Filling Soul Gems

Thaladar

Do you have to be a minimum level to fill an empty soul gem? Or does just the creature you are killing have to be in the correct level range?

For example, I am trying to fill empty Minor Soul Gems, which are level 10-19. I am level 8, but fighting level 10-12 creatures and they won't fill. I had no trouble filling Petty Soul Gems on lower level creatures, so just wondering if I can't fill these until I'm 10th level as well.

Are you sure that you are killing them when the soul Trap Effect is still up?

I'm fairly certain Soul Trap was still up, since these guys were dying in less than 10 seconds. I led with Soul Trap and they were dying in 3-4 seconds since I was with a groupmate.

If this is supposed to work, then it's a bug because it isn't. I'm just wondering if this behavior is by design.

It needs to be an humanoid.

Does it? Are you 100% sure?

No it doesn't. I often use mud-crabs.

It doesn't need to be human, put your soul trap on the skill bar and hit it during just before it's hit points disappear.
