How to Make Potions in Oblivion
The XBOX 360 role-playing game Oblivion utilizes a skill system that allows your main character to create items such as healing medicines or deadly poisons. As your character travels across the game's landscape you will find plant ingredients and recover animal glands that can be mixed together to make a wide range of different beneficial potions.

Tips & Warnings
You have to raise your alchemy skill to be able to make more powerful potions and add more ingredients. You can raise your skill by consuming any raw ingredients you find and by making large quantities of less effective potions. You can purchase or find a special item called a "Retort" which makes your healing potions more effective.
When your alchemy skill is at the lowest levels you will not recognize all of the properties of any herbs or ingredients you find, so your potions will not be as effective.
