Potion and Concoctions (that aren't exploits) You Actually Use

[Kendo 2]

This isn't about spamming the alchemy table to level up or breaking the game with loops/exploits.  Post the recipes you use when you bother to really play the game.

 

I'll start...

The Basics everyone should know by now are Vegetable Soup and/or Venison Stew.  Both are super cheap and easy.  Elsweyr Fondue is also good for mages but the Moon Sugar is pricey at low levels.

 

Now for the real recipes:

Make me Mage-Proof: Hawk Beak, Snowberries, Mudcrap Chitin

   resist fire, frost and shock (restores Stamina as well)

Battle Mage Potion: Juniper Berries, Salt Pile, Garlic

   regenerate Magicka and Health

The Redguard: Juniper Berries, Bear Claws, Canis Root

  fortify one-handed and archery

Kill-Me-Quickly Poison: Imp Stool, Rivery Betty, Mora Tapinella

   damage health and lingering health damage

Kill-Me-Slowly Poison: Deathbell and River Betty

   damage health and slow

I use a variation on your kill-me-slowly: Deathbell, River Betty, Bleeding Crown. 

 

Using the bleeding crown adds a weakness to poison element to it as well, meaning follow-on shots of the same thing are more effective.
