There are 4 slots, single potion needs only 2 - what are the spare for?
Is it possible to make complex potions other way than mixing components with more than one common effect?
TIA,

Yes, it's possible to get multiple effects this way. Creative use of ingrediants will let you create some really powerful potions.

well, but what's the principle? In case of 2 components all is plain. Two pairs of independent components do not work, neither (at least for me) cross schemas (when one comonent is member of two pairs)?
TIA

Component A has:
Restore Fatigue, Restore Health
Component B has:
Restore Health
Component C has:
Lightning shield, Restore fatigue
Component D has: Lightning shield

Result: potion of Restore Fatigue, Restore Health and Lightning Shield.

Independent components and cross-scheme components do indeed work. I make them all the time.

Edited to add: you just can't put the same ingrediant in two or more slots. But if a property shows up on two or more ingredients in the four slots, it's included in the potions effects.

Cjdevito is correct. What you want to do is *chain effects.* If any two of the four ingredients contain the same effect, it will be added to the final mix.

Well, i put Ash Yam, Bloat - it shows "Fortify Intelligence". Now i add Wickwheat - it should add "Fortify Willpower", byt it doesn't show. Even if i add Scrib Jelly the only thing offered still is "Fortify Intelligence" Where am i wrong?

Nobody can explain rules?

i am thinking of trying alchemy, have such a good understanding of enchanting its getting boring...how do you achemetize???

to enchant yourself an item you cpick up soul gem and place on yourself...is same for alchemy???

you just need 1-4 items to start and a couple of components See Morrowind Alliance: Herb Index and Morrowind Alliance: Alchemy Basics - or any other site, there are several mentioned on this and other boards.

I figured this out eventually, but in doing it i ended up with about 30 restore fatigue potions, although mighty handy they are

Unless one goes on a mission that takes your character to varied locations it can be difficult to find vareid enough ingredients, any suggestions for stores of the better selections?

There's a store in Balmora with a nice selection of alchemical ingredients, but its prices are rather high. I personally prefer to steal herbs from crates, and pick 'em from trees and such during my travels.

Hey, it is either a bug or something, but "fortify attribute" effects don't go well with each other. I created potions with up to 3 different effects (ie. restore health, restore mana, and fortify magicka at the same time) , but I was never able to brew a potion with two simple fortify attribute effects.

Maybe a glitch.. I tried int+willpower similar to yours, but haven't tested it with other stats, ie. str+endurance. Maybe those work.

Boney

i noticed the exact same thing - fortify int+will don't mix well and neither does int+luck. haven't tried other combinations yet...

Now,

there're a couple of receipes

Fortify Agility+Fire Shield+Restore Fat.+Fortify Fat. =
Sload Soup+Fire Salts+Scuttle+Hound Meat

I tried to make Fort.Str.+Rest.Health, it usually worked, but there was an unexpected outcome, too, in quite different direction:
Restore Health+Fortify Luck+Fortify Magicka=
Corkbulb Root+Corpus Weepings+Saltrice+Emerald
