Skyrim potion recipes are a little hard to discover – you have to test out different ingredient combinations and hope that they work out. If they do, you can learn the effects of the different ingredients. But if the concoction doesn’t work, you lose these ingredients and gain nothing. Lucky for you, we’re here to help you unlock all those potions and poisons without wasting any materials: alchemy is a rewarding skill tree (especially for any stealth-based builds, and combined with pickpocket perks), but it’s a slow one, and difficult to master. This list should give you a headstart.
Once you’ve memorized all the different Skyrim potion and poison recipes, we’ve got Skyrim marriage, Skyrim enchanting, and Skyrim followers guides for even more lengthy details on Bethesda’s RPG.
Here we have it then, all the Skyrim potion recipes you need. Oh, and poisons too!
