The Enchanted Chest.

[edit] Quick Walkthrough

1. Raminus Polus informs you of a service provided to Traven by a guildmate.
2. Talk to her about it and take advantage of it yourself.

[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

You receive this quest immediately upon completing Confront the King. Simply follow your compass to find Julienne Fanis and talk to her about alchemical ingredients.

She will reveal that you can place an ingredient in the Enchanted Chest in the Arch-Mages quarters once a week and it will create several examples of the same item. She will also warn you that if you take longer than a week to retrieve the duplicated items, everything in the chest will disappear.

[edit] Enchanted Chest

Once you place an ingredient into the chest, if it is a compatible ingredient, the chest will add ten more portions of that ingredient in 24 hours. After one week, the chest will empty and you will lose not only the added portions of the ingredient, but the original portion of the ingredient. Below is a list, detailing the behavior of this chest.

• Once your ingredients have multiplied, you must wait a week from the time you placed the ingredients in the chest before you can place more ingredients into it.
• It does not matter how many portions of an ingredient you place in the chest, only ten more portions will be added to what you put in.

[edit] Cautions

• Placing more than one ingredient in the chest will cause them all to disappear after a day.
• All items other than normal, non-quest-related ingredients will disappear.

[edit] Compatible Ingredients

The list of compatible ingredients is actually coded in the script that the chest uses, and below is the list of these ingredients.

Food	Plants	Mushrooms	From Creatures
Apple Beef Blackberry Bread Loaf Carrot Cheese Wedge Corn Flour Garlic Grapes Ham Ironwood Nut Leek Lettuce Onion Pear Pumpkin Radish Rice Strawberry Sweetcake Sweetroll Tobacco Tomato Watermelon Wheat Grain	Alkanet Flower Aloe Vera Leaves Arrowroot Bergamot Seeds Bloodgrass Columbine Root Pulp Dragon's Tongue Fennel Seeds Flax Seeds Ginkgo Leaf Ginseng Harrada Lady's Mantle Leaves Lady's Smock Leaves Lavender Sprig Mandrake Root Milk Thistle Seeds Monkshood Root Pulp Morning Glory Root Pulp Motherwort Sprig Mugwort Seeds Nightshade Peony Seeds Primrose Leaves Redwort Flower Sacred Lotus Seeds Somnalius Frond Spiddal Stick St. Jahn's Wort Nectar Tiger Lily Nectar Viper's Bugloss Leaves Water Hyacinth Nectar White Seed Pod Wormwood Leaves	Bog Beacon Asco Cap Cairn Bolete Cap Cinnabar Polypore Yellow Cap Clouded Funnel Cap Dryad Saddle Polypore Cap Elf Cup Cap Emetic Russula Cap Fly Amanita Cap Green Stain Cup Cap Steel Blue Entoloma Cap Stinkhorn Cap Summer Bolete Cap Tinder Polypore Cap Wisp Stalk Caps	Boar Meat Bonemeal (Both Types) Clannfear Claws Crab Meat Daedra Heart Daedra Silk Daedra Venin Daedroth Teeth Dreugh Wax Ectoplasm Fire Salts Frost Salts Glow Dust Imp Gall Minotaur Horn Mort Flesh Mutton Ogre's Teeth Rat Meat Scales Scamp Skin Troll Fat Vampire Dust (Both Types) Venison Void Salts

[edit] Unique ingredients

If you have Rare Vampire Dust and/or Deranged Zombies' Bonemeal, the chest takes those rare ingredients and returns the normal versions of those ingredients; not only does the chest create ten normal samples, but the initial, rare sample is also transformed into a normal one. So, for example, when you cannot sell the Vampire Dust to Roland Jenseric that you received from killing the quest vampires at Bloodcrust Cavern, you can instead use the dust to make normal Vampire Dust with the Enchanted Chest and then turn around and sell all eleven samples to Roland, for 250 gold each. Duplicating vampire dust is the best way to use the enchanted chest to make money, assuming that you have completed the The Order of the Virtuous Blood quest.

[edit] Incompatible Ingredients

Below is a list of all the ingredients in the original distribution of Oblivion that will not be reproduced in this chest. This is not a complete list, because any ingredients added by mods (either official or unofficial) will probably not work (unless the modder thought to modify the script to include them). Specifically, none of the ingredients introduced by the Shivering Isles can be reproduced in the chest.

Ambrosia Ashes of Hindaril Cheese Wheel Cinnabar Polypore Red Cap Foxglove Nectar Green Stain Shelf Cap Human Heart Human Skin

Jumbo Potato Lichor Nirnroot Orange Painted Troll Fat Pinarus' Prize Minotaur Horn Poisoned Apple Potato

Rat Poison Refined Frost Salts Root Pulp Rumare Slaughterfish Scales Shepherd's Pie S'jirra's Famous Potato Bread Taproot Unicorn Horn

[edit] Journal Entries

Alchemy Acquisitions (MG19Alchemy)
Stage	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
10		I need to speak with Julienne Fanis about collecting Alchemical ingredients for the Arch-Mage.
100		Julienne Fanis has told me there is a special chest in the Arch Mage's quarters. Once a week, I may place an ingredient inside, and return a day later to find that ingredient replicated for my use. If I take too long in returning to the chest, however, I will lose whatever was placed inside.

Notes

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in random order.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage MG19Alchemy stage. Where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages. See SetStage for more information.
