The Black Star usage

Post » Sat Jun 02, 2012 11:11 pm

My first post and i just wanna say im loving this game. Can't put the thing down and its became apparent that i actually talk and spend more time with Lydia than i do my wife. I play the game that much that when i do take a break to actually cook a meal for my family ( lol ) and open the cupboard to see potato's and cabbage, i remind my wife that the next time we go grocery shopping we need to buy leeks so i can make potato cabbage soup.

Great game, truly great game.

Anyways onto my topic about the Black Star. I have completed the quest to obtain the item in my inventory, its filled with soul but i can't use it. Well i can use it but then it disappears from my inventory. I heard that its re-usable and so can be used over and over, so what gives ? Am i doing something wrong ? Does it reappear in my inventory after a period of time ? Do i need to take it someplace else before i can get the option to reuse it ?

Sorry in advance for the newb question

Wow, that's a new bug. Are you judging whether it's there or not by the Enchanting station, or by looking in your inventory? Because it does need to be refilled every time you use the soul in it.

How are you using it?
You should be able to select it in the enchanting/recharging list and then it goes back into your inventory empty.
At least that is how I remember it working.

Luckily for me i had just saved before using the thing to enchant a bow. I had left the enchanting table and curiously looked into my misc section and its missing.

So is that the problem.. I can only use the thing to recharge my weapons ?

You can use to recharge or to make a weapon. It is probably just a glitch as I have made weapons with it and recharged weapons. The only difference is after it says the gem is empty.

Idk... maybe i overlooked it in my inventory as its pretty stacked with gems. I hope its not a glitch and its missing after its one and only use. Pretty lame !

thanks for the replies guys

This sounds like a glitch. I have used it at the enchanting table and yeah it disappears from your enchanting menu because it's no longer available, but it should still be in your MISC inventory afterward.
