Hey guys, a tip for those who hate spending countless minutes running back into the action after being killed.

Instead of spending hundreds of coins buying filled soul gems in order to revive yourself. Simply buy the empty gems for MUCH less.

From there you will be sure to equip the world skill "Soul steal" or whatever it's called. It is a spell that does a bit of magic damage but also traps the soul and fills the gem. *Be sure the enemy is the required rank for the gem* don't think you'll find a weaker enemy to fill the gem, won't work unless it's the required level for the skill.

From there you can use a point to upgrade it so that you can trap 2 souls from one enemy. Before you know it you will have many filled soul gems for a fraction of the cost. No more time wasted running back into the action.

Side note: the ability takes a slot in the action bar so just use it to fill your gems and then change it back to whatever you had before. Do these gem runs before starting a big mission, there are always monsters roaming about.

    even easier than that is to farm a small boss within a public dungeon. They spawn almost immediately after you kill them and they usually have a soul gem around their level in inventory. No skill points needed and you can get 100 or so in about 45 minutes
    Tl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.
