About this armor
Increases damage from eligible ordinary Cracked Pot and Ritual Pot attacks by 15%. It does not improve Hefty Cracked Pot attacks.
The bonus improves direct damage, rather than Poison, Scarlet Rot, Sleep or bleed buildup. Wearing it does not give a utility pot a new damaging effect.
Can combine with Companion Jar's 20% ordinary-pot bonus for 38% more qualifying damage. The two effects multiply, rather than adding to 35%.

In-game description
Jar that fits cleanly over the head when upturned.
Made with pride by Iron Fist Alexander.
In a uniquely jarlike gesture of friendship, it boosts the power of throwing pot items.
Where to find
Alexander in the lava beyond Fort Laiedd
Mt. Gelmir
Starting Site of Grace: Seethewater Terminus
- Keep Alexander alive through the Radahn Festival. Once Starscourge Radahn is defeated, find Alexander on the Wailing Dunes battlefield and finish all his dialogue before leaving.
- His meeting above Jarburg in eastern Liurnia is optional. If he is stuck there, speak to him, throw an Oil Pot over him and strike him from behind to free him; finish the conversation afterward.
- From Erdtree-Gazing Hill on Altus Plateau, ride north through Wyndham Ruins and enter the valley beside Mt. Gelmir at Seethewater River. Follow the valley north, then around the mountain toward Seethewater Terminus.
- From Seethewater Terminus, ride west toward Fort Laiedd, then turn south around the outside of the fort. Continue southwest until you reach the lava lake with a Magma Wyrm.
- Make the lake safe enough to approach the rock island near Alexander. Ride across the shallow lava on Torrent, get onto the rock and dismount so you can speak without standing in the lava.
- Finish Alexander's dialogue until he gives you Jar. This is a conversation reward at the lava lake, not loot from killing him or defeating the Magma Wyrm.
Notes
- Increases damage from eligible ordinary Cracked Pot and Ritual Pot attacks by 15%. It does not improve Hefty Cracked Pot attacks.
- The bonus improves direct damage, rather than Poison, Scarlet Rot, Sleep or bleed buildup. Wearing it does not give a utility pot a new damaging effect.
- Can combine with Companion Jar's 20% ordinary-pot bonus for 38% more qualifying damage. The two effects multiply, rather than adding to 35%.
- Greatjar is a separate helmet from Belurat Gaol. It gives a larger 17% bonus and covers hefty pots too, but weighs 12.3 compared with Jar's 6.8.
- Jar Cannon fires greatbolts and receives no throwing-pot bonus. You still need the correct cookbook, materials and empty reusable container to craft a pot.
- Provides 10 poise and cannot be altered. Alexander gives it during his lava-lake conversation; it is separate from the shard and innards at his final duel. Killing him early loses the later quest rewards.
