Oblivion:Ingredients

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

Jump to: navigation, search

This article provides an overview of all the Alchemy ingredients available in the basic game of Oblivion. Several more ingredients are added by the Shivering Isles expansion, all of which are detailed at the expansion's ingredients page. Each of the ingredients has its own page that provides more complete information (see links in the following table).

Other information relevant to ingredients is available on the following articles:

[edit] Availability

There are several ways to obtain ingredients:

  • Already-harvested samples
    • Ingredients that are considered to be food can be found in most houses or dining areas. These samples will respawn three days after you leave the area.
    • Ingredients can be bought from merchants, who will have a random selection of available ingredients. Food ingredients can be bought from food vendors or inns; other ingredients can be bought from alchemy vendors. The inventories of all merchants will respawn three days after you leave their store.
    • Ingredients can sometimes be found in containers. Food cupboards and food sacks contain food. Certain loot containers (some chests in necromancer, conjurer, undead, or vampire dungeons; some fleshy pods in planes of Oblivion) may contain a single random ingredient. These containers will respawn after three days.
    • Some other individual ingredients can be found in various buildings around Cyrodiil. In particular, most Mages Guilds have a few ingredients sitting out in the open. These ingredients will not respawn.
  • Harvesting from plants
    • A large number of ingredients come from plants that can be found growing in Cyrodiil or in planes of Oblivion. Some plants are very widespread, with thousands of plants growing in various places, whereas others are much less common and therefore more difficult to find. At any one time, you can only try to collect a single sample of an ingredient from each plant (there is a probability that you will find nothing when you try to collect the sample). However, after three days, each plant's ingredient will respawn (although a load screen message says that plants regrow after a month, this isn't true).
  • Collecting from creatures
    • The other common source of ingredients is from creatures. Many creatures have body parts (meat, heart, skin, horn, teeth, etc) that are used as alchemy ingredients. When you kill the creature you can collect the ingredient from its corpse. Most creatures will respawn after three days. However, there is no guarantee that the creature that reappears after three days will be the same as the one that you previous killed.
    • There are also a few creatures that always carry a specific ingredient. Most notably the Bitterfish Goblins at Miscarcand always carry Scales (or at least that interpretation makes more sense than the other option, i.e., that they somehow have a scaly skin that is identical to Slaughterfish skin). These creatures can therefore be considered to be a reliable source of certain ingredients.

[edit] Standard Ingredients

This table lists all of the standard ingredients in the game. The primary effect is the one you get if you just eat the ingredient. Use two or three ingredients that have the same magical effect to make a potion. The higher your alchemy level the more effects you will be able to use. Alternatively, select two or three damaging effects to manufacture poison.

Click on an effect name to see all ingredients that share that effect.

* These ingredients appear in two identically-named variants (two separate stacks in the inventory) so they can be combined with themselves providing a potion with all 4 effects at once.

[edit] Rare Ingredients

These ingredients are of limited value for alchemy: some of them can never be used for alchemy purposes (even though the game considers them to be ingredients); some have alchemy effects with limited value; some have a very limited number of possible samples. None of these ingredients are found randomly (either in containers or in merchant inventories). If the notes mention that the ingredient is quest-specific, then that ingredient is tagged as a quest item and therefore it does not appear in the alchemy menus.
