I know SkyRe added the use of an Alembic with the Perk " Field Alchemy". They can be crafted but I have seen them for sale as well, for a cost of 4K, or something. However, I came across a mortar and pestle from a merchant for 88g. I purchased it as I it was cheep and I thought I may need it for when I get the perk.

To my surprise, it alone allows one to use as a regular Alchemy lab, in the field.

Surely, this isn't part of either mod... is it?

I know Frostfall was designed to be integrated with SkyRe but I don't know what mod could be implementing this. It kind of goes against the grain for needing the perk.

Can anyone give some insight on this?

It is Frostfall that added it. Frostfall also has other portable tools included as well (Cooking Pot, Enchanting Tools, etc).

Ahhh... I wonder why it wasn't noted as a craftable? hmmm...

I just put together the Enchanting Supplies. I have just about everything else for it. I am truly loving it all.

Still, I must ask if this was meant to be part of the SkyRE merger or if the selling of the M&P was left in by accident?
