Elder Scrolls Online Alchemy Guide – What ESO Herbs Have What Properties

Obviously, this is an incomplete guide. ESO is still in beta, and the non-disclosure is now (finally) lifted! Only certain areas are available for exploring though, which means you can only find so much out to begin with.

In order to make a potion you have to be at an alchemy station. Here’s an alchemy station:

You click on “Creation” and add the herbs of your choice. You have to have a water as well. Each herb has four different properties. You can see the properties you’ve discovered of the herbs you have in stock:

Here’s what I found so far:

Blessed Thistle – Restore Stamina, Ravage Health

Blue Entoloma – Restore Health, Ravage Magicka, Lower Spell Power

Bugloss – Increase Spell Resist, Lower Spell Power, Restore Health, Restore Magicka

Columbine – Restore Health, Restore Stamina, Unstoppable

Corn Flower – Restore Magicka, Detection, Ravage Health

Dragonthorn – Increase Weapon Power, Restore Stamina, Weapon Crit

Nirnroot – Ravage Health, Lower Spell Crit

Violet Coprinus – Lower Spell Resist
