Have you bought Balyna's Soothing Balm or whatever? That can raise your Restoration skill quite a bit, given some time.

the best solution for magicka regen is to take a breton with the atronach birthsign and conjuration. you start with summon ancestor ghost spell which attacks with a ghost curse that you can easily absorb or brush off with the breton's inate magic resistance. spell absorption takes precedence so it will either get absorbed, reduced or ignored, in that order. just summon and attack your summons with fists until it becomes hostile, then absorb its magic attacks. heal as needed. it's also a good way to train armor skills since the summons only lasts for a minute while training conjuration. magicka regen on command. never need to rest.

I think you should add this guide how to bring back inventory, magick and stat windows if you close them, since it is common problem.

Is there any point to the Axe and Blunt skills other than RP? I am unsure what weapon skills to take, but ...all...well, most of the legendary weapons are Long Blade, so I find it hard to take anything but Long blade...

I'll second what duruza posted. while not immediately obvious, blunt is one of the weapon skills I always take right next to long blade. blunt helps faction rank adancement among Fighters Guild, Imperial Cult, Imperial Legion and Tribunal Temple.

beside the artifacts like the Mace of Molag Bal, Scourge and Skull Crusher, not to mention Sunder, there are a number of non-artifact blunt weapons that are desireable, including Veloth's Judgement. the sixth house bell hammer is one of the easiest high damage blunt weapons to attain early on at low levels and the ebony staff has the highest enchantment value of any other weapon in the game right next to the ebony scimitar one-hand long blade if you have tribunal expansion installed.

axe doesn't provide quite as many options, but the bound axe spell summons a zero weight daedric battle axe that also automatically buffs your axe skill by ten points and is likewise one of the highest base damage weapons available early on. bound weapons specifically, and conjuration in general, are a great way to simultaneously train several armor, weapon and magic skills.

I've only recently got into playing Morrowind and i'm wondering how much you need to efficiently level? As i'm leveling just now i'm only getting 2x or 3x multipliers. I know in oblivion it was important as the enemies leveled with you but i'm worried i'll run into problems towards the end of the main quests.
My character just now has:-

Strength - 62
intelligence - 43
willpower - 30
agility - 71
speed -92
endurance -42

initially I put a lot into speed..... i like to be able to out run things if i get into trouble. But i've realised that i'm going to run into trouble against spellcaster with my willpower so low......

what quests are good to do for level 11 characters? and can anyone suggest ways to improve or make the best of my character just now?

Thanks

Well, in Morrowind, the enemies don't level up with you (most of the time), so you don't have to worry about efficiently leveling as much as Oblivion. So what kind of character are you playing right now?

I'm currently a bosmer, I'm using a mix of long blade, bow and spear, not much of a magic user which is why my willpower is so low. I figure if I can get my agility high enough I should be good in melee and the spear is a weapon I didn't know much about as I played oblivion and skyrim first but its fast becoming my favourite to keep my distance. got a dwemer spear just now not sure where to find better ones for my level yet.

I'm glad I downloaded the overhaul mod as it brings the graphics to a good level which may be superficial but it helps to like what I'm looking at lol

Well, I would advise getting your Endurance up, as it determines your maximum health and fatigue, so you increase your health and fatigue, and, well, since Spear is it'll be easier. Also, I would concur on agility, too.

I'm just wondering which quests to do, I know I can only join one house so I'm undecided which one, and also when to do it as I've heard it can clash with the main quest? I like my character to be an honourable warrior type, so which house would best match that looking at it briefly I'm thinking redoran but I'm not sure.

the guilds are also something I'm unsure of, I've done a few mini quests for the fighters guild but nothing major. is it best to complete the main quest before the guilds and houses?

In my opinion, a honourable warrior belongs in House Redoran, because, well, they are honourable warriors as well. I don't think it matters if you do the guilds first, then the main quest, etc, the only thing I would be careful about is when you do the main quest when you want to advance to Grandmaster or something in a House. I've heard that can prevent you from becoming that, I don't know.

I'm sure I'll find out when I get that far, it'll take a while though cos I like to run around a lot and take my time, it was the same in oblivion I think I was about level 20 before I actually started the main guilds and main quest, everything before that was just the random wilderness quests and small ones in towns.

Abuse trainers to boost your spear skill. Why? Endurance and you can now actually hit stuff.

where are good trainers for spear? I found the one in Balmora fighters guild

Hmm, I've actually never used spears before (though I've had it trained it often for mentioned reasons)...

That's something for my to-do list next month
