People dislike the grind in the game but it is all part and parcel of being prepared to undertake the quests.
The rush to complete quests invariably leads to difficulties and trouble unless you have prepared well.
Learning how to combine potions for best effect makes life a whole lot easier but you can't combine what you haven't got.
In my latest playthrough I have a minimum 50 of each potion and at least 50 of all ingredients.
this make subsequent quests much easier to accomplish.
Save before every combat and if you discover you forgot something you can go back and redo it.
