Ok let's say you're dead-set on capping alchemy. You have two ways to go about this. You can...

A) Buy and harvest every ingredient you see, make potions, do a lot of fast traveling around to buy/sell as needed, spending a few days at it.

B) Buy a few fortify alchemy items, drink a Fortify Restoration potion, remove items, exit the item menu, go back to item menu and wear them again. Make another - this time more powerful fortify restoration potion. Drink that, and repeat. In less than 5 minutes, you'll be at max alchemy because you'll make a potion worth over a million gold. Sell it to the merchant and you'll instantly have 100 speechcraft.

Which do you do?



Even if you don't get a million gold from the merchant in return?

Yeah, it's based on the value of the item, not how much gold you get.

Only half as great as making a bunch of Fortify Enchantment potions while your Fortify Alchemy effect is juiced up to +68,998,621%.

Of course it can corrupt your game but good.

If you are going to do that you might as well do it the right way and get an ogham infinitum and just max out your skills.

Corruption be damned, save the game before you do it so you can resume your normal play. It's fun to make a weapon that does 10,000 damage and one hits anything, specifically guards. You can play the Skyrim version of Duke Nukem and battle a never-ending wave of guards.
