Can you get both Azura's star and the Black Star?

No, you cannot get both Azura's Star and the Black Star through normal gameplay in a single playthrough because they are two different rewards for the same quest, "The Black Star," requiring you to choose one path over the other at the end; however, PC players can use console commands to obtain both. The Black Star is generally considered better as it can hold any soul (including human "black souls"), while the normal Azura's Star only holds white souls, though both are reusable infinite soul gems.

Is it better to keep Azura's star or Black Star?

Black star is the best. Always guaranteed to give a grand soul and humans are infinitely more common than having to go out and get a mammoth or giant (or go all the way through a dungeon for a deathlord) just for a guaranteed grand soul. Black star is guaranteed to give you grand nearly every time you fight a human.

Is it better to bring the star to Aranea or Nelacar?

For gameplay, giving the star to Nelacar for the Black Star is generally better because it easily traps powerful human (grand) souls, while giving it to Aranea yields the standard Azura's Star (only non-human grand souls); however, choosing Aranea unlocks her as a powerful mage follower, making it a choice between utility (Black Star) and companionship (Aranea).

What happens if I give Azuras Star to Martin?

You get Azura's Star as a reward. DO NOT GIVE THE STAR TO MARTIN. Martin will destroy the artifact you give him - and Azura's Star might actually be the best item in the entire game, regardless of build. If that's all you needed to hear, you can stop reading.

Who is best to give the star of Azura to?

You should bring Azura's Star to either Aranea Ienith (for the standard, good Azura's Star and a follower) or Nelacar (for the more powerful, "evil" Black Star that traps sentient souls) in Skyrim, a choice that depends on your character's morality and gameplay preference for reusable soul gems.

What is the most powerful soul gem in Skyrim?

What is the most powerful soul gem in Oblivion?

The strongest soul gems in Oblivion for raw capacity are the Grand Soul Gem and Black Soul Gem, both holding 1600 charges for the most powerful souls. However, the truly best and most powerful is Azura's Star, a unique artifact that functions as a rechargeable Grand Soul Gem, meaning it never breaks and can be used infinitely for enchanting and recharging. Black Soul Gems are excellent for capturing human/NPC souls, while Azura's Star can hold any creature soul up to Grand level and be reused, making it the ultimate choice for sustained enchanting.

Does the Black Star count as a Daedric artifact?

Yes, the Black Star absolutely counts as a Daedric artifact in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and counts towards the "Oblivion Walker" achievement, just like its counterpart, Azura's Star, counts for the "Daedric Influence" achievement. Both choices in Azura's Daedric quest give you a usable artifact from Azura, the Daedric Prince, making either one valid for the achievement, though the Black Star is generally considered more useful in gameplay.

What is the point of Azura's star?

Azura's Star is a special, reusable Grand Soul Gem in The Elder Scrolls games that traps the souls of slain creatures (white souls) for enchanting or recharging items, without breaking like normal soul gems.

No, regular soul gems in Skyrim are single-use and break after capturing a soul or recharging an item, but Azura's Star (or its darker version, The Black Star) is a unique, reusable soul gem you get from a Daedric quest that can capture any soul type and be refilled infinitely.

How many souls can Black Star hold?

The Black Star, from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, acts as an infinite soul gem, holding only one soul at a time but never being destroyed, allowing for endless recharging of enchanted items; it's highly valued because it can capture black souls (from humans), which are always Grand, making enchanting much easier than farming white Grand souls from rare creatures like Mammoths. While described as only holding black souls, it can actually capture any soul type, but players prefer its consistent Grand soul capability.

Can Azura's star be reused?

Can you get the skull of corruption without killing Erandur?

No, in the standard Skyrim gameplay of the "Waking Nightmare" quest, you cannot get the Skull of Corruption and keep Erandur as a follower; it's an either/or choice where you must kill him to claim the Daedric artifact, or let him destroy it to recruit him, though glitches or console commands (PC) might offer alternatives. To obtain the skull, you must betray Erandur's wish for redemption and kill him when Vaermina demands it, but if you want the artifact for completion or power, killing him is the only intended path.

Does Auriel's bow count as a Daedric artifact?

No, Auriel's Bow isn't technically a Daedric artifact; it's an Aedric artifact of Akatosh, but with the Unofficial Skyrim Patch (USKP) installed, it counts towards the "Oblivion Walker" achievement because it's a powerful unique item from the Dawnguard DLC. Without the patch, it doesn't count, as the achievement requires artifacts from Daedric Prince quests, but the USKP fixes this for the achievement's sake, making it a key item for completionists.
