<p>I've noticed many players are hesitant to try alchemy, and for good reason. For those who aren't experts in this crafting skill, it can seem daunting to get into. Here are some resources I use that take a ton of the guesswork out of alchemy. </p>

<p>This site is an invaluable resource for those who want to know exactly how strong their concoctions will be. The menu on the right side lets you determine the exact magnitude of your concoctions based on your alchemy level, enchantments, and perks selected. Noticeably missing is 'Seeker of Shadows' which magnifies the effectiveness of thief skills, including alchemy level, by 10%. </p>

<p>This resource is very useful for theory crafting potion and poison combinations. Every possible combination of poison and potion effect is available in the 4 separate effect drop down menus.</p>
<p>Simply pick your effects and see which ones match up. Once you've found the combination of effects you're satisfied with you can view below and see all the possible combinations of ingredients that will create your desired combination of effects. You can select different combinations of ingredients to see how/if they alter the effects in anyway. Very useful for alchemists looking to find the easiest combination of ingredients to gather.</p>

<p>Please, everyone, feel free to add to this. I'm sure there are many other online resources I missed that could prove just as useful.</p></div>Neutralizing Necromancy . . . in Skyrimhttps://TheSkyForge.ning.com/groups/tes-character-building/cb-related-posts/neutralizing-necromancy-in-skyrim2017-09-21T04:40:22.000Z2017-09-21T04:40:22.000ZEater of Leftover Pizzahttps://TheSkyForge.ning.com/members/EaterofLeftoverPizza<div><p><span class="font-size-3"><span class="font-size-3">Do you hate it when necromancers and vampires resurrect an enemy you just killed no longer than five seconds ago? Do you wish there's a way to make sure they STAY dead? Well just ask your friendly necromancy user and they'll say that not even Dead Thrall and the Ritual Stone can bring back enemies that were either turned to ash or beheaded. And each of those conditions can be done in these simple - though maybe time consuming - ways.</span></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><br> <br></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><span class="font-size-3">Decapitation</span></span><span class="font-size-3"><br> <br></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><span class="font-size-3">This can be done with just one perk and it will depend on whether you use a one-hand or two-handed weapon; Savage Strike for one-handed, and Devastating Blow for two-handed. These perks work with any melee weapons, even blunt weapons like maces and warhammers. Note that these perks only work on humanoid enemies - men, elves, beastfolk. Draugrs are not affected, though the killing animation is still used. While the decapitation chance is unspecified, both do give a 25% additional damage to standing power attacks.</span></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/905581?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/905581?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-full"></a></span></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><span class="font-size-3">Ashes to ashes</span></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><span class="font-size-3">This can be done with the Disintegrate perk in the Destruction skill tree, the master Destruction spell Lightning Storm, and the Dragonborn DLC ability, Dragonborn Force.</span></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><span class="font-size-3">Disintegrate requires 70 in Destruction and proves also useful finishing off dragons. And, yes, you can still get their souls.</span></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><span class="font-size-3">Lightning Storm requires a maximum 100 in Destruction. Its use costs 138 magicka per second, but the Master Destruction perks reduces it to 69. Taking the Necromage perk makes it especially useful against the undead.</span></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><span class="font-size-3">Dragonborn Force is gained from the Black Book in the Dragonorn DLC quest, The Gardener of Men. It increases Unrelenting Force’s environmental damage and helps kill weaker enemies when dealing with groups.</span></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/905607?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/905607?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-full"></a></span></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><span class="font-size-3"><span class="font-size-3"> The Wabbajack does both in addition to transforming into small animals and items like rabbits and sweetrolls, though these are 4 of the 28 random effects.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><span class="font-size-3">^_^ Have fun making people stay dead.</span></span></p></div>
