Recipes

Find the recipes at any Smelter (Smelters were chosen to prevent skill gain).

  • regular gems (Amethyst, Diamond, etc.) can be ground for Gem Dust
  • more expensive gems yield more Dust
  • empty soul gems grind into 2/3 as much Dust as they need to be made (pettys cost 3 to make but grind into 2, grands cost 15 and grind into 10, and so on...)
  • crafting better Soul Gems requires Enchanting skill (no perks):
    • 20 to make Lessers
    • 40 for Commons
    • 60 for Greaters
    • 80 for Grands

Black Soul Gems

There are six Black Altars added to the game world. You'll find them mostly in Necromancer dungeons, where they replace the vanilla Arcane Enchanters.

  • Ilinalta's Deep
  • Kilkreath
  • Hag's End
  • Tel Mithryn
  • Ansilvund
  • Castle Volkihar

Only necromancers can craft Black Soul Gems! Crafting one at a Black Altar uses a Grand Soul Gem and requires 80 Enchanting skill, 60 Conjuration skill, and that you know the spell Revenant. They can only be made during the night, between the hours of 9:00 PM and 6:00 AM (the recipe will not appear without all of these conditions met).
