Let's Play Skyrim Legendary Difficulty | Part 16: First 'Crafting Set' & Powering Alchemy to 100
2The Let's Play continues!
In this episode, we make a modified version of the 'First Crafting Set' from the Guide. This set 'only' contains Fortify Alchemy (not Fortify Alchemy +Smithing), as I do not plan on using Smithing until the Final Crafted Set is created for this particular playthrough. If 'you' however wish to make an earlier Fortify Smithing set to enhance Smithing items a bit earlier, then by all means do!
Next, we spent considerable time increasing Alchemy to 100. First, to reveal the effects of as many ingredients as we could (to make Alchemy hypothetically easier to use in the future), we made one of each potion from the following 'Identifying Potions' list (excluding potions that required ingredients that we didn't have). The list being: "Base Game Ingredients (65 Potions, 193 Ingredients)" , from the following link:

After revealing 90%+ of the effects of the Base Game Ingredients, we used the remainder of our ingredients to increase Alchemy to 100. Given that the value of potions corresponds to experience gained, certain ingredient/effect combination yield more experience than others. We used the "Alchemist Resource" from "Rabcor's Ultimate Crafting Guide" to ensure that we were making the most efficient potions possible.

Finally, we went for a bit of a Dragon hunt, as for whatever reason, it has been a 'very' long time since this character has experienced a Dragon attack (the last fight with a Dragon was with a Blood Dragon way back around level 30!). This typically does not happen, and I am curious as to whether my particular game has bugged in some capacity, as it is normal to experience Dragon attacks every few in-game days or so.
The Let's Play is intended to support a Build + Strategy Guide that I wrote on Steam. Legendary Build & Strategy Guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2526314861
