1. Best place to get souls is to cast Soul Trap on an enemy. When they die, you get their soul.

2. Dragon Bone/Scales are used to create Dragon armour. You'll get a ton of it though, so selling the early stuff is a good way of getting some early gold.

3. Go to blacksmiths to sell weapons/armour, bars to sell food/drink etc...generally if you can buy something there, you can sell it.

Thanks bro. Whats soul trap though? Is that a spell that i can learn? if so where do i learn it from?

Thanks again for replying

Soul Trap is a spell you can learn that when cast on an enemy traps their soul for enchanting. its used for recharging the magic items you might have like a fireball staff or something.

AFAIK you have to learn it from a book. dont know if its random though or is there a specific person you buy it off once you hit a certain level or something like that.

havent used it myself just if u need it

Kiith

If that's the official guide, I'd remove it if i were you. Pretty sure it's against the rules.

As for Soul Trap, you can get it off any Conjuration trainer i think. It's a Novice level spell.

Souls trap is a spell and also a possible weapon enchantment.
Basically, if an enemy dies within 60 seconds of you casting the spell, it's souls gets trapped into one of your souls gems. This 'filled' souls gem can then in turn be used to power enchanted items. The soul trap'd enchanted weapons usually allow you to trap a soul if you kill it with the final blow of the enchanted weapon.
When you power an enchanted item with a filled souls gem then it's used and gone forever, except the soul gem

called Azura's star.

I'm almost certain it's in this game,

which is a souls gem the only empties when used, and can be refilled with new souls.

So far, nothing.

Hmm, if you killed the owner of the Orphanage before talking to the kid, i'm not sure how that will work. But below is a video on how to find the kid.

Where can I get meself some elven arrows? Are they any use? Is there any option to make arrows anywhere? I've got dwarven ones, which are my best just now, want to see if I can get better!

Ebony or Deadric arrows are the bestest.

But I get all my arrows from the Drunken Huntsman in Whiterun.

Glass arrows all the way, but keep some Ebony & Deadric ones for really tough enemies.

I make my own bow's too, currently have a glass fire damage bow and a glass fire damage dagger, that's all i use.

Haven't found any weapons better than the ones I can make myself yet.

Kiith

Rocking an Ebony bow myself. Pretty damn good, but i've yet to enchant it. I've yet to enchant anything actually. Should probably stick some on my Shrouded set.

Zero-Cool

My God this is slightly epic :pac: When I got out of the cave at the start, yer man says we should split up and ran off so I went a different way. I found Riverwood but remember reading about coming across statues at the start for a blessing so I backtracked but no statues. I did a quick lookup and saw I should have stayed with him until I came to the sign post. Hope I don't miss too much, I have a tend to walk straight past important things.

Bit overwhelmed with all the names being thrown at me about the war and sides but loving the world. Can't wait to lash into it some more.

Are you playing on PC by any chance and Innnocence lost is still in your active quest list?

If so then presuming the quest id and quest stage numbers on the wiki here are correct, then open the console command line and type.

setstage DB01 200.

And if nothing happens after you next sleep
then this should kick the next part

setstage DB02 0


Since you have already killed her its not even cheating

Hmmm, see I specialized on the Light Armour side of the smithing tree, I could get an Ebony Bow somewhere, but it wouldn't be as good as my Legendary Glass one!

Dammit, I might have to sink more perk points into Smithing now.

I am spread too thinly already on the skill trees.
Archery, Stealth, Smithing, Speak have the most, and I have a few others scattered around the place, nothing in One Handed, Two Handed or either Armours, and I'm level 37.

Ever wanted to see 40 Stormcloaks take on 2 Druagr Overloards? Or how about 4 Giants vs. a Dwarven Centurion Master? Then look no further!

Doesn't that mean ... you're working for

the player-character from Oblivion? Since he\she took over from Sheogorath in the Shivering Isles

expansion?

Or did they bother with that at all...

Speaking of Daedra though, I really like the Boethiah quest starting task. Really nasty.

Was doing one of the Dark Brotherhood Quests last night.

The one where you have to kill the Emperor's cousin. I stuck an arrow in her booby and started to leg it, only to be collared by four guards. One of the guards spoke to me and told me I'd to pay a fine of 40 gold - after which I was scot free. I was kind of hoping for a row

Have to say, I was mightily disappointed with that.:(

Then again, apart from Lydia walking up behind me and standing in doorways of rooms i enter so I can't get out, that's the only complaint I have had on this game.

Love it when you one-shot some lads and then just take the arrow back out for the next lad .

It annoys me too, but all you need to do is walk further into the room so they follow you and free up the door for ya.

Have decided to start exploring and leave the main quests for a while as my Boyfriend just started playing, hasn't really done much of the main quests and is nearly at the same level as me haha!

Truly loving this game, it's so much better than Oblivion!

I got a 2400 bounty on my head for that.

They chased me for ages, I had to jump off a cliff to escape, and plummet down into the river below, and they were still firing arrows at me as I swam to freedom.

Ended up going to Jail for that crime a few days later, and escaped, as I was leaving the prison, I emerged in a courtyard full of gaurds, and they wanted the 2400 paid.

Silly me for thinking that if I went to prison and escaped then the 2400 would be written off. So I paid the damn fine.
