Potion crafting ingredients...

[XxpawnscrubsxX]

So I've unlocked torchbug thorax and purple mountain flower's 'benefit' of making poison and I can't produce a 'restore stamina' potion out of those 2 ingredients anymore...Is there any way for me to 'choose' the type of potion I make with those ingredients???....Need help a.s.a.p, because a long dead couple needs my help lmao...

Nope, unless there's a mod for it, you cannot choose the effect you want. Whether your character knows about an ingredient's effect has no bearing on the effect that a potion of it will have. So even if no effects were unlocked and you mix purple flower with torchbug, you'll get a potion/poison of restore stamina + damage x

Whenever 2 ingredients have a matching effect, you always make a potion/poison with that effect even if you didn't know that effect was a possibility. You don't get to choose individual effects.

Isnt there a skill down the line, in the alchemy tree that enables you to remove negative effects from potions, and one that removes positive effect from poison?

Edit: Its the last one. You need 100 alchemy to get that. :D

You still don't get to choose which effect it will have. The game will choose the most valuable effect to determine if it is a potion or poison, then removes the opposite effect.

You also don't get to choose whether or not to use the perk, so if you are using alchemy to make money you may end up with less valuable potions to selling, because they are missing some of the effects they would normally have.

Jus come to me, for Alc advice in future, Purple Mountain Flower+ Bee, makes Stam Restore, wid no other negative or positive benefits.

If ya looking to create a stamina drain, then Scathcraw is what u want.

potion crafting is not broken, so there is nothing to fix

Being able to make a potion worth far more than any merchant ever has, even an upgraded Thieves Guild fence with thousands of gold, is kind of broken. You don't even need any perks for it either. (Though that is the fault of a few ingredients, not the alchemy system as a whole.)
