Alchemy Calculator

Welcome to the UESP's Alchemy Calculator. This is a tool to help players develop recipes for potions and poisons for use in Oblivion. You can select a list of effects that you would like in your potion (or poison), and this tool will let you know what ingredients are necessary, and what other effects can be included in the potion. The calculator will tell you the exact strengths of all effects, based upon your character's current statistics. The ingredients to be used in the potions can be fully customized. Finally, you can store any recipes that you have developed for later reference. More complete instructions on how to use the calculator can be found on the UESP wiki.

I hope you enjoy using this calculator! Please feel free to provide any comments on the feedback page.

This calculator (version 0.42) is still a work in progress. If you encounter problems, please provide details on the problem at the feedback page. Also, input on desired features for future versions is welcome. If you are not a wiki user, you may instead provide feedback via email.
