O.K., thanks. I thought that my Alchemy and Intelligence determined my CHANCE of getting a potion; and the equipment and possibly ingredients determined the QUALITY. I noticed that the recipe called for "two or MORE of the following..." (emphasis added) and I wanted to make sure that I wasn't getting crummy potions because I was skimping on ingredients.
Yeah, I've unloaded enough moon sugar and skooma on that kitty in the basement to have her wrapped around my finger three times over. I've trained Alchemy with her about 20 times (over 10 of those since my initial lackluster experiments in potion making): think I'm in the high 30s. If things follow a pattern, I'd expect that Intelligence has more of an effect on my success than Alchemy. Well, I've been bumping that up, too: I think it is around 67.
I guess your character's level has no direct bearing on gameplay, other than each level gives you more HP? GAs and skills, only, determine your character's effectiveness?
