How To Make PotionsFortify Pickpocket Ingredients
Pickpocketing in Skyrim is an essential skill, especially for those planning to join the Thieves Guild. By taking on fishing jobs for the guild, players can easily earn a substantial amount of gold. It is important for fans to also master sneaking, as it complements the art of pickpocketing. To further enhance their pickpocketing abilities, players can utilize the skill of alchemy to create Potions of Fortify Pickpocket.
These potions provide a temporary boost to the pickpocketing skill, allowing players to successfully steal items with higher percentage chances. This particularly comes in handy when attempting to snag valuable gems from NPCs. Additionally, the potions can also be sold for a decent amount of gold. For a detailed guide on how to create the potion, including the necessary ingredients, continue reading in Skyrim.
How To Make Potions
Potions in Skyrim can be crafted at any Alchemy Table. These tables can be found at apothecary vendors, inns, and Jarl holds. Additionally, players can purchase and place their own alchemy tables in their Dragonborn's home. To acquire one, simply speak with the steward in a city where you own a home and inquire about purchasing decorations.
To create potions, players must combine two or three ingredients. Each ingredient has four different properties. When two ingredients with the same property are combined, a potion with the corresponding effect is produced. It is important to note that some ingredients can also result in negative effects. Experimenting with different combinations is key to crafting the ideal potion. Furthermore, each time items are combined, the alchemy skill of the player increases slightly. A higher alchemy skill leads to the creation of stronger potions.
All ingredients can be obtained by exploring Skyrim. They can be purchased at apothecaries, although certain ingredients may be rarer than others. To access a wider variety of ingredients, players can wait a few hours to allow store inventories to cycle.
