Oblivion - Alchemy Deep Dive! Part 1 of who knows?

the hardest working oblivion youtuber

The only working* I kid lol I like this guy, I hope he gets into Avowed when it releases. His aptitude for numbers is always shorthanded when it comes to the content space for these games!

[@WastedPot]

I look forward to every new upload!

Becoming an alchemy master was when i first truly learned to love Oblivion. HP sponges? Gone. Healing? As good as restoration. And it makes you admire the scenery, you learn what plants grow where, it makes you appreciate the world a little more. Now i am almost always a flower-picking alchemist, even in Morrowind or Skyrim.

[@paulvontarsus729]

That's one thing I love about Oblivion - the varied nature while exploring. So many different plants, and farms if you want to be efficient.

[@JunkieSteward]

All your Oblivion videos are great but deep dives are my favourite. Big thanks !

[@malcontender6319]

I never play Oblivion without majoring in Alchemy. It's simply too valuable to neglect. 0:34 Math teacher confirmed.

[@liquidsleepgames3661]

The best thing about oblivions alchemy is that you basically have a spell in a bottle Skyrim you dont really have that h.o.t or much dot potions available and its all just burst damage.

[@EntityAzirius]

Hope you appreciate that you got me to play Oblivion properly for the first time. I've dabbled, but you've managed to engross me. Thank you for everything

[@hulkamal5434]

Didn't watch your content in the morning today :C. Thank you for doing this btw, I started playing the game again and I realized that I am making normie potions, felt like I can do so much more but I didn't have the energy to figure things out, this helps

[@9365fall]

I'm not going to watch this video, i'm going to go play oblivion, but i'm commenting and liking because I love the content.

[@parallaxninja456]

When I rebought oblivion and played it for the first time on my pc since I was a kid, I really wanted to make a cool mage. I went the atronach route and really love how it changes the dynamic of the game. Requiring alchemy was super fun as i hadn't used it much before. The money was so so good, the trips were satisfying knowing you have all the money youll ever need while also adding a huge amount of supplies to my backpack.

[@catmus1506]

Wow. Another video. Thanks heaps.

[@wiserip6080]

How about mixing up some potions? You look like quite the alchemist.

[@the_main_character447]

I really appreciate the nuance that oblivion and morrowind took with a lot of skills. you do not need to understand any of the mechanics this well to be successful, but it is so rewarding to study them like a wizard in a library and optimize them to become super powerful. I really hope es6 brings this back, but I fear oblivion was peak elder scrolls.

[@shoc2177]

I remember making potions like Shield + Fire Shield, so i can get tanky when i want. Also rez+ele shield of same type. I also made some Fortify Magic + Fortify Intellect pots called BIG BRAIN Potion , and they always had a damage attribute effect on them due to the ingredients, so i had to keep Restore Attribure pot of that type on me too after i drank a few hehe. Strong potions always have bad side effects too, so you gotta deal with that. Its a nice RPG element for me. I love Alchemy

[@D_PEAR]

oblivion is definitely my favorite elder scrolls game but one thing i think skyrim did better is tying XP gain from potions to the value of the potion created

[@IAreSmeegoo]

I think alchemy has by far the most utility for any character so long as you have the patience to collect and learn what ingredients will be useful for your character. I make a point to level it on every character because once you get to mastery level its just free infinite health/mana/stamina potions at the very least.

[@artcrime2999]

If you have the crypt dlc the blood salt thing is bugged and gives infinite alchemy mats. I forget the exact mechanic behind it

[@SmokeGravity]

if put one back after taking the initial one, the 2nd one wont deplete no matter how many times u take it

[@Treasure_hunter_21]

[@roman5209]

One day I want to be as capable and dedicated in the oblivion youtube scene as you Old Knight.

[@ATransformation]

i dont even play oblivion but these videos are fascinating

[@ismaelgoldstein786]

Link the spreadsheets please

[@novat9731]

I think you are missing two big ingredients for a fortify magicka potion. Columbine Root Pulp, from 'columbine' and Water Hyacinth Nectar, from 'Water hyacinth' Combining these two gives you a fortify magicka potion. + If you add Flax seeds, from 'Flax'. You get a potion which fortifies magicka and restores magicka. You can add a shield effect in addition. Tomato/potato = Shield Fire salt = Frost shield

[@maxwellhill4754]

Oblivion logic: Be a literal god crafting a sword: 25 damage + 22 fire damage. Have to attack about 20 times to kill a town guard. Be a guy with 80 alchemy and a journeyman pestle and some berries: 5 damage for 20 seconds 6 fire damage for 24 seconds 6 shock damage for 24 seconds. Hit once and kill any human on earth.

[@Horsekoch]

0:06 That’s what she said.

[@semioticwish]

I'm curious how differently the exp scaling looks with training as more than any other skill alchemy can both easily fund even its master training and easily control when you level. If my napkin math off the chart is right training 95-100 alone is responsible for almost 250 potions which is a huge difference. Granted even 900-1200 potions doesn't feel that bad when the money printer goes brrrr. Loving these deep dives!

[@tggtyujh]

Cool trick I just learned, if you do the s'jirra's potato bread quest you get an infinite source of restore health ingredients (25 gold each)

[@nicholasfalasca3732]

Thanks I appreciate it.

[@deminidze]

so i need 2044 bags of flour and 2044 bags of wheat ...

[@Biomancy]

I've seen a lot of KZbinrs make the false claim that nothing in Oblivion tells you what the apparatuses do. There's an in game book that explains what they do. I think it's called Fundamentals of Alchemy if I'm remembering the right book.

[@benutesch1089]

Loving your content! In one of your other videos, you said that Agility is just a bad stat and don’t raise it. I’m playing a paladin style build and am up around level 15 or so and am starting to feel like I’m getting staggered with about 50% of the hits I take. Would putting some points into agility actually help this or would it just lower my damage?

[@theoldknight85]

Maybe. I would try getting 85 armor, increasing your health, and using fortify/restore fatigue potions and spells first. Armor makes a really really big difference. If you have 85 armor and over 100% fatigue and you are still constantly getting staggered, then try agility

[@MagnetSphere-kc3gm]

how did you learn this stuff without reading, impressive

[@pattozebass9767]

It would be good if your chance to collect ingredients scaled with your alchemy skill. It doesn't make sense for an alchemy master would flub picking a mushroom. Perhaps this was a design feature as alchemy is OP. im sure there are mods that address this, but alas, im mainly confined to the PS3 edition

[@calinative1986]

For the love of God. Play New Vegas.

[@calinative1986]

Please

[@EA_SP0RTCENTER]

seconded. i would love to see him break down the systems of that game. i need someone to make youtube videos on how a Laser Build is the best build in the game.

[@tomaszpawlik5091]

@@EA_SP0RTCENTER nah, best builds arent tied to weapon type. starting with chance knife grinding with silenced rifles and gunning everyone down late game with tri beams is the play

[@bgggsht]

​​@@EA_SP0RTCENTERTbh between all modern Fallout and Elder Scrolls games New Vegas was the first one to make stealth archer (or sniper in this case) overpowered. For some reason F3 lacked powerful snipers, with Gauss Rifle (dlc weapon) being the only option for that one-shot gameplay Late game sniping in NV was seamless and guaranteed one shot kills on almost all enemies
