Story - Context
A tale is told among the ranks of the Brotherhood of Steel, that an ancient Scribe named Sinderion, found a way to travel between dimensions and in his journeys he found a strange, glowing plant that used to grow near the water of this beautiful and far realm.
He spent several months in a city called Skingrad and thanks to a young hero that collected the samples, he could brew a magic potion that he called..
Elixir of Exploration.
Alas the Scribe was too old to travel back to our world and his knowledge of dimensional travel is lost forever with him... although he found a way to send back a sample of a the strange plant and a recipe.
Scribe Neriah found a way to farm this Experimental plant and found the recipe in the archives of the Brotherhood.
According to the scribbles of the old madman, the effects of the Elixir vary with the increase of its concentration.
As you join the ranks of the BoS, Scribe Neriah asks you to volunteer to taste the concoctions..
The brave tasters can find the recipes in their chem labs, at the bookmark Elixir and harvest the Nirn..erm Experimental plant in the laboratories of the Prydwen.
Technical
The effects are about the same of Oblivion's EoE and it took half an hour to make it, but a whole day to understand how to fix the effect that adds melee damage, the same bug of Yao Guai Roast (that in vanilla adds 500% instead of 10%), half corrected by UOF4P, since it doesn't add 10% (but 5%) and the description is 0%. After several tests to check the math, I fixed it and used another identical effect that wasn't used at all by the game but is working. I can share the fix of that too but it doesn't conflict with UOF4P.
-The Nightvision is the same of the Wolf ribs and Night person 2 (Far Harbor), while the Fortify Health overrides Bloodbug food and is overridden by Tasty Deathclaw Omelette, but stacks with Skeeto Spit (Have you seen my improved version?).
-Too bad the Moderate Elixir does share the same Fortify Melee Dmg effect of YG Roast, because I cannot change the description of the effect (since the math is broken) without changing the description of all items that use that effect, but the Strong and Grand EoEs can stack with YGRoast (or the Moderate EoE), Fury, Overdrive, Psychotats, Psychobuff and Psycho jet and the general perks/magazines.
-Last but not least, the Sneak effect is the same of Calmex and Calmex Silk (NW) but since they are quite rare is no big deal.
According to my knowledge the Experimental Plant (3 planters) should respawn everyday, so i think if you just change cell and come back after 24 hours, you can farm them and brew 3 Grand EoE every 4 days (the airport should suffice). There is a mod that planted Nirnroot all over the Commonwealth if you want, but I didn't test it.
I didn't put any condition to the crafting so you are free to abuse.
Let me know in the comments if it tastes good!
