Most Valuable Potions

[TGW]

I've been making a ton of money making potions and thought it'd be a great idea to start a thread that will allow people to share their most valuable money making creations.

I've found that even when you purchase the ingredients, you can turn right back around and make a big profit off of them when you mix them up.

I'll get this started by adding a few. Keep in mind that the prices and potencies will vary based on your own perks, gear and skill level. The price I will list is the value of the item when I made it. The selling price will vary depending on your speech skill/perks/gear etc but is usually about half of the listed price in my experience.

At this time, I was wearing a +15% potency pendant while making these and my Alchemy Skill is 66. I'll come back and add more and even add yours to this post in order to make it easier for people to reference in one spot.

IMHO anything 200 plus is fairly valuable but feel free to list whatever you think was a good deal for you, without restriction and I'll put it in the list.

**Unless you state otherwise in your post, by default, I'll copy your formula into my list without putting your name with it. I'd like to keep it looking clean but give you full kudos and appreciation for your addition right now. Thank You! :)

[Markkus]

One of best (in my opinion) potions to farm money, is by far imp stool + swamp fungal pod + deathbell (options are aditional damage health ingredients. River betty is very good, but hard to get). While giant toe potions have higher price, Poison of paralysis (with restore and damage health in adition) is made of widely avalible ingredients. Imp stool is in most dungeons while swamp pods and deathbell can be gathered in bulk in Hjalmarsh (swampy area south of Soltitude).
With alchemy skill of 136 (Uncapper), all perks except 3rd experiemnter and purity and 4 pieces of 30% reinforce alchemy (with aditional boost from fortify restoration) i've managed to get potions with base price of whooping ~8500 septims.

 

[Belle]

Jarvis Root, Nightshade, and Deathbell, with perks. Man, that poison kills an Elder Dragon in a hit.

 

[Shade616]

histcarp+jazbay grape+salmon roe its worth about 1700 just at lvl 43 alchemy

 

[Markkus]

Belle, Jarrin [EDIT: Corrected typo Shade pointed out] root is a killer in it's own regard, but you only get one. In entire game. While Jarvis root poisons are killers, you can only make one, or two if having a perk and lucky.

Shade616. It is THE most valuble potion in game. However, for a real money maker, try to get bit simpler ingredients. Histcary and salmon roe require qite more work then S fungal pod/imp stoll/deathbell...particulary with green thumb, when you get two.
Also, with hearthfire, you can have bunch of imp stool/S fungal pods on your garden/greenhouse. Unfortunatly you cannot grow nirnroot. Oh well.

 

[Shade616]

forgive me if i come off rude but there is no such thing as Jarvis root its Jarrin root.

 

[Markkus]

Typo I guess. But since it's a most powerful damage health ingredient, i think we all know what it is refered to. Anyway, I corrected it just in case.

 

[hsmwrv]

Blue Butterfly Wing + Blue Mountain Flower + Giant's Toe

 

[squall]

Creep cluster + mora tapinella + scaly pholiota

 

[Billydavwy]

Does anyone have any potions that can be created from the ingredients in dawnguard/dragonborn?

I do know of a powerful poison I use on my Assassin. It has damage health and paralyze.

Human Flesh-Imp Stool-Slaughterfish Egg.

There's also another one that had a great DoT Damage and instant damage it was uhh.

Imp Stool-Deathbell-Mora Tapinella
You can also substitute Deathbell for River Betty I believe.
If I find out anymore I'll let you know. Anyone got potion recommendations for a 2h-heavy armor breton warrior on legendary difficulty?
