Be aware that this quest is not mandatory and will not be noted in your journal. It is suggested to replay it periodically, as it can be quite lucrative. The opportunity to receive this quest will only arise after completing the second primary quest for the College of Winterhold, Under Saarthal, as Tolfdir will only return to the College following his excavation. If you cannot locate him, complete the third primary quest, Hitting the Books.
Locate Tolfdir, who can typically be found in the main square or the Hall of Elements, and inquire if he needs any assistance (shown above). Tolfdir will inform you that he has misplaced his alembic and request that you retrieve it for him.
Unfortunately, Tolfdir’s Alembic (shown above) is hidden in a location chosen randomly within the Hall of Countenance, although it should be located within one of the public areas. As a result, it is not necessary to search through any mage’s private quarters. After acquiring the Alembic, return it to Tolfdir to receive a reward of gold and a random Soul Gem.
