To grind a little faster after level 5 and before level 10 in alchemy, you can abuse the "Trial and error" perk. It allows you to make more mistakes, so for example, you can brew the marigold decoction without even boiling the water. The same goes for the poison, you can brew it without boiling the oil. It saves a bit of time and makes the grind a bit less tedious, you just drop the herbs in the cauldron and use the phial on it.,(reply>), @Emanuel Pesendorfer That does not work.,(reply>), You don't need Trial and Error to make Marigold Decoction without boiling.,(reply>), @Emanuel Pesendorfer yea,(reply>), Meaning you could just add two marigold and be done with it after learning trial and error?,(reply>), You dont need the perk, you by default get 1 fail chance meaning you can make the option every time without boiling at all without the perk
