Mezu'uk's Guide to Alchemy in ESO

Phaoryx

Hello fellow alchemists. This is a simple guide that shows some of the best potions I've come across, as well as the reagents needed to craft them. I'd add a Poisons section, but as poisons are NYI, it'd be kind of useless. Also, any potions that had good effects but one negative effect were left out. Lets get started.

had any luck with nirnroot? i can't unlock any traits, fails with any pairing i try

Phaoryx

It only has one good trait, and that is invisibility. It's better to use Namira's Rot and Blue Entoloma. Here's Nirnroot though:

Ravage Health
Lower Spell Crit
Lower Weapon Crit
Invisibility
