Question
Do the type of potions I make have any effect on how much experience I gain towards leveling Alchemy? Are there any ways to level Alchemy aside from making potions, and how effective are though for leveling compared to making potions?
Answer
I'm fairly sure discovering new effects gives you the biggest boost to your alchemy skill, but throwing together your own potions is gonna be effective, of course.
My strategy has been to go out and collect too many ingredients and then head to an alchemy table and just start throwing stuff together. Generally, I try to put ingredients that I know a lot of effects with ingredients that I know zero or one effects. This way, I have a better chance of matching something.
Eating ingredients will uncover the first effect.
Oh, and you could always train from a specialist and then kill them and recollect your gold. But that's limited to fives times per level.
