How To Make Potions
Potions are made at alchemy tables. Look for them placed inside apothecary vendors, inns, and Jarl holds throughoutSkyrim.Once players own a house, they can speak to city stewards to purchase one for their home. Walk up to the table to use it. Ingredients are combined to make potions. Each ingredient contains four different properties. Combining two or three ingredients with the same property will create a potion with that effect. Some ingredients can cause harm to the Dragonborn so be careful. Eating and mixing ingredients will reveal these properties to the player. All ingredients can be found throughout the open world. Some can be bought from Apothecary vendors. Certain items are rare and do not appear in shops. Waiting until the next day cancycle the shop inventories.
