Good potions for an Archer? : V

» Sat Dec 22, 2012 10:03 pm

Aside from the obvious Fortify Marksman, can anyone tell me what are some good potions/poisons for an Archer, what ingredients I need to make them and, if you can, where to get said ingredients?

I like playing Archer-Alchemist sometimes. It's a fun style. One problem I have sometimes is that the archery gets so strong, it overshadows the poisoner/alchemist part. You can control this by spending fewer perks on Archery damage and smithing, and/or turning up the difficulty setting.

Here are some of the poisons and potions that I like:

Spoiler

standard poison: damage health + lingering damage health.

I like paralysis poisons. paralysis+lingering damage health is powerful and fun to use. canis root + imp stool + mora tapinella. It feels good to paralyze a strong mage with your poison.

Speaking of Mages, sometimes I like using damage magicka regen poison against mages. It's fun to see them transform from a fearsome mage to a weak dagger wielding fighter with no armor.

I also like slow poisons. easy to make. makes the battle much easier for an archer. slow + damage health: salt + deathbell + red mountain flower, salt + river betty + red mountain flower.

You may also like some weakness poisons. poison of weakness to poison is nice. if you have enchanted weapons, poison of weakness to fire or ice is nice.

Poisons are not effective against draugrs and vampires.

Some useful potions I use are:

potion of invisibility = chaurus eggs + luna moth wing, luna moth wing + vampire dust
regenerate health + regenerate magicka = salt + garlic + juniper berries
regenerate stamina.
fortify health + restore health = wheat + blue mountain flower
fortify magicka + restore magicka = red mountain flower + tundra cotton + mora tapinella
