    Yeah, that's my pet hate of Alchemists... Having to reset a merchant's gold for every salmon roe potion. Then it gets to the point when they don't even have enough for one, and that's a real pain. Guess I'll have to check out the Workshop, joined a while ago and didn't really take part in much. That should change soon! Looking forward to that Progenitor revamp, that has a load of potential and is already brilliant. Maybe throw in some more Skaal lore? There's quite a lot of untouched stuff, and I loved reading all the books about it when making the Skaal Crusader.

    Great build! I liked the old one, but this is even better!

    I usually just dump all my potions in a random barrel once I have enough money to pay for my house, furnishings, and any training and equipment I may need to buy. Money becomes useless after that point anyways, so I don't need those potions taking up inventory space.

    I'll be keeping an eye out in the Workshop for a thread from you. 

    As for the Progenitor, I don't have anything concrete yet. Just a few rough ideas. I may focus on other projects first, like finishing up this build with Kaiser, talking more with Feeney about a potential Redguard build we could make, and also looking into a new solo build concept I've had on hold for a while. So much Skyrim, so little time....

    Thanks, buddy! Yeah, I loved the old version in many ways too, but I saw too much potential for improvement not to revisit it in-depth. Really glad I did revisit it though, because I also agree that it's a marked improvement.

    Thanks Drakon, me too. Definitely owe some credit to Ponty for originally suggested the Redguard Hood + Telvanni Robes combo (back before the Armor Combo Catlogue was conceived) and also Albino for suggesting the Mythic Dawn boots/gloves to pair with them. They complement each other very nicely, and the only clipping is in that collar area on the front, which isn't too distracting. Definitely one of my favorite combos!

    Followup, for anyone interested -- as this could impact potential future builds ... Shalidor's Insights: Alteration does not affect Slow Time's duration. Sorry it took me over a week to test that out!

    Great work Teccam. This is information worth remembering.

    Hmm, could've sworn it did. Must've mixed something -_-
