This does mean you waste some souls, but personally I prefer that to wasting gems. Either way, you still have to have a good idea of a/ what empty gems you have and b/ what kind of soul the thing you're killing has.Īnother possibility is a mod such as Acquisitive Soul Gems (available both here and the Nexus, I think) which limits the gems to the appropriate sized soul. An alternative is to have a second weapon (not enchanted, or with a different enchantment such as fire) for when you've used up all your low-quality soul gems. If you are a Guild member, picking the locks and taking the gems will not count as a crime.Well, the advantage of using the soul trap spell is you can make sure you only use it on things that have the right kind of souls for your larger gems, the disadvantage (for me) is that you have to remember to use it at the right time (I think it works for a few seconds, but I usually either forget, or cast it right when I'm attacking, and sometimes it wears off before they die).


Mostly you have to find them while adventuring, but starting this quest places 3 of them in nearby dungeons which would have been previously unavailable prior to starting the Vampire Cure quest.įrom the Wiki page, places that always have an empty Grand Soul Gem: The walkthrough for the Vampire Cure quest on the UESP Wiki gives locations.
