Colovian Brandy

Colovian Brandy is a costly drink tied to the main quest Diplomatic Immunity, restoring Stamina and briefly improving prices.

Colovian Brandy is an expensive bottle of spirits, valued at 100 gold, that plays a small but memorable part in the main quest Diplomatic Immunity. It should not be confused with Cyrodilic Brandy, which is a different drink.

Effects

  • Restores 25 Stamina.
  • You haggle for 20% better prices for 30 seconds.
  • Stamina regenerates 30% slower for 30 seconds.

The price bonus is unusual for a drink, so a bottle saved for later can be opened just before selling a large haul to a merchant.

Where to find it

You come by a bottle during Diplomatic Immunity. Handing it to Razelan sets up the distraction that lets you slip away. If you give him an ordinary bottle of wine instead, you can keep the brandy and take it home.

Once the quest is over, another bottle sits on a table in the upstairs bedroom of Elenwen‘s Solar, if you go back into the building.

Good to know

  • Asking Brelas or Malborn for a bottle while you already carry one gets you a refusal; they will not hand out a second one.

Where to find it

  • Given during the main quest Diplomatic Immunity; keep it by giving Razelan ordinary wine instead.
  • One bottle in the upstairs bedroom of Elenwen’s Solar after the quest.
