its not really that rare. If you wanted to actually go find it it wouldnt be that hard. I just grab them on my jurneys and ive gotten about 40 without ever actively looking for them. Side note they tend to be near water. Also you will find them in some stores/homes/mage guilds. And remember plants re-grow! The quest really isnt worth an active search though, just go about your adventure and pick them up when you happen to come across them.
Ah crap, didnt have time to edit..
Is there an in-game Printscreen button? I tried pressing the normal printscreen, but it wasnt letting me screencap itdammit
And does the game let you use downloaded save files? Cause I was thinking if the printscreen thing didnt work, maybe I could share my file to my friends so they could see my character....
When you have an empty Soulgem, kill an NPC or whatever, then use Soultrap spell and take their soul into your gem, then when you're enchanting items and stuff, the rating of your soulgem is the rating of your enchanted item. So if you have a lesser Soulgem, your enchanted item wont be as good than if you used a Greater Soulgem.

Ok, well any ingrediants that can make poison? Besides poison apples.
Any potion created with all negative affects is classified as a poison. Just one positive affect turns it into a potion. I reccomend having a high alchemy skill so that you can see more effects of ingredients.

Here we go. I couldn't find the link, but I had it saved on a Word document.*SPOILERS* To anybody who doesn't want the cure for vampirism quest spoiled for them, DO NOT READ THIS. *SPOILERS*
---------------------------------------------------------------------Spoiler:
Prerequisit: Before starting off on your journey to curing your vamiprism, I highly reccomend you join the Theives guild. You will be doing alot of sneaking, lockpicking, pickpocketing, and stealing. You will level up in the Theives guild which will make this easier, and most importantly, you will have access to all the lockpicks you could want via fences. They have 100 to sell you each day, and your going to need them. Also, you can clear your bounties in the theives guild for cheap, and not loose your stolen goods. Since your going to risk getting caught alot, this will come in handy.Quest - A cure for Vampires
There are a number of ways to iniate this quest. Here is how I did it: I went to Cheydinhal's Chapel of Arkay, though any chapel should do. Talk to someone in there about a cure. They will start you on the quest. The first step in the quest is to talk to Raminus Polus about a cure. You can find him in the Arcane University located in Impereal City. He will tell you a bit about it, and refer you to Count Hassildor. You can find him in Skingrad. Talk to his stuard, then eventually he will talk to you. He will tell you about how he and his wife are vampires, and while he lives with it, she could not, and went into a coma. He needs the cure to get her out. He then tells you about witches long ago who could do it, and about one of them which may still be alive.
Y
ou can find the witch along the Corbolo river, which is east of the Impereal City. Here is where the fun begins. Before she will help you, you have to help her. She requests you bring her five empty grand soul gems. These are tough to find, and this is where your Thieves guild work is going to come in handy. Before working on this, go get some lockpicks from your fence.Gem Zero: The first gem is by far the easiest one. Enter Melisandale's house during night when she's asleep. Sneak over to the secret hatch and enter the basement. There you will find one gem.
Gem One: This one will require a bit of work, but it's not too hard, there's a mine north-east of Melisandale's house, go in there to the end and there's a soul gem there. The only things in there are a single skeleton, a few dogs and some bandits; nothing you can't handle just fine!
Gem Two: This is an easy one. Go to the Impereal City Market District. Find the Mystique shop. He has one gem for sale. Four to go.
Gem's Three - Five: Your lockpicking skills better be up to snuff now. Head to Arcane Univerity. Best to go at night, you will be theifing. Go inside, and on the first floor there is a chest with three Gems inside. All are Grand gems, but I believe two of them are not empty. Take them all wayways. Its a level 5 lock, so your going to have to work at it, but its worth the effort. Make sure no one sees you. Once you get it open, take them all.
Gem Six: Head to the Chorral Mage's Guild. Inside, there is a staircase, and display cases to the left and right. The one to the right looks tempting, three gems inside. None are grand though, save your picks. The one the left has one though. It's another level 5 lock, so good luck to you. Once you get this, you have five, but two probably aren't empty. No matter, the hard part should be over.
Gem Seven: Head to the Bruma Mage's Guild now. Walk straight in and slightly to the left into their little shop. If the shopkeep isn't there, wait for her. When she comes back, barter with her. She's got an empty gem. If you don't have money, you can try to pickpocket it off her, but I found it easier to just buy it.
