Walker1940 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I see that each ingredient has 4 possible effects. I don't understand how the number affects a potion. Potions are made with 2 or possibly 3 ingredients. Where does the 4th come into play? Does the order an ingredient is added to make a potion have an effect on the potion? Some potions, such as Fortify Marksman have no ingredient that has a # 1 effect. I can understand why potions have various effects. I just don't know why they are numbered. I've played Skyrim off and on since 2015 and still lost on Alchemy. Thanks for any assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkRudra Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 The order of the effects is irrelevant to making potions. It only comes into play when consuming the ingredient directly. There's a perk in the Alchemy skill tree that reveals an extra effect when an ingredient is eaten. That perk uses the order to relate an effect to each rank in the perk.
