[edit] Where Can I Find One?

Where specificly can i find one of those Grand Soul gems? I have been looking but i havent found any. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.105.250.1581 (talk • contribs).

If you don't mind (possibly) stealing, there is a filled Grand Soul Gem in the main lobby of the Arcane University. It's in a display case. If you are in the Mage's Guild, I believe most, if not all, the Mage's Guild shops have an empty Grand Soul Gem for sale. You can also find them randomly in the world, depending on your level. --^Darkle ~ _Talk 17:56, 25 February 2009 (EST)

You can find some in this Ayleid ruin. They are not random (I think) so they'll always be there (they're in the last room). If you don't want to meet all the Daedra, there's a secret entrance that leads directly into the last room (if you're looking for empty Grand Soul Gems for Vaermina's Daedric quest, don't go to Ceyatatar since the soul gems there are already filled). Update: Good news! You don't even need to be a member of the Mages Guild to buy an empty Grand Soul Gem; I bought mine in Cheydinhal Mages Guild.

There are no guaranteed Grand Soul Gems in Ceyatatar. For a list of guaranteed and likely locations, see this. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 11:13, 22 March 2009 (EDT)

[edit] Adding picture(s)?

Just wanted to note that there are no pictures of soul gems on this page, let alone one of each type. Chunk of Ham 03:53, 22 March 2009 (EDT)

Done. Although since four of the five types share the same model, it's not as interesting as you might expect. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 03:24, 23 March 2009 (EDT)

[edit] Lesser soul gems being automatically created

every time I put a filled lesser soul gem it creates an equal amount of empty lesser soul gems not sure what mod or patch is causing this. It seems to make it so if I have 25 full soul gems then when 2 go in it makes up the difference and so I have 27 empty lesser gems regardless how many empty ones are in there Mrp8196 04:35, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Soul Gems restocking

Should I put something in on this page about soul gems restocking, since right now it looks like the only place to find this is on the Soul Trap page ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 97.102.109.201 (talk • contribs) on 16 September 2009.

Good idea, the article could benefit from a Acquiring Soul Gems sections. It would be best to give general tips on the acquisition of the gems (especially the higher qualities) instead of a long list of locations. Such lists already exist, but it would be a good idea to link to them:

• Oblivion:Dungeons, a list of dungeon types. The individual articles will provide tables with chances of Soul Gems appearing in containers
• Category:Oblivion-Miscellaneous Merchants, a list of merchants who sell Miscellaneous Items (including Soul Gems).

[edit] Not supposed to be a lot of Soul Gems?

I'm having a really hard time coming across these things. Are you not supposed to be able to enchant every item you want and it's intentional to be difficult to find Soul Gems? --DerSquirrel 07:01, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

As you can see above, a section detailing the good places to acquire Soul Gems would be a welcome addition to this article. Soul Gems are not as rare as you experience, but they can be a bit tricky to find if you don't know where to look. See the two links I've provided above for good places to start your search. --Timenn-<talk> 15:30, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
