Where can I find jars and ingredients?
  • 1 of 4: They're on a shelf in a room on the middle floor (the floor with the exit to the outdoor region).
  • 2 of 4: From the entry area, go into the room to the east and continue north until you reach a room with several shelves.
  • 3 of 4: Along the north wall are the shelves with the items you need.
  • 4 of 4: You can take them all, but you only need one jar and one bag of ingredients for each scholar that you intend to turn into a lich.
