Alchemy Ingredients and Effects

Last Updated: Nov-06-2017 (improved checklists with Hearthfire ingredients and garden planting indicators).

Alchemy allows you to create potions that temporarily enhance skills, increase damage or restore health, stamina and magicka. Most ingredients are plentiful and can be picked up as you wander around Skyrim.

The PDFs and table below list the four effects for each ingredient. The Effect number corresponds to the order of effects in-game, as shown in the image below. Remember, you can always learn the first effect by eating the ingredient!

  1. Would be nice to have a list of all enchants including the shadow ones and blessing of mara that doesn’t work. As well as a list of shouts including DLC

  2. Missing ingredient: Salmon Roe. Obtained from jumping salmons only – look for them in waterfalls. Effects (in order from first to fourth): Restore Stamina, Waterbreathing, Fortify Magicka, Regenerate Magicka

  3. Hi Chris, it took a while, but the checklists and table have been updated with the Hearthfire ingredients: Salmon Roe and Hawk’s Egg. Thanks for the note.

  4. You are absolutely a godsend and a life saver for this list. I realized it would take me a decade and I owe you all my alchemy levels from here on!!

  5. Is there any way that this could get updated to include the ingredients from Rare Curious? I have the Creation downloaded and I love it, but it drives me crazy that my list from you doesn’t have these new additions! Thanks regardless, I love your work!

  6. Thank you so very much for the hard work and enormous time it took to make this list to share. Blessed Be.

  7. Thank you so much. I’ve been looking for physical guides because while skyrimalchemy is amazing, it requires reloading pages and sometimes the internet just doesn’t want to play ball. I would seriously pay good money for a nicely bound physical book with your pdfs (I *did* pay for the Stardew Valley fan-made book!); so thank you so much for making them printable (I can print them off and paste them into a nice notebook instead lol)

  8. Awesome list, but it would be even cooler if it had anniversary edition ingredients such as ones from Rare Curios. Also, a list that has the effects listed with all ingredients that have that effect would be really nice.
