I can say in all honesty that i have never mixed a potion ever, and i am about to complete the game. It just looked to dull and long winded so i went out and hit things instead. I also found you can steal all the potions you want, so why make them?

Well, for one thing, it doesnt take long. Just slap down ingredients and press a button. And, there is a limited supply of potions you can steal, and you can't always get the one you need, when you need it.

I have a custom class warrior with currently level 100 in alchemy. I just buy like 1000 of two levitate ingredients. Then I drink like 30 at the time. Best transport ever. It's like having unlimited scrolls of windwalker (500 pt levitate and invisible for 1 min).
Even so, when you investigate several dungeons around the map then you will find several chests anc caches filled with all the potions you need. Then again i never got into using potions seriously, is that strange?

I think the need for potions depends on witch class you play as. A warrior problably have greater need of it since he cannot cast spells effeciently. I use potions all the time, they're easy to make and are very effecient when you have high level alchemy. Plus you can make a fortune of it. Lets say you buy two ingredients for healing that cost like 2gp. The you make a potion of it. Now it's worth between 50 and 150 gp.
Fair enough, i started off as a thief but am now high enough level (56) to be a great mage and warrior as well. I can heal myself, do some great offensive spells as well as backstab then fight in a normal fight. Its all great.

I haven't seen any sign that does that, but i haven't looked so much. Recipes for magicka is any two of: comberry, frost salts, daedra heart and maybe void salts, i don't remember exactly. Comberry is really cheap like 10 gp but frost salts cost 75 and daedra heart cost 200 so if you got a low alchemy skill it's really expensive to ma ke magicka potions.
Originally posted by SSRat On another note, does anyone know who sells a restore magicka spell?
Sorry, no such animal, unless you make one with the editor (assuming you're playing Morrowind on the PC). You'll just have to settle for restoring magicka the normal (absorption) way or through potions...
Sorry, man..nobody sells a Restore Magicka spell...It's been awhile since I've played Morrowind now, so I don't remember what your Alchemy skill should be to make the Restore Magicka potion, but the ingredients, as Oblivion stated, any two of:
Daedra's Heart, Frost Salts, Void Salts and Cornberry
If you don't mind cheating a little, you can use the editor to -create- a Restore Magicka spell, but it makes the game even easier than it is...
I was referring to your sign, The Atronach, when I mentioned -absorption-. It's part of your birthright (literally). You can absorb a percentage of spells (spell energy/magicka) cast at you. The old 'Summon Ancestral Ghost'...piss 'im off...absorb his spells to regen magicka...kill and soultrap in a common soulgem (for 4k) was the old way to cheese magicka regen for those with the Atronach sign.
If you can read all the effects of each ingredient, you don't need a recipe to make any potion. Just combine 2 ingredients that have the same effect & you have whatever you want. Can sell them for 100-200 gp also. (Some have negative effects also, but usually minor annoyance.)

If you are Role Playing as a knight, it wouldn't be realistic to go around stealing. And you get points in Alchemy(which makes you lvl up, if you have enough). If you are poor you can just go out and get yourself some plants to make a potion, which you can sell.
I call this "Swift Retribution", Call it what you will:
crab meat, corkbulbroot, netch leather, wickwheat
Restore Health, Cure Paralyzation, Lightning Shield
The great thing I've found about making potions is that you can make an incredibly powerfull nighteye, restore magic, whatever, and the ingredients are free. Just pick them up as you go about.
You can make a lot of things that are more powerfull and last longer than the scrolls.
I've made some really awesome ones.....but don't remember the ingredients. Just expirament.
