De Rerum Dirennis – Alchemy Remastered
A completely remastered perk tree along with a few great changes, in order to create a more advanced and viable experience for those heavily involved in alchemy. This mod aims to reward commitment to alchemy with an assortment of powerful features.
NOTE: As stated in the brief, this mod is very aimed towards thos who heavily rely on alchemy. That is not to say those who just like to dabble in alchemy will not benefit from this mod also, however the target audience is aimed at hardcore alchemists.
WHAT IS IT?:
This mod is a complete reworking of the alchemy tree primarily, with a few extra much needed features as a bonus. It was designed to stay true to vanilla skyrim as possible whilst providing a more comprehensive alchemy experience.
– The perk tree is now split into three sections, potion, poison and assistance.
– All perks in the new perk tree are altered vesions of the vanilla perks, however most have been greatly enhanced and now have multiple ranks.
– There is one new perk called extra vials, which increases your carrying capacity by 100 when carrying potions or poisons.
– All the perks have been rearranged to give a more logical and more flexible progression through the tree.
– The perk level requirements have been altered to allow for the early flexability and continuous progression not seen in the vanilla tree.
– Every perk change can bee seen listed below, the pictures give information on where each perk is in the tree.
– The tree is significantly better visually, now resembling a potion vial.

INGREDIENT WEIGHT
Ingredient weight is now 0 for all ingredients. This make everything far more convenient. This particular mod however only alters the vanilla ingredients. Dawnguard and Dragonborn add-ons for this mod are available in order to alter the ingredients added by the DLCs.
FRENZY AND FEAR EFFECTS
Frezy and Fear have been greatly empowered. In the vanilla game, with all the perks the maximum level enemy you could fear/frenzy with a poision (with no enchanted armour) was level 12. What a joke! its now 4x for all those ingredients so it is actually usable. Again, to achieve this with the DLC ingredients, the add-ons are needed.
CRAFTED POTION WEIGHT NEW
Crafted potions and poisons will now be weightless. This make carrying around a buttton of p&ps, like I always do when playing an alchemist, a whole lot easier.
NOTES:
– Any mod that changes the ingredients in any way will conflict. If you want to use the other mods effects place it after this mod in the load order (it will probbably mean they wont be weightless anymore though!).
– Any mod that changes the alchemy perk tree will also conflict.
– Any mod that changes the which ingredients are available form vendors/corpses/etc will NOT conflict.
– Is this overpowered? Quite.
-Make sure you give a thumbs up if you like it!
-The vials on my armour are added by the Bandolier mod. I highly reccomend it!
– The area I am in is Riverwood from ‘Towns and Villages Enhanced’, I am sitting because I am using ‘Dovahkiin Relaxes Too’. All are great mods!
– Blue mountian flower + Hanging Moss makes a very expensive poison. Good for becoming rich and for leveling up.
– Adding Lavender to the above mix makes it even more expensive! All of these ingredients are common and cheap.
