If you are playing a good character and wish to save the maximum amount of souls instead of devouring them, acquiring brilliant spirit essences is incredibly hard.

 

What are the maximum opportunities to obtain brilliant spirit essences without using devour soul feat?

Not sure but I've never had a problem collecting enough essences. Rather the difference between what I can craft and what I can buy or collect as loot isn't necessarily big enough to make a difference. With the exception of a few specialized items (a bow for my archer) I don't craft all that much gear.

Technically, the amount is infinite. The creatures in Shadow Plane re-spawn every 1-2 days and yield spirit essences. If you rest at Myrkul's Vault, there's chance you'll be ambushed by undeads of all sort, so you can extract their spirit too.

I you don't want to sort to that kind of farming, the readily available sources are the urns and undeads wandering in the lower Vault. IIRC they will give you about 60 or so.

Yeah, I always have plenty left over.

There are no reappearing creatures in the shadow plane who drop soul essences, only power essences...

Yeah, I always have plenty left over.

I've tried to extract as much souls as possible from the Vault perhaps only once. The fighting is easy, but waiting 5 mnts for each fight is very very annoying.

No one is dropping spirit essences. You can get them from dialogue only six times through the campaign. For others, you'll have to extract from undeads and shadow creatures using Eternal Rest.

I've used the spirit of fire and Gnarlthorn essences but others like Myrkul's can't be used to make anything I actually want so I end up just putting them in a bag.

I never imagined you can actually finish the undead with devouring their spirits and gaining essences!

 

Just tried that on a vampire ancient and got myself two brilliant spirit essences! Which  undead drop which spirit essences? Wonder what would the Lich King or the nightwalkers have droped.. I already destroyed them..

[BoardGuest808888l]

I don't remember the detail, but IIRC, any undead you found roaming the Shadow Plane and upper section of Myrkul's Vault will yield volatile spirit essence. Any undead you found in the lower section of Myrkul's Vault will yield brilliant spirit essence.

The exception are;
Lich King, yield pristine spirit essence
Ankhriva, yield 2 brilliant spirit essences
High Priest of Myrkul, yield brilliant spirit essence
Head Scribe, yield brilliant spirit essence (if you get him through dialogue, you'll get a brilliant and several volatile spirit essences).
Rammaq, yield pristine spirit essence (I'm not quite remember tho)

The hardcoven exiled hags can not be tempted with devour spirit or eternal rest abilities. Is that true? How do you get the coven essence?

 

The slumbering coven hags can drop essences on their death according to walkthroughs, but there is no mention what the exiled hags drop...

[Artas1984]

Devouring the 9 hags of slumbering coven does not work. Invalid target error is displayed. What i am doing wrong or do not have??????????????

 

In the www.sorcerers.net walkthrough it is CLEARLY written that you devour the hags and get coven essences!

[BoardGuest808888l]

For the 9 hags, you need Devour Soul ability, not Devour Spirit. This also apply to exiled hags & hagspawns.
