So, I know we have a few shameless Alchemy lovers on the blog (myself among them), and this group has seen several fantastic Alchemy discussions. But I don't believe we've had one that hinges on potions that can be brewed exclusively from ingredients that can be cultivated in your Hearthfire house. Not until now, at any rate.
If you like Alchemy, you need to pick up Hearthfire. The ability to grow your own ingredients in bulk allows for an endless stock of potions with no maintenance. I personally use a Hearthfire home on all of my alchemist characters (which is at least half, since Alchemy is far and away my favorite crafting skill).
So, let's make an index of useful potions that can be made with plantable ingredients!
What You Can Do » Suggest your favorite potions and poisons (I'll give you credit of course). Please limit it to potions whose ingredients can ALL be grown in a Hearthfire garden or greenhouse. Please suggest a name for your creation as well! If the potion requires the Purity perk, please indicate that. Please only suggest potions with at least two effects.
Note #1 » I'm on the fence about whether the fish hatchery should be included. It opens up several more effects that would otherwise not be obtainable, but fish only spawn in batches of 3 or 6, which is only enough to keep up with one or two plants. Does anyone have thoughts on that front?
Note #2 » All listed magnitudes and/or durations assume level 100 Alchemy skill, with 5/5 Alchemist, Physician, Benefactor, Poisoner, and +66% Fortify Alchemy equipment.
Note #3 » Hearthfire is also very useful for quickly leveling the Alchemy skill. The best potion for this purpose is a combination of Creep Cluster, Mora Tapinella, and Scaly Pholiota. This is also a good potion to craft if you need to make some quick money.
