Questions About Soul Gems.

Post » Sun Dec 11, 2011 10:54 pm

I havent been able to fill a grand soul gem yet, ive read that human souls are grand souls but when i try to capture them it says i dont have a soul gem large enough, but im carrying 4 grand soul gems.

Also i was wondering about filling soul gems, sometimes i capture a soul but i dont have the correct type of soul gem for it so i end up with a common soul in a greater soul gem, is it possible to slowly fill up a larger soul gem with a bunch of smaller souls?

Or is whatever soul that get trapped in that gem is the only one that will go in?

human souls can only be captured in a black soul gem or the black azura star

Black Soul gems can hold human souls, not simple Grand Soul gems..

Also you can only get one soul in one soul gem... If you fill a Greater one with a Common soul then you just wasted that Soul gem's potential :)

My bow has soul trap on it and that problem happens to me a lot: Grand or Greater Soul Gems with Common or even Petty souls... sigh...

Grand Soul gems hold Grand souls... i'm not exactly sure what enemies, but the thoughest ones are the Grand ones obviously... Except dragons, their souls can't be collected in the gems.

Draugrs, werewolfs,Giants count as grand, oddly enough draugrs don't count as human souls

Im pretty sure Draugrs are either common or lesser, ive captured a ton of them and they definitely arent grand....

Mammoths give grand soul gems. Maybe some higher level draugr give them too, but be careful when fighting a mammoth since they will most likely aggro the rest of the heard.
