Empty Spice Jars are Quest items.
Quest relevance[]
The Empty Spice Jar is used for daily quests. The NPC in that area offers the player some spice after the player finds the jar in the area.
- Steamport City daily jar quest: ED0001
- Hatchwood Wilds daily jar quest: LL0001
- Ridgeback Highlands daily jar quest: BS0001
Known Glitch[]
It is possible to force all the jar locations in Steamport City to spawn jars (83 in total). This has no known practical purpose however, as Rook Edwards' quest will not end, even if you collect the 'real' jar, and if the quest is abandoned, all collected jars will vanish from your inventory.
The glitch was fairly unreliable, and was only achieved using an Aeronaut. It was done by following these instructions:
Inventory holding Steamport City's full compliment of 83 empty spice jars
- Without collecting the quest, drop into the room below Rook Edwards.
- Immediately fly back through the ceiling, holding and then rapidly tapping up – the quest screen should open twice.
- Accept quest – you should then be stuck viewing the second quest screen which appears to be trying to load and failing to do so. If the second quest screen is not stuck, the glitch will not work.
- Press M and leave Steamport City, then return to any drop point.
