Skyrim includes a lot of different skills, but for this entertainment you will obviously spend more than one hour. About how to pump this skill, and about all its capabilities, we will tell in this review.

Without a pot nowhere

Any player needs at least a standard set of elixirs, restoring health or magic. Of course, such potions can be found in almost any location of the game. In addition, elixirs and poisons are happy to sell you all the merchants. But this is unlikely to be enough, because to find or buy potions can be completely in the amount that you need for passage, especially complex 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 his study should definitely do, because there are many other reasons for this.

The main advantages of the skill

First of all, it is an opportunity to improve one's 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 gives the player "Alchemy". Skyrim is a pretty dangerous place, and without healing potions the player will be difficult. Also, thanks to this skill, you can create a poison that will seriously increase the damage from your weapon. Having studied some of the properties of the ingredients, you can become invisible or learn to breathe underwater. List of main effects:

• Recovery, enhancement and regeneration of health, magic or reserve of forces.

• Non-acceptance of electricity.
• Resistance to cold.
• Invisibility.
• Water breathing.
• Damage to health, a stock of forces or magic.

All this will become possible thanks to the science of "Alchemy". The game Skyrim will also create potions that enhance all other skills: recovery, change, witchcraft, illusion, alchemy, enchantment, heavy and light armor, pocket theft, destruction and so on.

Mixing the ingredients together, you can create broths with several positive or negative properties, which greatly increases not only their strength, but also the cost. If you decide to thoroughly study this skill, then before you start learning, get a bonus from the stone "Magician". You can find it near the small town of Riverwood. Activating this guardian stone will increase the speed of learning the Alchemy skill by 20%. In addition, with this sign you will quickly pump all other types of magic: enchantment, destruction, restoration and so on.

What you need for alchemical studies

In order to do "Potions", first of all you will need a laboratory designed to work with such magical art as "Alchemy". Skyrim will provide you with a lot of similar equipment. Alchemical table you can find in every city, as well as in small settlements, in the 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, butterfly wings, as well as parts of animals and monsters. Find these components can be anywhere in the vast map: grass and flowers grow near roads and on glades, animals and fish in these parts too much, however, like fairy-tale creatures. In addition, find the ingredients can be 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", "Enchantment" - these are the skills that should immediately begin to learn and pump the beginner. After all, thanks to them you can earn not only experience, but also quite serious sums. And they will never be superfluous in the game Skyrim.

Alchemy: ingredients

The choice of such ingredients in the game really makes an impression. After all, to create potions here 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. Initially, only the simplest games will be available in the game, because they are more expensive and rare and cost an order of magnitude more, and getting them is much more difficult. But even for the study of the first ingredients you will spend a lot of time.

Each component includes four main effects. And if the first is easy to find out - you just need to eat the object, then the rest will have to suffer. In this case, the percussion "Experimenter" will help. This skill allows you to open more effects when eating items. If you do not want to spend experience points on it, there are several other 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, we can conclude about several effects of an ingredient. But it is much more exciting to conduct research on laboratory equipment. After all, here you will need to combine two or three components with the same effect, in order to get some potion. For example, the wing of the monarch and the blue mountain-skull possess the property of improving health. By combining these two elements, you will not only discover their effects, but create a potion that restores health.

Rare Elements

Of course, spending ordinary flowers or parts of animals that can be easily and quickly found is not as scary as rare ingredients like the saber-toot fang. Such elements not only rarely fall out, but also are very expensive. So do not waste it. The following are especially rare elements and their effects in the game Skyrim.

In this case, you can always buy from the merchant ingredients, create a lot of potions and pay for the exercise. Next, you will learn how to get a lot of gold in the game Skyrim with the help of "Potions".

Opportunities of Alchemy

In order to earn on this skill, you need to create more valuable and expensive potions. Very well, if by the time you decide to study it, the "Enchantment" skill will be mastered. After all, thanks to him, you can impose effects on clothes that increase the strength of the created potions. It is also necessary with every increase in the level to pump perk "Alchemist", which adds power to poisons and decoctions of your cooking. In addition, study the entire branch of skills, because all the effects will be difficult to pump, as you will have to spend experience points and other abilities in the game Skyrim. The "Alchemy" skill includes such perks:

• Healer - Increases the effects of potions of health, stamina and magic by 25%.
• The pharmacist - increase of positive effects by 25%.
• Poisoner - increase the strength of poisons by 25%.

• Paralysis.
• Slowdown.
• Damage to the speed of magic recovery.
• Invisibility.
• Increased weight.

In this case, it should be taken into account that the more effects contains a decoction or poison, the more expensive it can be sold in stores Skyrim. A potion of alchemy, containing both negative and positive effects, is cheaper, so keep this in mind while creating the decoctions. In addition, to create an expensive potion, you will need a certain set of ingredients. After all, elements with the same effects in different ways affect the cost of poison or healing elixir. And it is not necessary that the expensive ingredient will increase the price of the potion, since there is an indirect link.

In order for the deal to be profitable and the purchase quickly paid off, download the skill "Merchant" from the branch of the skill "Eloquence". In this case, the cost of acquisitions will decrease significantly, and your potions will grow a little in price.
