Skyrim:Potions

< Skyrim: Items(Redirected from Skyrim:Draught of Destruction)

You can use potions to produce magical effects that can strongly support advancing your goals. You can also sell unneeded potions to raise gold. Poisons are potions that produce damaging magical effects after striking with a poisoned weapon, or reverse Pickpocketing the poison onto a target.

The following tables list potions and poisons that you can buy, find, steal, or receive as rewards. When you possess at least one, potions will appear in the "Potions" section of your inventory screen. Some beverages that function more like potions than foods are also placed in this section of your inventory. Most of the items on this page are traded by apothecary merchants.

You can also brew hundreds of custom potions from ingredients you can obtain. The available custom effects are listed at Alchemy Effects, and some especially useful custom potions are listed at Useful Potions.

Potions

Standard Potions

These potions are available from the standard potion leveled lists; the level at which each first appears is provided in the table. These potions can be found in random loot or purchased from apothecary merchants. Like potions, you can also brew custom poisons from ingredients.

Other Leveled Poisons

These poisons do not appear in standard leveled lists, and therefore are typically not sold by merchants or found in generic random loot.

For some of the groups of poisons there are a limited number of places where randomly-generated bottles can be found:

  • Lingering Health Poisons:
    • Rulindil always carries one leveled lingering health poison
    • 5% chance of being dropped by Falmer; they may also carry 1 additional bottle (4% chance for shamans, 1% for others)
  • Lingering Stamina Poisons:
    • Gissur always carries one leveled lingering stamina poison

Most of the other poisons are found in specialized leveled lists, but those leveled lists are not used anywhere, making most of the poisons unavailable in game.

Bugs

  • Cure Poison potions cannot normally be bought or sold at apothecary merchants without unlocking the Merchant perk.
  • If you give a follower a Potion of Blood, they may consume it in the course of adventuring. This may result in a reduction of your level of bloodlust if you are a vampire, or your acquisition of vampiric powers and effects if you are not. If you are a werewolf when this happens, it may result in your becoming a vampire/werewolf hybrid.
  • If you consume a Potion of Blood as a werewolf or non-vampire, it can result in you acquiring vampirism as a werewolf without any of the normal warnings that appear on the console after infection with vampirism after three days of drinking it. ?
    • The solution if this happens is to have Serana bite you and fully convert you into a Vampire Lord then seek a cure from Fallion in Morthal and then visit Aela and ask her to reinfect you with lycanthropy (which she will only do once unless you return to a previous save).
  • Potions of Ultimate Stamina incorrectly use the model for a Philter of Vigor, unlike the Potion of Extreme Stamina, which uses the model it is supposed to have. ?
