Anytips on how to go faster im pickin and stealing ingredients and eating them then making more potions just seems to be taking forever
Well you could gather every single plant/ingredient you come across and also barter in alchemy shops. There is a very efficient way to do this, especially if the vendor can train you (Whiterun is perfect). Make potions (try to go for the most expensive ones) and if the vendor runs out of money, train Alchemy. The money you spent training will go to their funds so you can barter a little more.
