One of the coolest things about “Skyrim” was the variety of playstyles you could choose from. From the stealthy assassin to the one-handed wizard to the tank with a shield and sword, you could embody pretty much any type of character you could imagine.
This means that some skills were left out in certain playthroughs. If you were a smart assassin, you probably wouldn’t spend many points on the two-handed item skill tree, for example. But there is a detail in “Skyrim” that turned the feature into a true gold mine in the game.
What feature is this?
If you were curious to know, here it is. We are talking about the game’s potions. Potions in “Skyrim” need to be made with several ingredients that have the same effect.
You can learn the effects of ingredients by eating them or experimenting with them in the Alchemy Lab. You can also find potions throughout Skyrim or purchase them from vendors.
And the potions you create can also be sold, which is a good source of money. There is an underrated potion made with wheat, giant’s finger, and creeping cluster or River Bettys that is often sold for the best.
This is a quick way to make money as the ingredients are easy to find, but it also helps to increase your Alchemy skill.
The most expensive potion discovered in “Skyrim” so far is made with very common ingredients: Hist Carp, Jazbay Grapes and Salmon Roe.
This potion grants the ability to breathe underwater, increases magicka, regenerates magicka, and restores stamina. If you do everything right with the right perks, equipment, and fortifications, it can be worth over 10,000 Septims.
Another useful potion in Skyrim, especially for increasing your Alchemy skill, is a four-effect potion made with Flying Amanita, Dragon’s Tongue, and Scaly Foliot. It’s a great way to quickly gain XP in this skill, especially if you have the greenhouse and planting beds from the Hearthfire expansion.
In other words, “Skyrim” players have discovered a great way to earn money within the game and enjoy more benefits that it provides. So, in addition to increasing your skills, you can also make some extra money, as if it were your own gold mine.
So, did you already know about this feature?
