Template:Quest-stub Template:Mages guild quests
Overview
Faction: Mages Guild
Prerequisites: Rank of Arch-Mage. (Unknown at this time whether a minimum rank in Alchemy is required.)
Quest giver: Raminus Polus, found either in the Arch-Mage's tower or the mage quarters at the Arcane University in the Imperial City.
Reward: Access to the Enchanted Chest
Background Information
Upon being bestowed the rank of Arch-Mage by Raminus Polus, there will be a dialogue option for Alchemy Acquisitions. One of the perks of being Arch-Mage is that you may request the aid of most any mage in the University. In this case, Julienne Fanis, the mage responsible for the Lustratorium.
Walkthrough
Polus will send you to speak with Fanis about acquiring alchemy ingredients. She is most often found in the Lustratorium, or in the mage quarters; follow the compass line. Upon speaking with her, she will tell you that the late Arch-Mage Traven had a fondness for alchemy, and that he would often send her to acquire rare ingredients. Because her time is limited, she could not keep up with his requests, and so eventually created the Enchanted Chest for him. It has the ability to replicate ingredients placed inside it. Since you are now Arch-Mage, you may use the chest for yourself. Quest complete.
Addendum
As soon as you are promoted to Arch-Mage, you can use the enchanted chest - you don't need to complete this quest. All this is for is to give you basic information on how to use the chest.
DO NOT! Put Nirnroot in there. It is erased. Other alchemical ingredients including Bloodgrass or Daedra hearts are ok. Additionally: SAVE some of the lowbie level "harvest from animal" parts. Rats are everywhere, but scamp skin is hard to find in the end game. Keep one for this. Store them in your house! Other containers are not safe. Slaughterfish are also easy to find, save those lowbie oblivion bits.
