Skyrim has hundreds of different quests. Some of them are complicated and require you to fight tough enemies or explore dungeons. But the Dragonborn can also complete some simple find-object quests. For example, while studying at the College of Winterhold, you may be asked to find Tolfdir's Alembic.
This quest is unusual because it can be completed multiple times. But don’t think that it will be too simple, since the item you need is hidden in one of several places.

All Tolfdir's Alembic Locations in Skyrim
Once you have completed the Hitting the Books quest for the College of Winterhold, you can begin the Tolfdir the Absent-Minded quest. To do this, visit Tolfdir, which can be either in the Hall of Attainment or the Hall of the Elements. This mage will look confused and ask you to find his Alembic. Of course, he can use another Alembic, but his own has a certain sentimental value. In any case, the item you need is located randomly in one of three locations in the College of Winterhold. Luckily, all the locations are in the Hall of Countenance, so you won't have to go far to find the item.
- The first possible location is the western room on the first floor of the Hall of Countenance (the second room to the left of the entrance). The item is on one of the crates, so you won't miss it.
- The second location is in the northern room on the second floor of the Hall of Countenance. Check the barrel on the right side of the room.
- The last possible place where you can find Tolfdir's Alembic is in the enchanting room on the second floor of the Hall of Countenance. Under one of the display cases, the Dragonborn will find Alembic.

In this article, we'll tell you everything about Jarrin Root in Skyrim, including how to get and use it.
After this, all you have to do is return to Tolfdir and give him his precious Alembic. He will be happy and will give you 30 Gold and a random Soul Gem as a reward. This is a good way to farm Soul Gems, since Tolfdir seems to lose his stuff often. Therefore, we recommend that you visit this mage occasionally and help him with his search for Alembic.
That's all you need to know about where to find Tolfdir's Alembic in Skyrim. This quest is much simpler than it might seem, since all you need to do is know where to look.
