This table lists all of the standard ingredients in the game. You will experience a mild primary effect from eating an ingredient. Brewing two or more ingredients that share magical effects at an alchemy table will result in a potion or poison, with higher Alchemy skill levels resulting in stronger effects—longer duration, better fortifications or damage, etc. Special items such as Daedric Hearts and Void Salts are used in smithing Daedric equipment and improving Nightingale armor, respectively.
