Arcadia's Cauldron

"Ar so your an Alchemest then" Arcadia

Arcadia's Cauldron is an Alchemy shop in the wind district of Whiterun City in Whiterun Hold.

Background
The shop is owned by an Imperial named Arcadia. The store sells Alchemy products (potions, ingredients). Arcadia allows free use of the Alchemy Lab. Following the door to the left of the lab leads the Dragonborn to the Herbalist's Guide to Skyrim on a table. This book contains many useful combinations and ingredients for potions, as well as increasing the Alchemy skill by one point.

Arcadia is an expert level Trainer.

If she trains the Dragonborn in Alchemy the money will go directly in her shop, making it possible to sell her more items. If the Dragonborn has no more potions to sell, then they can use the alchemy lab in the shop to make more.

Entering her shop past eight PM will result in her calling the guards. This is considered trespassing and thus, a crime.

If Arcadia is killed, her shop will stand idle from then on.



Related quests

 * If the Dragonborn asks Farengar for work, he asks them to deliver some Frost Salts to Arcadia. Upon doing so, Arcadia tells the Dragonborn that these salts are an ingredient in a powerful love potion she is brewing. She also muses that she should perhaps test the potion on Farengar first, perhaps she finds him attractive.
 * After Delivering the Frost salts some alchemy ingredients will be able to be taken off Arcadias shelvs.
 * May be the target for a [Thieves Guild]] radiant quest (heist job, numbers job or even shill job, as Arcadia sleeps upstairs).

Notable loot

 * Herbalist's Guide to Skyrim - An Alchemy book is in a room on a table to the left of the Alchemy Lab.

Trivia

 * It the shop is broken into after Arcadia has gone to bed the same shopkeeper's spiel may be heard as if the shop was entered during business hours

Bugs

 * Sometimes the Dragonborn will fall through the world while standing on the edge of the fireplace. The area will turn blue and the sky in Sovngarde will appear instead of the roof. The Dragonborn will then enter the falling animation and, after a few seconds, appear where Arcadia spawned.
