The '''Cauldron of Jordan''' is a [[UI]] element designed to replace the now-defunct [[Scroll of Wealth]] function.

[[Image:Cauldron_of_jordan.jpg|frame|left|Cauldron in the UI.]]

The Cauldron of Jordan is awarded from a quest early in the game, which allows players to sell items while in the field for vendor cost. Specifics on this are not know, as an example, will the player get the full item value as if they returned to town, or will there be a depreciation?
Not much else is known currently about the Cauldron. It was announced during the late-July press event in 2011.

 <blue>So we’ve decided to remove the Cauldron of Jordan and Nephalem Cube. They were implemented to allow for salvaging and selling items when there was no quick and easy way to return to town. Now that the Stone of Recall exists, we found that keeping the Cauldron and Cube in the game detracted from the benefits of returning to town to sell items, salvage, craft, and interact with the townsfolk. It’s a good idea to break up combat so that players have a moment to evaluate their gear and crafting options before venturing back out. In addition, we’ve decided to just call it what it is and the Stone of Recall is now Town Portal, and is integrated directly onto the skill bar UI.</blue>

	Prior to that, the CoJ was an interface item that players could use to sell items while in the field, instead of having to return to town and use the [[NPC]] merchants. Sale prices were identical to that paid in town, and items sold via the CoJ could even be recovered via the [[buyback]] feature, in case of a misclick or other form or regret.
