The question is how long does it take alchemy to respawn in the world? I don't think its a month, in saying that here is my issue.

I have been noticing that alchemy in areas has yet to respawn, I went to Honeyside last night to yet again test alchemy not respawning and I did not know exactly how long it would take alchemy to regrow, so I waited a month. Then I went out and along the road that runs into Markarth I seen plants that did not respawn dotted along the path and there was also clusters that did not respawn. Then threw the tundra lavender and the mountain flowers do not respawn in places in Whiterun there is lavender that has yet to respawn there in about twenty or forty real world hours if play time. I hope this is resolved.

Anybody?

This has been an annoying issue and bug I have been encountering.

I think you have to stay away from the area for about 10-14 days for ingredients to respawn.
I don't know whats up if your are staying away allready.

I'm assuming when you say "alchemy", you mean ingredients. In that case, all ingredients have different respawn times. But that shouldn't be a problem, because any ingredient that ins't crimson nirnroot is likely to be found in multiple locations.

I don't have a fix for your bug, but there's a suggestion

Yes to clarify I am referring to alchemy ingredients.

I was pretty sure most ingredients respawned every two weeks or so. I just had to ask to make sure.

Like I have said tho, I waited in Honeyside for a month and I traveled the land just to test the issue and there is areas I have remembered that have yet to respawn and random intervals along the road. I know there is multiple ingredients around but what if the non respawning gets worse, its irritating and I have no desire to walk around in a barren landscape similar to Fallout. I am this is addressed in a future patch.

what ingredients are you looking for, i know where a LOT of them are, i absolutely <3 alchemy,

I do too that is why its so disheartening to see my precious ingredients not respawning ever. It's not one type of ingredient that is not respawning its several. I know where I can find the ingredients I need but the plants are bugged.

ohhh, i see, i heard of ths glitch, this would aggravate me a lot, but i havent seen it yet....then again, i buy out every alchemy store I go to....all the time....each city has different ingredients, so if you need some that wont respond, try that....

Yes its a bothersome bug. It's in both of the saves I have on different characters. I also clear out the stores too, there is just something fun about foraging for your own ingredients, something I have loved since Morrowind. I hope they fix the bug so all plants respawn.

This is why having a garden as Archmage is so fun. It's just a patch of useless dirt for me now, and dirt is way too crunchy to be used in a potion. :/

I beg to differ. I can cook up a mean "choke on dirt" poison

I see what you did there.

Yeah my garden by Honeyside is completely useless only one plant there respawned. This needs to be fixed.
