Top Five Potions in Elder Scrolls Online

ESO (Elder Scrolls Online) has an in-depth alchemy system that allows players to craft potions and poisons to augment their character’s combat abilities.

Today we will look at the best potions in the game and how to use them. Note that these potions are not in an order of “worst to best” - they are all very good, but they have different uses for different situations.

On a side note, remember to unlock and upgrade the Medicinal Use passive in the Alchemy skill tree to get the most out of your potions!

The Heroism potion in ESO is the most niche option on this list. You can make it by mixing Dragon's Blood, Columbine and Dragon Rheum.

Using this combination will create a potion that restores some magicka and stamina and grants you Minor Heroism, increasing your ultimate regeneration.

This is mainly useful for support roles like tanks and healers, helping them to keep their resource pools high and cast more ultimates to support their team.

You can make this potion by mixing Blessed Thistle, Dragonthorn and Wormwood.

Drinking this potion will restore you some stamina, and give you Major Brutality, Major Savagery, and Major Endurance.

This is very useful for stamina damage dealers in PvE, and PvP players in ESO who are making use of stamina skills primarily. It will increase your damage output substantially while it is active, and help to make sure that you have enough stamina to keep casting skills during combat.

This is effectively a magicka version of the Essence of Weapon Power. You can craft them by mixing Corn Flower, Lady's Smock and Water Hyacinth.

These potions give you Major Sorcery, Major Prophecy, Major Intellect and also restores some magicka. Again, this will increase your damage output substantially and help you to sustain during combat. Both this portion and the Essence of Weapon Power are used the most in ESO PvE, and are the bread and butter of end-game trial players, but they can also be useful for PvP players.

As its name suggests, this potion restores all three of your resources - health, magicka and stamina. You can make them with Bugloss, Columbine and Mountain Flower.

This potion is extremely useful for tanks, who regularly need to make heavy use of both magicka and stamina skills to buff themselves and allies, mitigate damage and taunt enemies, and the extra healing can help you out if you’re in a pinch. It is also very good for any hybrid builds, most notably in PvP.

Tri Stat Potions are very useful for tanks in ESO (Elder Scrolls Online)The alchemy reagents needed to craft tri stat potions are quite expensive, but you can also get a lot of Crown Tri-Stat Potions for free from login rewards, which have the exact same effect. Make sure to claim them each day that you log in to get these and other useful items!

Immovability potions are primarily useful to ESO PvP players and they offer a great synergy with burst builds utilizing the Clever Alchemist set. You can use this potion to buff yourself up and become immune to any enemy disabling effects (with the exception of the silence from Negate Magic) to make your rampage unstoppable!

There is also a niche usage in PvE for tanks doing difficult content where you can get stunned through block, for example Cloudrest hardmode.

Craft these by mixing together Water Hyacinth, Mountain Flower and Namira's Rot.
