Alchemy Solvents and Reagents

Chapter 3 / 7

Solvents and reagents are the things you need to successfully craft a potion or poison in the Elder Scrolls Online. Solvents decide the level of a potion or poisons you craft, whereas reagents decide what effects the potion or poison will have.

Solvents

Like mentioned before, solvents are used to create potions or poisons. You can farm them in the world or buy them in guild stores. Depending on what level you have achieved in the Alchemy Crafting skill line, you will be able to use different solvents.
