    i had this writ today, i completed it by creating poisons with the 3 effects, they were not order.

    I think the OP is looking for the reagents ... where the effects aren't required to be an any particular order.

    @Marcd23, I'm out of town and can't get into an alchemy table in-game. Try these two reagent combinations (with Alkahest) and see if either one works:
    Violet Corprinus - Lady's Smock - Water Hyacinth

    ~ or ~

    Violet Corprinus - Lady's Smock - Namira's Rot

    There appear to be several suggestions above. Which one is correct? I have tried Lady Smock+Violet Coprinus+Beetle Scutle; however it seems I don't have them in the right order. Can anyone help?

    Use Violet Coprinus, Lady's Smock and either Namira's Rot OR Water Hyacint, plus alkahest. The order of ingredients does not matter.

    The logic behind alchemy potions is to bring in the effect at least twice without counter-effect (like magicka vs. ravage magicka). Look at the tooltips of ingredients and select one if it has at least two of the effects.

    This particular potion comes up from following ingredients
    - Lady's Smock is first because it has all threee effects. This is a little different from normal 2+2+2 effects. That relaxes the requirement for last ingredient, but the second ingredient need still bring in two effects.
    - Violet Coprinus is only possible choice for second ingredient because no other brings in two effects. It gives Breach and Spell Power and now the two efects are fulfilled. Only Spell Crit is still missing.
    - Either Namira's Rot or Water Hyacint bring in Spell Critical
    - Use Alkahest to make a poison

    Now each effect is in twice in ingredients. Beetle Scuttle does have Breach but nothing else. That's why it's unsuitable.

    As a last check, put the ingredients into table and double-check that the name of the potion/poison really matches the quest.
