How to Efficiently Find Effects for Alchemy

A guide on how to efficiently discover all effects of each ingredient without wasting everything.

Overview

The Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim ingredients. Each ingredient has the potential to blend 1776 times between other ingredients which amounts to around 90,000 times between all ingredients combined. I decided to calculate what ingredients combined best with others. This lets you see each ingredient and what other ingredients work best with the main ingredient you are interested in for both identifying the properties, and using it to make a potion to its full potential.

Example say you found a Blue Butterfly Wing then you combined Bone meal 1+2 and the Spriggan Sap 3+4 you learned all 4 properties on the Blue Butterfly Wing and the potion does all 4 abilities the Blue Butterfly Wing is capable of doing, helping you quickly learn all effects, this is what this guide is.

[Cheeky Trump]

I love alchemy in this game so much! I have this pretty much memorized since I've been doing it since 2011. But for some reason I cannot remember if "yellow mountain flowers" are from DLC or not. And i looked it up and now i owe 20$ to someone. Anyways if this is your first guide its always good to say if an item is from a DLC...Thats all I got to say rather than that +1 rate from me.
