Higher level potions: The point?

Arato

If I make a level 3 potion of invisibility, or speed, or weapon crit, vs a level 10 version of the same potion.. the tooltips of the potions are the same, is this correct that there is no difference between levels of those potions? Why wouldn't you make nothing but level 3 potions in that case?

level 10 vs 3 the effect stay longer like critical upgrade
and also the effect is bigger like Healing or restore magika...
try it pls..

The level 3 stuff is like a half tier, after 10 there is a pretty sizable difference in the tiers.

Arato

For invisibility, unstoppable, spell/weapon crit the effect is the same magnitude and the duration is the same lthug.

allanonusnub, so the level 20 or so pots will have longer duration for invis/speed/unstoppable/detect? and will they have higher magnitude on damage/crit pots?

Right now the only difference I notice in 3 vs 10 is healing/magicka/stamina pots.

Oh there's all sorts of cool stuff. You can make pots that give you extra spell power AND heal your magicka, or pots that give extra weapon damage AND heal stamina, pots that heal health and stam or health and magicka at the same time, pots of invisibility, detection, unstoppable (can't be CC'ed for 3s), speed , weapon crit, spell crit, increased armor, increased spell defense.

Only thing weird about alchemy is you can't use bad potions with negative effects as poisons for your weapons.. Why would I want to drink a potion of ravage health?

I was going to ask this same question actually. The health stam and magicka pots show a difference. But a lvl 1 invis pot and lvl 20 both so go invis for 3 seconds with a 30 sec cool down. No obvious difference in the tool tip. Same for spell crit, weapons crit

Poison is not yet implemented but is supposed to be available soon.
