i just wanted to know where i can get Essences like Arcane Essence and Sonic Essence. hope some 1 can fill me in a little.

appreciate the help

Sigil Stones.

Get some, put 'em in the Arcane Assimilator and hit seperate.

If you already did the main quest, closing all Oblivion gates, then do the Midas quest for the Prime Morpholith to gain the spell to open gates to Oblivion at will.

If you need more info consult the books Midas has in his shop.

Indeed this quest can be done at any time, providing you can beat the 'guardian'
Is a good way to get sigil stones without even need to start the main quest.

Call me grumpy old lady, but that was something he should've begun with

um where is the arcane assimulater cause i thought u ment the aurum assimulater and i put a descendent sigil stone in and nothing happend and i lost the sigil stone ugh what happend lol?
