An opalescent glass jar is sold in the Wehnimer's Landing Alchemist's House, the local alchemist shop. It holds up to 20 doses of items used in Alchemy such as alchemy drops, foraged items, and gems. The jars will not hold skins. The jar will reduce those 21 items (including the jar) to just one item for item inventory quantity reasons. This is a huge boon to alchemists fighting the 500-item limit.

Shortly after the release of the jars, GM Bernt opened a merchant tent in Mist Harbor that sold jars, bottles and beakers that held 50 doses instead of the standard 20. The shop was simply called Inside a White Tent.

Description

When an item is added, the description changes from "a glass jar" to "a glass jar containing {items}"

The jars can be customized when ORDERed to be different colors for ease of sorting. The jars cannot be dyed via the dyer's tents. When the full system is in place, the dyer's tent dyes will be able to dye empty jars.

During the first two days of sale, these jars were just "a glass jar". The opalescent part was added later when the colors were made manipulatable.
