I still have that 60K soul gem and am wondering what everyone has done with theirs? I would like some ideas so your feedback is greatly appreciated.

If you can work your enchantment skill and intelligence up very high, it's a superb soul gem for really complex or powerful spell combinations.

What does that mean?

i used the winged twilight soulgem to enchant a daedric katana. it does like 4-44 pts of damage without enchantment. the sword will hold 18 pts of enchantment. with an enchant skill of 100, i was able to put an Absorb Health touch for 45 pts, cast on strike for 1 pt of charge per cast. winged twilight gives 300 charges. so this sword now hits for 4-44 damage plus 45 from absorb health, and can do this 300 times before recharging. which is never really a factor since most things die within 4 or 5 whacks (dremora lords and golden saints included).

My only problem is I'm too chickensh*t to brave caverns I have not been asked to check out. Basically I am soo busy with quests and side quests that I am missing out on the personal openness explorative part of the game. But hey as long as you are having fun right? I would like to use that gem on a really cool weapon, but would someone explain recharging to me? How do weapons recharge?

recharging happens:
1. over time
2. using soulgems

i dont use soulgems to recharge my items since: an enchant skill of 100 makes use of any enchantment silly cheap.

24 hours of time ingame will recharge an item maybe 150 - 200 charges, i think

otherwise you should be able to take the charge value of a soulgem and charge up another item by that much
