Enchanting description: Created potions are <mag>% more powerful.
Fortify Alchemy increases the strength of potions created using Alchemy.

Enchanting

The following items use this effect. You can learn how to enchant custom items with Fortify Alchemy if you find one of the following items and disenchant it:

• All varieties of Bracers/Gauntlets and Helmets of Alchemy
  • Includes the enchantments of [Minor/Major/Extreme/Eminent/Peerless] Alchemy
• Muiri's Ring
• Ring of Pure Mixtures
  • This item cannot be disenchanted while the related quest is active, but can at other times.
• Due to a bug, the Dwarven Helmet of Eminent Alteration also has an alchemy enchantment

Items that use the effect but cannot be disenchanted include:

• Krosis

Items to Enchant

The Fortify Alchemy effect can be applied to the following items:

• Circlets, Hoods, and Helmets
• Gauntlets and Gloves
• Necklaces
• Rings

Notes

• The book Herbalist's Guide to Skyrim lists the ingredient deathbell as "effective in mixtures for boosting one['s] Alchemy skill." This is not true, as there are no ingredients with the fortify alchemy effect.
• Radiant Raiment in Solitude is a great place to look as it is frequently restocked with several enchanted items.
• The Seeker of Shadows power from the Dragonborn DLC fortifies your alchemy along with all other stealth skills by 10%.
  • The Seeker of Shadows reward acquired from the Black Book The Sallow Regent only gives a 9% bonus to prices instead of the advertised 10%.
  • This bug is fixed by version 1.0.3 of the Unofficial Dragonborn Patch.

Bugs

• Both a Falmer Helmet and a Circlet (or both a Falmer Helmet and the Krosis mask) can be worn together. Since both Falmer Helmets and Circlets can be enchanted with Fortify Alchemy, this allows you to equip five Alchemy-boosting items at once, instead of four.
  • This bug is fixed by version 1.2 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.
