    For New players it's a good idea to save outside of the main entrance to Balmora. After doing that you can check all the crates around town , sometimes you can find really nice items from scrolls to weapons and soul gems. If you don't see anything that you like you can revert back to the save made at the entrance gate.

    Alternatively, to open the door to the daedric weapon quest giver buy an "unhinge" scroll when you're in Seyda Neen then savescum using the scroll until the door opens. Useful for folks who didn't pick security as a major skill.

    This is a very meh and slow start. The kind someone new to the game would make.
    1. Stealing is slow, I don't even bother taking stuff from the excise office, it's at most 600 and you'll be leaving Seyda Neen with at least 2k anyways.
    2. Take fargoths ring as it's required for the tutorial, give it to him, then talk to the guy who wants you to find his stump, then run to where tarhiel falls and grab mushrooms along the way. On the coast near tarhiel is a dead tax man, grab his stuff then run towards Seyda Neen. In one of the shacks you'll first encounter is a dark elf that killed the tax man, kill him then report to the tax man. You don't have to give the initial amount you found this way. Climb up the light house and take the book at the top of the stairs and wait till 10pm for fargoth to do his dance and rob his stump. You can sell the tax mans ring and the book putting you to over 2k. Then go for the alchemy set and all vendors who sell ingredients in stacks of 5 or 10 restock those ingredients. Don't use the guy in caldera as it's his alchemy set you stole. Saidrith Mora imperial shrine has a guy who sells mats for fort int and fort stamina, and the dude with him sells fort health and personality mats. Enjoy being a god in 15 minutes.
    3. Why would you sell the Orc armor if you said to pick medium armor? It's like the second best medium armor set in the base game. Light armor is the most superior early game, especially because of the dark brotherhood attack around your first 3 levels. (I always seem to get it at level 2.)

    • @PTMG
      @PTMG  4 місяці тому

      1. it's not that slow, and you aren't leaving seyda neen with 2k unless you steal
      2. Not sure why you typed all this when I explained all this
      3. Not everyone chooses medium armor, knowing where this expensive set is, and being able to sell it is still good knowledge

    • @tonicus123
      @tonicus123 4 місяці тому

      @@PTMG you didn't read what I put as my 2 is an explanation of how to leave Seyda Neen without stealing at all. You'll have around 2k. And you didn't cover half of what I put there.
      I'll give you the second part, but medium is generally bad and my point was in the same minute you talked about selling it but also how you should go medium because of how easy it is to buy as you're selling the second best set. Medium is so meh they took it out entirely in later games. Maybe I'm hung up on the "best start for beginners and advanced" part but this is definitely not optimal for either.
      You were also wrong on the sign as The Warrior sign only increases chance to hit by 1% per point and is the worst sign you can get. You get more chance to hit by getting the Agility from The Lover than you get from The Warrior and get Lovers Kiss on top of it.

    • @PTMG
      @PTMG  4 місяці тому

      All that takes just about as much time, if not more time, than just grabbing a bunch of stuff on your way out of the office, and looting the armor in the warehouse, and ironically your method still involves stealing lmfao

    • @PTMG
      @PTMG  4 місяці тому

      Also btw agility hit rate/evasion rate percentage is agility/5 (divided by 5)
      Lover gives 25 agility, 25/5=5 so you gain 5% hit chance with lover, vs the 10% hit chance from warrior.
      And lovers kiss is pretty much useless. It's far too easy to get paralyze spells/scrolls/enchanted weapons, to justify damage fatigue to self for 200 points, especially when the main goal here is hit chance.

    10 fortify attack adds a flat 10% hit chance.
    Check Combat -> Chance to Hit on UESP
    It's not bad, but it doesn't add 10 damage to every combat hit.
    If you're a Wood Elf with:
    50 marksman: 5 base + 25 major skill + 5 specialization + 15 race
    50 agility: 50 base as a wood elf
    50 luck (40 base + 10 from Attribute bonus)
    And 10 attack from Warrior Sign
    You can start with 91.25% chance to hit with Marksmanship from the get go, assuming 100% fatigue
    Starting enemies will have between 5% and 15% evasion so you would have
    76.25% (91.25-15) chance to hit a regular humanoid
    and 86.25% (91.25-5) chance to hit a mudcrab which will feel pretty good.
    Going for 25 agility with the lover sign actually adds less chance to hit than 10 attack, and the 25 agility doesn't stack once you hit 100 agility because it adds 25 to your base, so you don't go to 125 with the lovers sign.
    You do benefit from agility in other ways though so it's probably still worth it to go lovers sign over warriors although if you want to maximize hit chance, warriors sign is the way to go.

    If you talk to Caius about blades trainers he will direct you to Hunter-Nine-Toes who gives you some Moon Sugar and tells you about people who buy it. You can also find the dead tax collector in Seyda Neen, the quest reward is 500g and the murderer has a decent ring that you can sell as well. Also a little ways out of town you'll find a dead wizard who has an enchanted sword, good for early daedra and undead.

    In Seyda Neen you can jump on top of a stump from the mill and find a 200g enchanted axe just sitting there. Also walk out of town to get the guy to fall from the sky. Boom extra few hundred gold. Also in Balmora join the thieves guild. Then go to the watch tower where the Sword of Woe is sitting on a wardrobe with a guard next to it. Slap the guard and run out and pay the thieves guild guy to make the fine go away. When you go back in, the guard that chased you is downstairs and you can take the sword. Few extra thousand right there.

    The warrior sign does not increase your damage in any way shape or form, it increases your chance to hit with every weapon by 10%

    Bro, in the Mages guild in Balmora is over 100k worth of soul gems. You pick the Shadow sign at the start of the game so you can go invisible. You can then force the NPC at the top of the stairs to turn their back to the table using a dialogue prompt. Then you stand on the table to grab the gems. To sell; teleport using the mages guild and sell and rebuy sleeping in 25hr intervals to the mud crap or scamp. You can then spend all the gold leveling at the fighters' guild and hit level 30 plus with gold to spare after all is said and done. This entire process takes maybe 30 minutes. I did this exact thing recently again on a play-through but first discovered this process ten-plus years ago as a kid.

    Best start in morrowind. Take alchemy as a major skill. Go north out of town to the "gift that falls from the sky". Sell it all. Buy the apprentice morter and pestle. Go to balmora. Get the 200 gold from Caius. Go to the Balmora temple. Buy wickwheat and marshmerrow until you run out of money. Make a ton of restore health potions. Go to caldera through mages guild. Go to gorak manor. Sell potions to creep cluster. No stealing necessary. Buy master alchemy stuff from Nelcarya in balmora. Repeat ad infinatum. Or do the intelligence glitch and completely break the game. Dont do that. Just dont.

      Nope
      Limeware platter, sell it
      Head straight to caldera, grab the "free" master alchemy set in the top of the tower at the mages guild there
      Spend all your money on I think luminous russela and ampoule pods or some shit (the two self restocking waterwalking ingredients the guy sells there)
      Make your potions
      Sell them to scamp trader
      Rinse and repeat

      lol you could just "borrow it" but you might have to use your imagination and RP a little bit
      buy the ingredients, go upstairs, pick them up just to make the potions, then set it all back down where you got it
      sell potions then buy the alchemy set from him when you can afford it
      especially if you are a member of the mages guild this doesn't feel that unreasonable

      @@PTMG I've come to find there are so many ways to make this game easier, it doesn't really matter. All it takes is a little knowledge and experience and the world is your oyster.
