[edit] Major Renovation

Alright, for the past week or so, I've been working on this page. I finished up today, now this is obviously a major rework, but it could still use a large amount of improvement. Basically, I cut the bad and wikified the good. I didn't add all that much, and I know there is plenty of stuff to still add. So don't be afraid to add onto the page. In any case, there were a few 'Hints' that didn't really fit on this page, but other pages may or may not need them. I put them on a page Morrowind:Hints/Unused. I also archived this talk page, as the major changes make most of the comments on the old page irrelevant. --Ratwar 01:11, 2 March 2007 (EST)

[edit] Alchemy

I think you should at least mention the intelligence part of the alchemy trick. --^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Duncans pumpkin (talk • contribs).}

I think that tip belongs on an alchemy page. I mean, I see this page as a general hints page. Of course, thinking about it, there are several hints that already exist on the page about specific skills, but those are all about 'training' skills. Perhaps the best way to handle it is to have a specific section about the merits of high intelligence, as it is capable of interesting effects in both alchemy and enchanting. I'll sleep on it.--Ratwar 18:45, 4 March 2007 (EST)

[edit] Sneak section comment

There is a comment about the Xbox shutting down automatically. This never happened to me. Perhaps there is a setting to automatically shut down the original Xbox (there is on the 360), but I've not seen it. --Edwin Herdman 06:20, 17 March 2007 (EDT)

I've played it on the original x-box, and I've never had the problem either, but since I was totally sure, I left it in there. I never tried it either. --Ratwar 15:59, 25 March 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Conjuration for Fun and Profit

From my experience, if you can kill a summoned weapon-wielding critter in [2-4, not sure exactly] hits, you can grab its weapon and shield before it disappears. I'm fairly sure that as long as it hasn't drawn a weapon, you can do this, but if it HAS, it seems to crash the game. (Note: Hit count includes spells) -Abramul

[edit] Offered for inclusion on main hints page

game winning weaponary?

early on in the game steal the loaded soul gems from balmora mages guild (you get the perfect skill-free opportunity to do this during first few mages quests here). Go to the imperial shrine at Wolverine Hall and buy the "absorb health" spell. Find a weapon that can take a bit of enchantment and go to caldera, sell a few of the soul gems to Creeping to pay for enchantment and go to an enchanter- have him put absorb health when stikes on the weapon. This helps you take on characters way above your level, as each time you strike your health gets topped up directly from their health. As a lower level player you may not be able to access weapons that take much of a charge, but a lower charge weapon will help you get a slightly higher charge one and so on. The highest charge weapon that I have found to take the spell is a daedric dai katana and that absorbs a few dozen points of health in addition to its own damage, this means that things like ascended sleepers take 2-4 blows to kill, and any damage they do to you is automatically replaced with each strike. KL Does any one else use this? is there a weapon that will take a bigger charge than the dai Katana? peace and love, KL 03-08-07 the ebony staff has 90 charges (me)12-13-07

[edit] Getting Drunk to Recover Magicka

If you are having trouble getting restore magicka potions, and you dislike resting for days... drink a few bottles of Sujamma. This drink increases your strength by 50 but drains your intelligence by 50 as well. Just reduce your intelligence to 0 and wait for the drink to wear off. After the minute duration, your intelligence will be completely restored and you'll have full magicka again. -Kilana

[edit] Use Spears to Improve Your Mage's Endurance

Since Heavy armor is too heavy and Medium armor is useless in later levels, Spears are the best way to increase your mage's Endurance. Also, it might be a good idea to make endurance one of your favored attributes to max out your endurance as quickly as possible. BretonRock 23:13, 10 February 2008 (EST)
