Potions play a vital role in Oblivion Remastered, giving you buffs to fight stronger enemies or even increase Cyrodiil. However, obtaining them requires looting or crafting them using the correct set of ingredients.
In Oblivion Remastered, you start with the Mortar and Pestle from the Sewer area at the start of the game, and you can use the item to craft potions. You can use better equipment and make stronger potions as you level up. While you can use his potions to get a buff, you can also get many ingredients for free and sell the powerful potions for a profit to traders as well.
