Green Pact Alchemy

  • Alchemy and the Green Pact; it makes alchemy more challenging in Skyrim, but it is still possible for a Bosmer (Wood Elf) to be an alchemist and stay true to the Green Pact.  Vix's Part 2 on the Bosmer explains the Green Pact in some detail if you are unfamiliar or wish to know more.  If anyone is interested in a non-green pact specific (i.e. complete list) of ingredients and effects then read "Dragon's Achemy Guide".

    What follows is a list of Alchemical effects that stays true to the Bosmer's Green Pact.  The first section is a list of potions, the second section is a list of poisons, and the third is a list showing impossible potions (for Green Pact devotees) due to having only one ingredient (only 2 of these, namely: fortify alteration, marksman).

    I do realize some of the entries are of a dubious nature, so for this reason, I have color-coded the entries.  Black means it comes directly from an animal (I've included daedra and atronachs here).  Brown indicates a source from undead (or long dead).  Blue indicates an animal product.  Orange is a non-living source.  And purple indicates a fungus.

    Devout ones simply avoid plants. Not as devout ones don't really care that much

    The Green Pact is so complicated! Why cant it just be No eating plants and no plucking plants. Im wondering how the Bosmer can stay sane with all this exceptions

    You can consume plants, but you must not have plucked them yourself. There are exceptions to this, as evidenced in Pact Advocate quest in ESO: Video

    The green pact says you cant consume plants and arent allowed to hurt plants, am i right? So it would be ok to make a poison from already plucked plants?

    It is, though I'd be careful with it. While using the already-plucked samples is usually fine, there are cases when even that might cause a breach of the Pact. And we are dealing with Hagraven magic here too...

    Vampire Dust comes from abominations, vampires, whose exist outside of nature and are hostile to it. An argument can be made about Y'ffre being against the use of anything with such vile origins. Or that since they exist outside of natural cycle, the dust...  more

    How would Dwarven Oil or Vampire Dust violate the Green Pact?
