Detailed Walkthrough

The Only Show In Town

Farengar Secret-Fire is a dedicated court wizard serving Jarl Balgruuf the Greater at Dragonsreach in Whiterun. Most of his time is spent studying and advising the Jarl on the current dragon threat. However, he does have time to assist the locals in town. If you ask him if he is the only wizard in town, he will acknowledge that while, technically, he is alone in his craft, the town also holds other practitioners. And, since he's on the subject, he remembers he has some frost salts he'd promised to pick up for local alchemist Arcadia, the proprietor of Arcadia's Cauldron. He asks if you wouldn't mind delivering the frost salts; Arcadia will surely compensate you for them. When you tell him you will help him out, he will respond with a disparaging remark, but will hand you the frost salts, a quest item not to be dropped.

He'll Never Know What Hit Him

Head to Arcadia's Cauldron and enter during regular business hours, specifically between 8am and 8pm, or even when she strolls around the main trading room in the evening; as always, she will claim you have a fatal disease in hopes you will buy one of her potions, but will be grateful for the salts. She then reveals she needs the salts for a love elixir meant for the unsuspecting Farengar, and will then hand you three potions as compensation. Additionally, as you have now earned her friendship, almost all the various ingredients and potions in her shop are free to take.

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• 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 any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• 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 FreeformWhiterunQuest05 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, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest FreeformWhiterunQuest05.
