Profitable Alchemy Recipes

This is just a list of alchemy recipes, made from ingredients you can purchase, for leveling and profit purposes.

Introduction

This list was created with an eye towards fast, sustainable leveling:
All recipes only contain ingredients which you can buy, and the most accessible (that is, consisting of fairly profitable and common ingredients) have been listed alongside the most profitable.

For the most part, these recipes attempt to make the best use of the ingredients involved--that is, I have avoided listing ingredients in certain combinations if they can be used in another recipe for more profit.

(The ultimate goal, of course, is to have zero perks in Alchemy, and use the Fortify Restoration / Enchanting loop instead to boost potions.)


Feel free to leave recipes for other accessible + profitable potions in the comments.

Simple List

====================

Generally speaking, save your Giant's Toes and Creep Clusters for these recipes:

• Giant's Toe + Blue Butterfly Wing + Blue Mountain Flower
  
• Giant's Toe + Creep Cluster + Wheat

These two are far and away the most profitable recipes for bought ingredients.

Potion List

The following screenshots were all taken at 15 Alchemy. Each table is labeled at the top with the primary alchemy effect and the two or so common ingredients which each of the entries share.

Same list as above, just different presentation.

Potion of Fortify Health	Giant's Toe Base
	+ Blue Butterfly Wing + Blue Mountain Flower
	+ Creep Cluster + Wheat

Potion of Invisibility
	+ Chaurus Eggs + Luna Moth Wing + Namira's Rot
	+ Luna Moth Wing + Vampire Dust + Garlic
	+ Charus Eggs + Luna Moth Wing + Vampire Dust

Note on Poison of Slow:

This table has a lot of redundancies. I've listed them all to maximize the options--many of these ingredients are quite common with the apothecaries. So the main limiting factor in the creation of this particular potion is probably going to be how frequently you get Deathbell in stock.

Poison of Slow	Deathbell + Salt Pile Base
	+ Jazbay Grapes
	+ Taproot
	+ Dwarven Oil
	+ Rock Warbler Egg
	+ Abecean Longfin
	+ Cyrodilic Spadetail
	+ River Betty
	+ Bee
	+ Bone Meal
	+ Bleeding Crown
	+ Giant Lichen
	+ Pine Thrush Egg

Note on Potion of Fortify Carry Weight:

Mora + Scaly does not produce Fortify Carry Weight--they produce Fortify Illusion and Regen Stamina. But Fortify Carry Weight is an alchemy effect of Scaly, and Carry has a high value, so the goal here is to take advantage of that with Hawk Beak or River Betty, which produce Carry.

Potion of Fortify Carry Weight	Mora Tapinella + Scaly Pholiota Base
	+ Hawk Beak
	+ River Betty

Poison of Slow	River Betty + Salt Pile Base
	+ Hawk Beak
	+ Garlic
	+ Nirnroot

Poison of Paralysis	Canis Root + Imp Stool Base
	Slaughter Fish Scales or Slaughter Fish Eggs (same result)

Poison of Damage Magicka Regen	Glow Dust + Hanging Moss Base
	+ Wheat
	+ Snowberries

Giant's Toe, Bear Claw and Hanging Moss makes a potion worth 602 gold at level 15 Alchemy.

I just tested it with a brand new character, spawned in the ingredients and teleported to Dragonsreach and made the potion.

Salmon roe,Histcarp,Wheat

[Theknifeguy27]

what are the cheat codes tho

[kira_archangel]

large antlers, salmon roe, and histcarp. at level 48 alchemy made me a 3000 gold potion.

[💜 Jonni]

Salmon roe is gathered from salmon that are leaping upstream in small waterfalls all over the map, but especially between Whiterun and Riverwood
It can also be farmed if you build a fish hatchery at Windstad Manor

[💜 Jonni]

Salmon roe, garlic and nordic barnacle
Salmon roe, histcarp and jazbay grapes

[Evelo]

Creep Cluster + Mora Tapinella + Scaly Pholiota is really good if you grow your own crops using a homemade place in the Hearthfire DLC Creep and Scaly harvest 5 per plant while Mora grows 3 per plant. Good way to level and easy money without the hassle of farming.

Also, River Betty + Salt Pile + Red Mountain Flower = Big Profit

[Mellorina]

Blisterwort + Blue Butterfly Wing + Blue Mountain Flower = A bit better than average profit.

๖ۣۜShadow XII: Ultimate Smithing, Enchanting and Alchemy ... think of it as a "User Guide" to this guide's "Cookbook".

It shows how to hit game-legal maximum crafting potential (weapons hit for 300-500 points per swing, 95% mana reduction, 95% immunity, 850 armor in all slots), then also shows all the exploits (which stats are MUCH higher).

sad bear is right though, if you do all the tricks it really breaks the game, so I highly recommend sticking to his recipies and the "normal" way of levelling and crafting. resto-chugging is really only good for when you need to powerlevel quickly.
