One of the earliest Alchemy Crafting Writs in The Elder Scrolls Online requires you to make a Sip of Ravage Stamina. But if you’re not versed in the art of potion-making, it won’t be immediately clear how to complete this quest.
Anyone can craft a poison or potion, regardless of skill level. Without a higher Alchemy skill, however, you’ll only be able to craft lower-level solutions. Potions and poisons come in varying levels and effects. Potions such as a Sip of Health offer health-restoring benefits for its user or can increase stamina, or magicka. Poisons, on the other hand, can be applied to weapons and offer players advantages that can often go overlooked, like dealing damage over time to a target or reducing a their resources.
All ingredients needed for a Sip of Ravage Stamina in ESO
A Sip of Ravage Stamina is a simple potion to make. For the solvent, you’ll need Natural Water, which can be found as drops in water skins around the map if you’re below level 10 or bought from Guild Stores in bulk.
For your reagents, you’ll need two of the following items that have the Ravage Stamina trait:
- Fleshfly Larva
- Luminous Russula
- Stinkhorn
- Emetic Russula
- Imp Stool
Unfortunately for aspiring alchemists, not every combination of these items will make a Sip of Ravage Stamina. Because some of these reagents have secondary overlapping properties that will create other types of potions, you need the proper combination of these reagents. Stinkhorn combined with Emetic Russula, for example, makes a Sip of Ravage Health—not a Sip of Ravage Stamina—since both reagents share the Ravage Health trait.
The easiest way to make a Sip of Ravage Stamina in ESO is to combine Emetic Russula and Fleshfly Larva with Natural Water. But there’s more than one way to skin a Mudcrab, so if you don’t have either of those ingredients, you can use any of the following reagent combinations:
- Emetic Russula + Fleshfly Larva
- Emetic Russula + Imp Stool
- Emetic Russula + Luminous Russula
- Fleshfly Larva + Imp Stool
- Fleshfly Larva + Luminous Russula
- Fleshfly Larva + Stinkhorn
- Imp Stool + Luminous Russula
- Imp Stool + Stinkhorn
- Luminous Russula + Stinkhorn
Once you make a Sip of Ravage Stamina, it will show up in your inventory. From there, you can assign the potion to a quickslot, use it directly from your inventory, or take it to a drop-off location for Crafting Writs to redeem your reward.
What does Ravage Stamina do in ESO?
Ravage Stamina is an effect that increases the cost of a target’s stamina-based abilities by a percentage, depending on the level of the potion. A Sip of Ravage Stamina is the lowest level potion in this class, but it isn’t particularly useful. It increases the cost of the user’s stamina-based abilities, reducing the number of abilities you can cast in the same amount of time.
How does Alchemy work in ESO?
If you want to save your hard-earned gold, you can easily craft a potion or poison with items you find in ESO’s overworld. Just make sure you have the items you need and visit an Alchemy Station, which can be found around towns or in crafting set locations.
Alchemy requires players to input one solvent and at least two reagents. The solvent determines the level of the potion or poison, while the reagents determine its effects. Combining reagents with overlapping qualities will yield a solution with those same properties. To discover an item’s traits, players will need to either consume the item by interacting with it in their inventory or use it at an Alchemy Station and see if a potion can be made.
Once a player has made a potion or poison once, it’ll be logged on their character so the next time they go to combine the same items, they’ll know exactly what they’re making beforehand.
