I'm trying to complete an alchemy writ I've never made before - Create Drain Health Poison X - and I simply cannot find the ingredients to do it.
I can make DAMAGE health poisons X no prtoblem but not DRAIN. Anyone care to share the recipe please?
Thanks for that, the UESP Alchemy Calculator gives that as a Damage Health Poison instead of Drain Health.It's Columbine, Lady Smock and Mountain Flower, but with Alkahest instead of the Tears. I had to figure this out yesterday for myself too.. I wish they had have made us use the actual poison materials instead of more of the stuff we actually need for our more expensive potions or master writs.

From what I understand, as a general rule:
"Drain" = "Restore" poisons
"Damage" = "Ravage" poisons
So, AFAIK, it should be Alkahest + two of the following:
Drain Health: Blue Entoloma, Bugloss, Butterfly Wing, Columbine, Luminous Russula, Mountain Flower, Water Hyacinth
Drain Magicka: Bugloss, Columbine, Corn Flower, Lady's Smock
Drain Stamina: Blessed Thistle, Columbine, Dragonthorn, Mountain Flower
Damage Health: Blessed Thistle, Corn Flower, Emetic Russula, Nightshade, Nirnroot, Stinkhorn, Violet Coprinus
Damage Magicka: Blue Entoloma, Emetic Russula, Scrib Jelly, Violet Coprinus, White Cap
Damage Stamina: Emetic Russula, Fleshfly Larva, Imp Stool, Luminous Russula, Stinkhorn
Just check the name, of course, as if the two you pick share other traits, it will possibly name it after the other effect.
I'm on X1/NA and we're currently in Maintenance, so I can't test exactly which ones will work at the moment. I can update this when I can.
I do the writs every day using the following:
Drain Health Poison: Alkahest, Bugloss, Beetle Scuttle and Mountain Flower
Damage Stamina Poison IX: Alkahest, Fleshfly, Beetle Scuttle and Imp Stool
Damage Magicka Poison IX: Alkahest, Blue Entoma, Butterfly Wing, and Whitecap
Damage Health Poison IX: Alkahest, Emetic Russola, Fleshfly Larva and Nightshade
You don't need to always use three reagents, BTW. For example, you can make a Damage Stamina Poison with just (from memory) Fleshfly and Nightshade. If it's for a Master Writ and you need the three bonuses then fair enough, but for something simple like daily writs then two is enough.I do the writs every day using the following:
Drain Health Poison: Alkahest, Bugloss, Beetle Scuttle and Mountain Flower
Damage Stamina Poison IX: Alkahest, Fleshfly, Beetle Scuttle and Imp Stool
Damage Magicka Poison IX: Alkahest, Blue Entoma, Butterfly Wing, and Whitecap
Damage Health Poison IX: Alkahest, Emetic Russola, Fleshfly Larva and Nightshade
That seems to be correct.From what I understand, as a general rule:
"Drain" = "Restore" poisons
"Damage" = "Ravage" poisons
