I honestly feel this should be dealt with becouse it is such an exploitation of the game.

here are the steps to creating a potion worth 10,000 gold+

enchant the following to fortify alchemy.

gloves

ring

hat

necklace

now equip the items.

create a potion of restoration, the ingrediants are as follows. abacean longfin, salt pile, cirodilic spadetail, pearl, small antlers.

drink the first potion.

your alchemy gear should be fortified even more.

so create one more potion.

drink it.

and repeat this until your potions are as strong as desired.

and complete the following until you have a restoration potion worth 200000000000+

now if u are wearing any kind of enchanted gear that fortifies anything it will be boosted drastically by drinking the potion.


NOW heres where the tricky part comes in. drink one potion of fortify restoration while the gear is equiped. now un-equip the gear exit all the menu's, then reequip the gear. now if u wait an hour and look under active effects you will notice the effects of the potion dont wear off until u un-equip the gear.

The Restoration potion is a pretty serious bug that I expect will be patched when they get around to that those type of fixes.

Hopefully it will be a really low priority. There are a million more important things to fix than exploits that we can simply choose to not use.

This is part of the 1.2 resistances bug. Half of your bonuses and potion boosts are applied in the wrong area or not applied at all. Just wait to 1.3 and it should be sorted out.

Wait a minute. Are you saying that drinking a specific restoration potion has the same effect as a Fortify Alchemy enchantment? Are you sure this restoration potion doesn't have multiple effects with one of them being a Fortify Alchemy effect?

I may be parsing words here but you can only restore Magicka, Health and Stamina so I don't understand how this is a restoration potion.

As I said buffs are screwey in 1.2 and get added for the wrong things or removed for no reason.

Who cares? Why would anyone use this when Enchanting without Alchemy alone makes for godmode Characters is beyond my imagination. Its a singeplayer Game, theres one thing trying to beat the game inside its Rules but using this, whats the Point?

For some reason Restoration Buff from Potions multiplies Bonuses from Enchanted Items.
