Skyrim Fortify Enchanting Potion Recipe: Verified Ingredients and Stats
By Sarah Jenkins
Brewing at an alchemy lab without specialized perks generates negligible returns. A raw alchemy level of 100 with zero perk points invested yields a Fortify Enchanting magnitude of only 8%. Investing perk points transforms the system entirely.
Players must allocate five points into the foundational alchemist perk, which boosts potion potency by 100% at rank 5/5. From there, pathing requires taking the Physician perk to access the critical benefactor perk. The Benefactor perk grants an additional 25% boost to all beneficial potions created at any brewing station.
Combined with an Alchemy skill of 100, these perks raise standard two-ingredient concoctions made with snowberries and blue butterfly wings to 30% increased enchanting power. If an alchemist substitutes a DLC reagent like spawn ash or ancestor moth wings into the recipe, that baseline number jumps to roughly 37% before factoring in gear enchantments.
