Another Plea for Soul Gems

[Venar]

Yes, i have a fascination for the product of the Trap the Soul spell.
And mod 7 was really disapointing in that aspect: no new rituals with them, no larger Soul Bags.
I understand that the coding and balancing for their use is not easy, so i propose a few solution to appease the players, like me:


1-The REAL easy solution: cash
Tag a money value to them, so we can sell em. Right now, not only do they do nothing, but you actually can't even sell them. You need to destroy them. I mean, come on. You can sell +1 repair kits. You can sell regular gems. How is it that nobody in Stormreach is willing to buy a trapped soul? Add some good $$ value for them, to at least cover for the cost of the darn spell.

2- The classic solution: info
Just confirm/tell us, the players, that you have something in store for them. Like you did for horns. I don't want details. I don't care if it's for ring-crafting, spellcrafting, rituals, etc... Just tell me: Hey, Venar, hang out to those Soul essences, we have a plan for them.

3- A solution with a twist
Put in a colletor NPC, just like for collectables, that gives stuff for 3 weak essences, 2 regulars, or 1 strong essence. Not sure what kind of rewards yet.


Anything to keep my hopes up that i have not collected over 500 souls in vain...

Collecting souls are never in vain. You have a little soul army now imagine the damage you can reap when you let them all loose. Got to think outside of the goody two shoes mindset and into the one of the maniacal mad person.

[Venar]

maniacal mad person.

I think using the entire 3 bank pages for soul gems already puts me into that category.

Point taken.

[DelScorcho]

why don't you buy several trap the soul bags from the 12, and stack your existing stock into these bags. You can only keep one in your inventory, but you'd be able to keep multiples in your bank slot.

[Talon_Moonshadow]

I'd settle for being able to purchase the components so I could actually use the spell!
Right now it is completely useless for a Sor, and almost useless for a Wiz.

When I first read about trap the soul, I thought it was great. That lasted until it became obvious that the ingredient could not be bought, and could only be manufactured through tedious collection of khyber shards. I'd be happier if they dropped the idea of using it for crafting and made the components available for purchase.

Or leave the crafting in, but get rid of the ingredient requirement (or significantly lower it).

[Strumpoo]

Yes, Devs!


Please do something with this spell! Pleaaaaaase!

[tihocan]

They must have some plan for them, especially since there are different gems with various HDs. Wouldn't make sense otherwise.

[Venar]

Ya, but when i saw the new area collectable rewards (150) to get large bags of ingredient/collectable/gems but no souls, i got worried. Has this idea been forgotten?
