| Personally I find alchemy boring so I still think constant effect specialty rings and amulets with the desired spells are the way to go - levitation, water breathing, night eye, etc.
I'm more inclined to constant effect enchanting myself; we had quite a few debates on enchanting vs alchemy in the early days. Still, don't underestimate alchemy.... the potions you can make with 100 alchemy and 100+ intelligence are capable of magnitudes far higher then can be managed with CE enchanting.
Potions are also a more easily available money stream then soulgems are. Soulgems with ancestor ghosts are easily worth 30 times as much as a single potion, but getting a large, steady supply of common soulgems can be a hassle. Whereas alchemy ingredients are incredibly easy to come by -- and do sell for a few hundred by the time you max your skill. |
