All things Arcane and Alchemical

[natelovesyou]

Greetings again, I just wanted to bring this useful tool to everyone's attention. Mix and match, and share your discoveries! http://skyrim.iamnoah.com/

 

And to answer the question above, I do believe the the strength of the property is measured from 1-4, 4 being the strongest. So it is advisable to find a weaker 1st ingredient, and pair it with a great 2nd.

That site's cool and all...but it totally bugs me. I can't click on another ingredient to check it out too. I have to type the entire name and start over. It needs some work. Not to diminish its usefulness and the effort put into it...I like it, but I'll use UESP as well until it improves. But it sure shows promise.

Hello there, I am Noraius, or Nero for short, sometimes called "the Serpent", and I have dedicated my research in alchemy to finding makes-sense-applications for a particularly interesting piece of flora called the "crimson nirnroot", yet to find anything interesting though..

What is the location of this Crimson nirnroot, and are there multiples of it? I have yet to come across it. Has anyone else found a great combination for ice spells? I love the way the work, and would love to get something hand in hand with them.

The site is great ;) Don't want to spoil alchemy though, trying to discover for myself. Slow poisons are good fun, my rogue prefers the paralyzing variety. Warning: spoilers for those who like uncovering alchemical combinations themselves.

 

For a paralyzing poison I'd recommend Deathbell + Canis Root + Imp Stool combo ;) For something more potent but harder to find, I'd recommend Human Flesh + Imp Stool + Orange Dartwig (paralyzes, damages health, and poisons over time).

 

I think Namira's Rot and Blue Dragonfly give you a nice fear poison as well.

 

For rogue types, invisibility potions are pure win, and you can fortify your light armor at the same time (can't remember the combo off the top of my head though... For invisibility from more common ingredients, try Luna Moth + Chaurus Egg, there's also Vampire Dust and Ice Wraith Teeth).

 

Last night I also discovered you can mix your own potions to improve enchanting with Blue Butterfly Wings and Hargraven Claws.

 

Can't remember any others off the top of my head.

How does one acquire human flesh? I really love the paralyze+drain health combo, but Dartwig and flesh are hard to come by for me. Hell, even Canis root and Imp stool is hard to find.
