Crafting » Alchemy Crafting

Alchemy is the process of making potions by mixing solvents and reagents to create potions and poisons.
An Alchemist gathers natural Reagents growing in the world, and mixes them with a water solvent at an Alchemy Table to create Potions. To do this, the Alchemist must find pools of water with special qualities that will yield the proper results when mixed. The grade of the solvent will determine the potency of the product.

Reagents
All Reagents have four traits that must be discovered by usage. Combining the same trait from two or three reagents in a potion will produce that effect, the potion’s magical quality. Many reagents have both positive and negative traits and a specific negative trait will “cancel out” the positive form of that trait.
A skilled Alchemist learns to experiment to find the combinations of reagents that will offer the best results.

Solvents 

Solvents are the liquid of the potion and determine the level, and therefore the strength, of the potion. You can spend Skill Points in a passive called Solvent Profiency which will allow you to use higher level solvents and create better potions/poisons.

Solvents can be found in various places around Tamriel from natural rivers and streams to shelves and nightstands. Water skins and bottles will normally contain solvents as well. If you notice a small splashing near a river bank it is likely that you can collect a solvent there. The level of the solvents found depends on the zone that it is found. Higher level solvents are found in higher level zones and lower level solvents in the lower level zones.
