- Probably the most created multipurpose potion (and less used) is made by combining the following Ingredients: Wheat + Giant's Toe + Creep Cluster or River Betty. It gives you a potion/poison with 3 effects and the single most expensive potion you can make. And as you skill Alchemy by creating money (the better the price, the faster you raise your skill). This is one of the best multipurpose potions there is, till you max out the Alchemy skill. The effects are the following: Damage Stamina Regen + Fortify Health + Fortify Carry Weight.
- Another well-known multipurpose potion is the Creep Cluster + Large Antlers + River Betty. However, the ingredients for that recipe are more difficult to obtain than the one above. The effects are: Damage Stamina Regen + Fortify Carry Weight + Slow.
- Restore Stamina, Restore Magicka, and Restore Health are the most commonly occurring effects on alchemical ingredients. Combining ingredients to produce multiple effects is therefore easier if one of said effects is of the restore variety.
