Okay the way I **thought** how it works is the following.

1. Drink potion of restoration
2. Equip fortify alchemy gears
3. I will get improved alchemy forever (as long as I keep the gear).
4. Make better potion of restoration potion
5. Remove gears
6. Go back to #1 with the better restoration potion

I tried that my self. And something way off happens.

As the video suggest. There is no difference between I drink potion 90% fority restoration and then equip the gear or drinking the potion of restoration while wearing the gear.

I can drink all potion of restoration (I got 3) and got 900% fortify restoration. In fact, drinking potion of restoration improves the effect of next potion of restoration. However, it **doesn't** improves the effect of fortify enchanting potion.

I did build awesome 260% fortify restoration potion. However, that potion only have 260% effect for 60 seconds. After that the potion that is already made drop to the regular 100% fortify restoration.

So it's as if I am not really making more powerful potion. It's just the same potion but with temporary higher effect.

So where did I do wrong?

Drinking restoration potion and then equipping fortify alchemy gears do not help at all.

The main difference between drinking and then equip, compared to drinking while already wearing the 4 fortify alchemy set is in the active effect screen. In active effect screen, the effect of my 4 fortify alchemy is listed as only 20%. If I drink and then equip, the active effect of my alchemy is listed as 39%.

However, if I press tab and then items. The effects of my items improve the same way. They all list that each of my fortify alchemy apparels, that usually give 20% fortify alchemy now produces 39% fortify alchemy.

I think the issue may be several folds.

Perhaps the number listed on active effect is the one that's accurate instead of the number listed on item?