Gem Eight: Head to the Cheydenhol Guild now. To your left and down the stairs, talk to the shopkeep. Same as before, buy it, or try and pick it from her if you wish. Congradulations, you now have your five emptys, and your probably a pro at lockpicking by now.
Go visit Melisande again now. She will take your gems, but you aren't done yet. She says she can probably make the cure, but you need a slew of ingreadiants. She asks you to find six Garlic Cloves, five Nightshade Leaves, 2 BloodGrass Shoots, The Blood of an Argonian, and the dust of the vampire Hindaril. Collect the first three items first. Much like the gems, this can be quite tedious. Below you will find locations for all the ingreadiants you need.
Garlic Cloves: These are fairly easy to find. Many Alchemy shops, Inns, and Mages Guilds have them. Just work your way from shop to shop until you have six. I know that the Alchemy shop in the Impeareal City has one. I also found two in an Inn in Chorral, and they restock every few days. This should not be to hard.
Nightshade: This proved to be the hardest. First, head to Impereal City, to the same Alchemy shop you got your Garlic. She should have two. After a few days, she will restock one more. After that, she will have no more. That gives you three. A fourth one can be found from the shopkeep in the Corral Mages Guild. Go purcahse that. That leaves one more, or two if you do not feel like waiting a few days for the Impereal City shop to restock. For these you will be hearding to Cheydinhal. Quick travel to the west gate, and then exit the city through the west gate. Turn to your left and follow the cities wall until it ends. Now look to your left, you should see a large right with a tree to the right of it. Next to that tree, you will find a Nightshade plant. To your left, there is a lake, and you should see some old pillars across the lake. Swim across to them. Now face South, and follow the edge of the lake until you come to a tree with small rocks on either side. You will find a couple different plants up against the tree, one of which will be Nightshade. (I bought these from a few stores.)
BloodGrass: This is the easiest part of your quest. The Alchemy shop in Impereal City has four, so buy two of them, and your done. If you are feeling like that was to easy, this stuff is all over Oblivion. Enter a gate and grab some. Your choice. (I bought these, too.)
Blood of an Argonian: Melisande gives you a special dagger or this. You don' need to kill them, just give thema good stab and hide so the gaurds don't nab you. For those of you who don't know, an Argonian is the lizard looking people.
Hindaril's Vampire Dust: If you are at a decent level by now, this should be a breeze. At level 5, this was a cakewalk. Go to the location on your map. It is pretty straightforwared navigating your way there. Once inside the cavern, you will have a few things to pick off before you get to your vampire. I ran into a few rats, a few skeltons, and two lesser vampires before I got to him. I made short work of them all. Hindaril was the easiest of them all though. He did not use a weapon at all, he tried to kill me with his fists. I made short work of him. Maybe I just got lucky, but this was far from difficult.
So, you now have everything. Take it all back to Melisandre. She will tell you she can prepare the cure, and to come back in 24 hours. This is it. Go enjoy your last night as a Vampire. Feast on everyone you can get your bloody hands on. Then go take a nap. The next day, pay your friend a visit again. The cure will be done. Feel free to drink it. You are now officially cured, but your quest isn't over. Remember the count? Head back to Skingrad and pay him a visit. You will be taken to the place where his wife rests. Melisandre will be there also. After a bit of dialouge, he gives her the cure, but it kills her. He requests you give him 24 hours to greive. Go back into the Count's Mansion and just wait for 24 hours. Same as before, talk to the Count. He will thank for you putting his wife at ease, and reward you with 5000 gold. The quest is now officially complete. Congradulations!----------------------------------------------------------------
Should help. 😄
It sure does help a lot! I'm half way through this quest. But damn! because I'm sensitive to sunlight I can only go out at night time to complete this quest. I'm currently out of lockpicks and my level is too low. I'll work more on it. That reward is awesome! 😄
Use magical weapons with draining abilities, I know you can get some damn good ones by completing some dark brotherhood quests ^^
Have anyone gotten cast out of the dark brotherhood, and later woken up with a nasty spirit by your bed? I know I have 😄
And how much gold do you guys usually have? I carry around 10000 or more

Oh, damn... I don't know if there was something different in my game, or if whoever wrote this made a mistake, but instead of getting
Spoiler:😬
5,000 gold, I only got 1,000.
It will be interesting to see what you get though; maybe I did something different, or maybe if I was a higher level, I would have gotten more? I don't know...
EDIT: @ Icepunk: Currently I have just below 80,000 gold. Around 78,000 I believe. 😎

Go to Anvil. There's a house there for 5,000 gold.
You have to complete a small quest to officially own it (you know, destroy the evil spirits living there. That sort of thing) but I'd highly recommend it.
