it yourself. At the same level, the manufacture of many essences and potions becomes available, but the fastest way to level a profession is to prepare the tinctures described below.
The Black Desert alchemy recipes that can be found on the Internet have one drawback: an overestimated amount of ingredients. No, of course, and something useful can be prepared from the indicated amount, but the thrifty alchemist has all the components in the account. It has been experimentally established that when using these recipes, the consumption of ingredients is reduced significantly:
Divine Blood: Magic Leaf, Earth Powder, Powder Reagent, Cold Blood (lizard, bat, worm, or yellow beak);
Tyrant's Blood: Monk Branch, Barbarian Powder, Reagent Powder, Giant Blood (Bear, Troll, Ogre, or Dinosaur);
Fool's Blood: Magic Leaf, Darkness Powder, Liquid Reagent, Dark Blood (wolf, flamingo, wasteland dragon, or buffalo);
Sinner's blood: bloody tree knot, fire dust, liquid reagent, brown blood (deer, sheep, waragon, pig or bison);
Sage's Blood: Monk Branch, Repair Powder, Liquid Reagent, Animal Blood (Fox, Ferret, Raccoon or Monkey).
Important! All components, except animal blood, should be used in one part (rather than two parts, as indicated in most recipes). Use animal blood in two parts, not five.
Alchemy Stones
Having received the level of "Professional", you can start the production of alchemy stones, which give short-term buffs when used. There are 3 types in total:
Stone of Life: Increased Crafting, Cooking, Alchemy, Carrying Capacity, Fishing and Gathering Level, Luck;
Protection Stone: Damage reduction, increased defense, resistance, maximum health;
Stone of Destruction: (increases attack power, accuracy, attack speed and skill casting, ignoring resistances.
To make one alchemy stone, you will need 10 parts of the following components:
Liquid reagent;
Powder reagent;
The blood of a sinner;
The dust of centuries;
Shiny powder.
The dust of centuries is a by-product of lead ore mining. Shining Powder is one of the wastes that the alchemist obtains during the mass production of potions (by the way, it is very rare, unlike other slag).
Any alchemy stone has 8 levels of improvement (from imperfect to shining) and 4 levels of quality, like many items in the game (gray, green, blue and gold). The level of improvement can be increased by grinding, while in the process the quality level can also be improved randomly. The level of enhancement of the used alchemy stone affects the amount of increase in parameters, and the quality affects the amount of buffed characteristics. So the best stone is
shining, golden quality. Due to the strength and magnitude of the applied buffs, the cost of such a “charm” at the auction is from hundreds of millions of silver.
Grinding
In order to increase the level of improvement of the stone, it will have to be polished. For this are used:
Stone of life - selected vegetables, fruits and mushrooms;
Protection stone - strong boards;
Destruction stone - pure ingots of metals.
After polishing the stone by 100% (and preferably up to 150%), you can try to strengthen it with the help of the Black Stone (weapon).
Strong boards are obtained by heating plywood and wood hardener using the crafting menu (L button), pure metal ingots are obtained by heating metal ingots and metal solvent. They are also used by crafters in the production of many valuable items. Strong boards are expensive and clean ingots are expensive, but the hardener and solvent are easily boiled on the alchemy table, so almost all crafters are also alchemists.
When using an alchemy stone (U button, if it is equipped in the appropriate slot), its durability is reduced. You can charge the stone by pouring oil, which is produced by alchemists. Like the blood of a jester or a tyrant, when making butter, you can save on ingredients: one part of each is enough, empirically proven. We will not give recipes: any alchemist in the process of learning and completing quests for a profession will learn them on his own. We are alchemists, right?
Skyrim (the sequel to the legendary Oblivion series) features a world of adventure filled with combat, exploration, and magic. The ability to make a variety of potions and potions will come to the aid in the craft of a dragon slayer.
The player is given the opportunity to develop his character in the alchemical business. By getting the next level in the talent trees, skill points can be obtained not only by improving combat skills, but also by pumping alchemy. Asking yourself how to quickly pump alchemy in skyrim? This is possible if you follow certain rules.
You can quickly improve your skill, but only using cheats. In this case, in the console, you need to increase the level of Dovakin, and use skill points for the desired section.
As you progress through the game, you can start brewing potions already in Whiterun. Immediately after talking with the jarl, you will meet the court magician. In his room you can find the necessary equipment or go to local shops.
The unique skill leveling system will not provide a list of ready-made recipes; All ingredients must be mixed by yourself. Only then will you be able to develop the skill and gain new abilities.
Skill Leveling Principles
A large supply of herbs will help to create a large number of tinctures, due to the manufacture of which this skill increases. You will need absolutely all the supplies: fingers of giants, wings of moths, spider venom, fly agaric and buttercups. They can be found in caves, picked up from a dead enemy, or bought from a merchant.
Special books with alchemy can increase the skill, which can be found randomly throughout the location. How to quickly pump alchemy in skyrim? Quests that you can get by exploring the game world will help. When going for a certain ingredient, your mentors (who can be found in schools) will indicate a good place to collect components for potions.
A special set of clothes and accessories enchanted to increase alchemy will increase the existing skill by a certain number of units, as well as increase the cost of prepared potions.
Simple potions with multiple components will increase the level by a small percentage. To create a complex potion, you need many components, often rare, but the amount of experience gained will be much higher. The specificity of the classification of elixirs is that not all of them have a positive effect. Some of the potions can reduce skill, agility or the number of lives, but their cost is an order of magnitude higher than usual, as is the complexity of creation, which is responsible for experience.
It is important to correctly throw points into the talent tree.
The first link "Alchemist" is filled by 5/5 by default, without it the ability will not develop further. The "Healer" cell will help you create more effective potions for health. In the fight against different opponents, you need a transitional link. Pharmacist will allow you to create elixirs 25% better than the previous ones, which have the most positive effect.
As the skill grows, you will need to make more and more potions, so it's best to follow a similar plan:
1. You can upgrade a profession to a level from 1 to 40 on the simplest two-element potions.
2. To increase a skill from level 40 to level 80, you need to use more complex recipes from a large set of components. To develop skills, we ask for help from trainers, for example, from Arkady who lives in Whiterun.
