Damage vs Drain Health poison?

thegreatme

This is probably a dumb question or whatever, but basically, need to complete an alchemy master writ, used the Alchemy Calculator, and I can get all the 3 traits I need, but it always becomes a Drain Health Poison IX instead of a Damage Health Poison IX. I assume they're not one and the same?

I need to make a Damage Health Poison IX with Ravage Health, Ravage Magicka, and Speed.
Blessed Thistle + Emetic Russula + Scrib Jelly
Or Blessed Thistle + Violet Coprinus + Scrib Jelly
give me the three traits I need and its a Health poison, but its a Drain instead of Damage. Does that matter? Or is it basically the same thing?

I've been trying every combination possible with the alchemy calculator for the last two hours but can't get a single 3-ingredient potion with the Damage name instead of Drain.

They are not the same ... use the positive (white) effect reagents on your poison. That should do the trick.

I use damage ones

Nirnroot
Nightshade
Spider egg

I believe one of those will work

The calculator is getting the names backwards, if you're using the one on UESP. Use reagents that have a ravage health effect to make a damage health poison. Use reagents that have a restore health effect to make a drain health poison.

Try using Sunshine Daydream's Guide to Alchemy: Master Writs. You should find the answer there

P.S. In this particular case, the solution is Alkahest + Blessed Thistle + Emetic Russula + Scrib Jelly.

Thanks. I figured it out. UESP's turns it into "Drain Health Poison" but in game its a Damage Health Poison. Hopefully they'll update that.

Summoning @Reorx_Holybeard just when there’s a free moment ... to update the UESP at their convenience.

Damage = Pair Reagents with the words Ravage in front.
