Quests
Talking to the owner about different stuff will activate a quest to locate a ring known as "the ring of pure mixtures". Once the player brings the ring back, she will teach you some alchemy tricks/secrets that will raise the player's alchemy skill by one level. The player will fail the quest if the he/she somehow kills the owner, she is killed in a dragon or thief attack, or she is killed by vampires (The Dawnguard add-on only).
