Thank you for all the hard work you put into this! Been playing Skyrim for years now and I always miss it when I\'ve been away too long. lol
Rock on baby!
Thx alot.
Awesome
w a h o o o o o o
Wanna wanna you made me feel like dancing thanks
Yea it good
Has this been updated? It seems there are more ingredients now.
Good
This is way too basic
Basic alchemy was just what I was looking for. Thank you!
Saved me a lot of time
starting a new playthrough of the game will be easier with this. thanks!
Comprehensive & to the point.
It would be great if you went the other way, and listed what each ingredient does, as well.
Very complete and easy to understand, thank you!
A real boon to find the alchemy info organized this way. Almost always, the alchemy ingredients are listed with their effects. Interesting, sure, but not especially helpful. The eXputer\'s alchemy guide does it backwards--listing the alchemical effects first and then giving the ingredients that be cooked up to give the effect. I copied the sections I can use; I suspect I\'ll learn (memorize) the material pretty easily now. So thank you very much. One suggestion if you ever work with this stuff again: Not all ingredients are of equal strength. Everybody knows that. But what\'s actually 10x more important for me when playing is how readily available the ingredients are. Consider making a Poison of Slow: Only 2 readily-found ingredients--salt and deathbell. All the rest are pretty darn rare. For my own list (like that\'ll ever get made), \"ingredients\" would mean stuff I can actually get my hands on. I might include a fine print section called \"exotics\" for the rest of the ingredients. OK, time to go, but thank you, again, for your help. :-)
Great help, thank you!
Just what I was looking for. thank you for taking the time to prepare and share.
Thx guys
Thanks for putting this together for us alchemists!
Thanks for helping me get started with Skyrim\'s Alchemy Lab! I appreciate the intel.
Will take time to digest :=)
Way easier to understand than most guides
Good Job Exputer!
What a great list! A lot of hard work went into this! Thank you!
