Living Jar Shard

Crafting material

About this crafting material

A fragment of a living jar, hardened after its death.

Material used for crafting items.

Such fragments command a high price due to the magical power locked within. This leaves the living jars unfortunate targets for poachers.

Starting Site of Grace: Secluded Cell

1. After defeating Margit, speak to Gostoc beside Stormveil's main gate and ask for the gate to be opened. This approach follows the main road, with heavy soldier and ballista fire, so heal before moving between its cover.
2. Pass through the gate and follow the uphill road into the central courtyard. Avoid the side passage with the Lion Guardian; it is unnecessary for the jars.
3. Cross the courtyard past the barricades and flamethrowers, climb its far stairs and activate Liftside Chamber in the nearby room. Rest here before continuing.
4. Return outside and take the eastern stairs toward the Troll and soldiers guarding the route to Godrick. Fight them or slip past, then continue through the doorway to Secluded Cell beside the boss approach.
5. From Secluded Cell, turn away from Godrick's mist and climb the uphill passage opposite it into the Living Jar room. Defeat the small jars and the large Warrior Jar, collect their glowing drops and rest at Secluded Cell to repeat.
6. The large jar has a guaranteed shard on its first defeat and a separate 20% base repeat drop at 100 Discovery. The small jars have a much lower 1% base chance. Godrick does not need to be defeated for this farm.

Notes

• Ironjar Aromatic needs three Living Jar Shards, two Altus Blooms and one Budding Cave Moss, along with Perfumer's Cookbook (3) and a Perfume Bottle.
• The large Living Jar beside Secluded Cell provides a guaranteed first shard and a separate 20% base repeat drop at 100 Discovery. Its small companions have a 1% base chance.
• Resting brings these hostile jars back, so the Stormveil group provides a renewable supply. A guaranteed first pickup does not mean the large jar guarantees one every later defeat.
• Other Living Jar groups have different loot chances. Do not apply the Stormveil large jar's rate to every small jar or every large jar elsewhere.
• You do not need to attack Alexander, Jar-Bairn or Jarburg's friendly jars. Their quests are separate, and Stormveil provides hostile targets without those consequences.
• The shards are crafting materials, not the finished defensive effect. An Ironjar Aromatic spends three of them each time, while its bottle becomes available again after use.
