Skyrim Anniversary Edition: A Guide to Alchemy in Skyrim!

Its hard to understate just how valuable alchemy is within Skyrim, a strong alchemy tree unlocks so many other doors within the game, whether it be making your overall character stronger, allowing you to challenge yourself on harder difficulties, or even just a way of making the experience more immersive, its an incredibly rich skill that every player should explore. So I wanted to pull this guide together to hopefully give newer players some guidance as to why you should brush up on your potion making. And if you’re a veteran of the game, you may still learn something new. Welcome to my alchemy guide to Skyrim!
