Unlock Infinite Inventory: Skyrim's Ultimate Fortify Carry Weight Potion Guide

Skyrim has maintained its popularity since its initial release due to its vast and expansive world. Players often desire the ability to quickly fast travel to areas they have already explored. However, the Dragonborn is hindered from fast traveling while carrying excess weight, which occurs when the combined weight of all items in their inventory exceeds the character's limit.

Without a horse to ride or a companion to whom items can be given, the Dragonborn is forced to trudge slowly to the nearest vendor. This is where a Fortify Carry Weight Potion becomes highly beneficial. By consuming one, the Dragonborn can temporarily increase their inventory space and regain the ability to fast travel. This guide provides a comprehensive list of all the necessary ingredients for crafting a useful potion in Skyrim.

Fortify Carry Weight Ingredients

You can purchase ingredients from Apothecaries across the continent. Make sure to visit stores regularly as their inventories change over time. Additionally, waiting outside the stores will cause them to restock. All ingredients can be obtained in the open world of Skyrim.

To find Creep Cluster, look for rust-colored roots growing on rocks in the Eastmarch region, particularly around Windhelm. There are 39 plants located near the Steamcrag Camp, which is south of Windhelm.

Content:

Giant's Toe - The Dragonborn can collect a single toe from each giant they defeat, which possesses significant value as potent alchemical ingredients. Giants can be encountered at various Giant Camps across the world, usually identified by mammoth icons on the map and compass. In Dawnstar's White Hall, specifically, three can be located.

Hawk Beak - Hawk Beaks can be obtained from deceased hawks, and the most effective method is shooting them down with a bow while they are soaring through the skies. Numerous hawks' nests can be found near the East Empire Company Warehouse close to Solitude.

River Betty - These fish are abundant in various rivers and lakes. Explore the waters near the Apprentice Stone, the Standing Stone located south of the East Empire Company Warehouse.

Scaly Pholiota - A fungus that thrives on trees in Skyrim's Rift region. Discover 17 specimens near the Darklight Tower, southwest of Riften. Additionally, Fellglow Keep, northeast of Whiterun, guarantees the discovery of four samples.

How to Make the Potion

Wisp Wrappings - Wisp wrappings are a rare ingredient that can be acquired by defeating wispmothers. These elusive creatures, known as wisps, are ethereal orbs of light that exhibit a passive nature until provoked. Wisps can be encountered in various locations throughout Skyrim, including the notorious Labyrinthian situated southeast of Morthal. Additionally, a handful of unique spots within Skyrim also house these radiant beings.

To create a potent potion, gather any two or more of the aforementioned ingredients and head to the alchemy table. These ingredients can be conveniently obtained from Apothecary Vendors or occasionally from esteemed Jarls. Players can even acquire these ingredients for their personal abodes. However, it is crucial to be cautious of the other effects each ingredient possesses. Although the potion may grant the Dragonborn an augmented Carry Weight, it may also have some adverse consequences. Therefore, it is advisable to experiment with various ingredient combinations to enhance both the alchemy skill and the potency of the Potion of Fortify Carry Weight.
