I definetly agree with the OP. We need to add mass amounts of useful potions, salves, elixirs, wings, downs, etc etc etc. I also like the idea of enhancing weapons with alchemy. A fire potion could be added to a sword to add + fire damage as well as a poison pot or paralyze pot. That only makes sense right? I've always loved the idea of ALC as a craft but it doesn't seem to get much attention.

I applaud the OP for not just starting a "OMG ALC SUCKS WTF SE GET IT RIGHT" thread but an actual interesting and productive thread. They seem to be getting quite rare these days...
