Zaria	Grave Concoctions (Falkreath)

Quick Walkthrough

1. Receive the potion recipe.
2. Acquire one sample of wheat and one sample of blisterwort.
3. Combine the ingredients at an alchemy lab to create a potion of Restore Health.

Detailed Walkthrough

The Recipe

The quest giver will tell you how to make a simple potion of healing. You will need one sample of wheat and one sample of blisterwort mushroom, which can either be collected yourself or purchased from the quest giver. If you prefer to save yourself the gold, wheat can be found on many farms or randomly placed in barrels, and blisterwort often grows in caves.

Crafting the Potion

Once your ingredients are collected, approach the alchemy lab and select the wheat and blisterwort from your list of ingredients. If you've sampled blisterwort in the past, it will be listed under Damage Stamina, as that is its first effect. Finally, confirm the crafting of the potion and finish the quest to receive a freshly brewed potion of Restore Health. After you have brewed the potion, the category of restore health will be added to the Alchemy menu.

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage TutorialAlchemy stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest TutorialAlchemy.
