What is the difference in a human soul and creature soul? I'm doing the Azura's Star quest [The Black Star] and I was wondering which one would be better to take the star to.

A Black soul is equivalent to a grand soul.

Ok thanks. I'm thinking about getting the black soul gem one since the black soul gems are rare as it is. Thanks ChemicalSpectre

On but off topic, what the hell do you do with the soul gem fragments?

Hah good question cause I was wondering that as well.

EDIT: It would be cool if you could get enough fragments to make a gem.

would like to know that too..

I did that quest before alot information was out and I really regret my choise, I choose azuras star.. and its screwed me. You can only charge it with creature souls, Your not always fighting creatures. Most of the time its people, or undead of people, but never actually creatures. Most creatures are not powerful enough to fill azuras soul.. But all human souls are grand no matter how pathetic.they are.

I have chosen the star, and rarely if ever fill it up. I will soul tap while exploring. But you can't tap dragons.. Sabres dont do it. not laot of creatures except maybe like mamoths fill them. but killing a mamoth is scuicide. specially when a GIANT one shots me over a mountain..


So yeah. If i had it to do over. Black star 100% . I choose azuras, because you get a companion, plus im sort of roleplaying a good guy..

I have several empty grand soul gems, but when I kill guards it says no soul gem big enough?

People require black gems.

I found a soul fragment that added 30 mana to my mana bowl. Just click it to make it active, but no reason to make it a favorite.

I haven't looked yet so I don't know if it takes the place of an amulet. I'll have to check that later.
