DayDreamer 10:27, 23 February 2012 (UTC) Personally I do alchemy purely to either create restore health potions or to discover new effects. It seemed an especially good example, as all the ingredients discussed are in the immediate area, not needing to "scour Tamriel".It seems better to me having a playable example, rather than the pointers over on the effects page to external calculators that tell you the best combinations. As a first time player, the game mechanic (using the interface to substitute one element at a time viewing the resulting values) was not obvious to me, despite the urging of the NPC to try different combinations.Should it be in a "Hints" section? Or a Hints section on the alchemy effects page? Nephele Talk 06:59, 23 February 2012 (UTC) It seemed to me this was a good place to describe how best to test a recipe. Nevertheless, in case someone else thinks there is some other article on the site where this information may be more apporpriate, I'm leaving it here. Are readers really going to want to scour Tamriel just to find the specified ingredients, solely to use them to discover a full set of alchemy effects for some ingredients? I doubt it. The focus isn't even what potions would be useful to the player, but what combinations can be used to discover alchemy effects. I also think it's far too detailed to be of interest to most readers. I removed most of the previous chunk of text from the article because it doesn't even discuss an official recipe. Replacing Blisterwort and Spider Egg yields another quadruple effect potion (Blue Butterfly Wing + Blue Mountain Flower + Wheat = base value 443), revealing all effects of Blue Mountain Flower.Replacing Spider Egg and Wheat yields a quadruple effect potion (Blisterwort + Blue Butterfly Wing + Blue Mountain Flower = base value 404).Replacing Wheat with Blue Mountain Flower found along the way to Riverwood yields a triple effect potion (Blisterwort + Blue Mountain Flower + Spider Egg = base value 329).Replacing Spider Egg with Blue Butterfly Wing found along the way to Riverwood yields another dual effect poison (Blisterwort + Blue Butterfly Wing + Wheat = base value 42).This gives the earliest opportunity for a Multiple-Effect Potion (Blisterwort + Spider Egg + Wheat = base value 42). A Spider Egg recovered during the initial Unbound quest reveals the same 1st effect. Eating Blisterwort reveals the 1st effect is Damage Stamina. The greater benefit is this Blisterwort effect is 3rd.Thus, the recipe merely saves 1 Wheat in the early game. This effect for Wheat would be known after eating it. ![]() However, this combination is not the best use of Blisterwort and Wheat: If you ask Orgnar for permission to use the Alchemy Lab at the Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood, he will tell you that Wheat and Blisterwort create a Restore Health potion.
