      get umbra!!

    • October 12th, 2009 at 22:42 | #3

      to recharge soul gems you have to get your myctism to 25 and get a soul trap spell.Then you have to make sure that you have a soul gem.Then you have to use the soul trap spell on a creature and kill the creature while the spell is still active and the creatures soul will be transfered into your soul gem.

      Good wepons are found in the DB Quest line and the fighters gulid a few can be found in a place called the roxey inn go to level 15-20 and go start a firght and thell kill each other and their is all kinds Glass, Ebony , dwavren , and lower levels chain . but the best ones are in the sivering elises best bow is made frome maddness ore the best light aromor in the whole game is amber but the problem is getting it made for magiac wepons you need to find the modles but the same goes for the madness ore but it is worth the trouble trust me im level45 and im argonain and a arocbat so be carful if your a low level. amber can be found from the barkey creatures but DO NOT USE MAGICA on the or ull get no amber and let them attack you first the kill them YOU MUST USE A BLADE OR BLUT NO BOWS it will not work. hope this helps!

      So this goes for freak first and then bob.

      freak a good place for getting greater or grand soul gems is the arcane university. in the arch mage tower first floor there is a locked case with 3 grand soul gems. two dont have any soul traps and the third is a grand soul gem. for anyone starting the game get as many lockpicks as possible save in front of it and sit there and auto open as long as it takes to open them and remember to crouch while doing this so you dont get caught. then imediately doop the soul gem so that 1 you have more and 2 you remove the stolen flag from them.

    A good place to get some wepons is by pickepocketing some kights of the nine at the pirory but be warnerd thoes you steel form will not have thoes wepons when they go into combat. Also you can get a few relly good magica daggers form the DB buy completing the quest line by getting the blade of woe up grated and buy completing the quest were you drop the deer head on the high elf and not killing hie man severnt . The sin weve a elven caly more can be taken off of azzany BlackHeart in the fighters gulid quest line and a few other goo wepons are manly in thoes to quest lines so i hoped this answerd your question if not email me back i know were plenty more are!

    June 30th, 2009 at 20:55 | #29

    Freeak . the most effecnt way to get greate soul gems is from the magis gulid quest line their all over when fhitng the neromansers and some can be found in random dugnes and alayed runes all over

    And people if you need a permanent supply of lock picks, get the skeletal key. You won't lose any lockpicks as long as it is in your possession, you get it by doing the Noctural quest, I think.

    bob i will tell you this like i have told hundreds and hundreds before. the game is set up so that 1 out of every 365 weapons or armor are random. but you can find certain items in certain areas not locations but areas such as nibinay bay area the odds of finding the ring of perfection is about 10% higher here than say outside of anvil. the game is setup so that you explore for the items so you dont just beat the game because all the items are handed to you. with that said you can beat the game without magical items or cheats. ive done it hundreds of times. now for two really good set weapons i recommend the hatreds soul and hatreds heart. Check out one of my many videos on UTUBE. look up Chorrol Oblivion Gates Secret Items. you can only do this if you have not entered Camerons Paradise so if you want this wicked amazing bow & arrow set along with a wicked mace check it out.
