O.P. Alchemy

Sethro_27

Was just wondering from a few that have already started to play is making health potions and magicka potions gonna be the funny money or is it to difficult to tell?

I'll be playing for quality not the speed or nothing so wasn't sure if maybe alchemy was a little better then the others.

Colecting alchemy resources are slowest, and alchemy create consumables -so it looks that crafting potions should be a valid source of income at endgame
(its worth mentioning that only solvent change at each tier -all resources are the same at start and at end game)

It all depends on competition level in this craft -too much and prices hit the floor

I agree with @Kemono . Harvesting mets for potions is the slowest but it makes money on quality. And if you decide to go potion making you can be valuable in a guild. Money is earned to those who have great supply, end up empty and they will look else where.

Thanks for your input. I didn't think of influx. Thanks.

I've not started playing yet, but are the food items and the provisioned craftables similar to food items in other games? Do they augment stats or skills?

I only ask because if they do, I could see high quality food consumables being as profitable as potions and alchemy based items.

Do things that boost potion effectiveness (argonian racial, nightblade passive Catalyst, etc.) boost the effectiveness as I CREATE the potion, or does it make potions more effective when I DRINK the potions?

I believe it's when you drink it.

Not skills, just stats. +health/mana/stam and +health/mana/stam regen.

But keep in mind that while you can be a total kleptomaniac and pick up recipes and mats left and right, you'll need to expend skill points to make the higher level recipes as well as get more out of the recipes.

according to TF Alchemy and provisioning are the 2 highest paid professions, if this is true is yet to be validated IMO.

Provisioning is SO easy, I doubt it'll be profitable because anyone can do it... although, it may be for those people who don't want to go through the effort of looting everything that isn't nailed down.

You're obviously not going to join the ranks of us provisioners.... we bring hacksaws and crowbars, it could be welded down and we'd find a way to loot it, cook it, and cram it down your throats. We'll even loot the word food.

I've definitely provisioning (level 25 so far) but I just think that it seems SO easy that the only way you're going to make a profit is off the lazy people who don't want to do it That's all I mean.

Invisibility potion:
Whitecap
Nirnroot
Namira's Rot

Is this recipe correct?

Not sure if it is all the lazy people but the people that complain about bag space issues will not bother to deal with provisioning since it does require more room than other professions.

psychounz

That, too.

The secret to provisioning is the better recipes and the bonuses you stack on them. Sure everyone can make a cherry pie, but can they make a candied sugar pie with 50% more health!
