Daggerfall talk:Leveling and Skills

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

do the tags after each hint still need to be there? This is from the old site, but I'm not sure if I should delete these. --Werdnanoslen 08:00, 10 September 2006 (EDT)

UESPWiki:Spelling says we ought to be using the US version of "leveling," so can we move this page to a properly-titled article? I mean, leve a redirect here, but.. .Somercy 12:53, 8 March 2007 (EST)

FYI, anyone can rename a page. Just click on the "move" tab at the top of the page. It automatically creates a redirect page at the old page name. It took me a few months to figure out how to rename pages, too ;) --Nephele 15:46, 14 March 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Advancement Pitfalls

I'd just edit this in directly somewhere, but don't have a Daggerfall install handy for fact-checking, and it has been a while since I've played. I don't see any reference in the unofficial or official FAQs on the wiki.

I'm fairly certain that mastery actually happens when you'd hit 101% of a skill. You can sit on 100% all day with relative safety, but when you use it enough to trigger another point of advancement, you'll get the mastery message next time instead.

Second, since advancement includes both skill and level advancement, it should be made clearer exactly what mastery caps.

Also, as can be the case even under Oblivion, it's not wise to level up with maxed-out stats, as it creates a situation where you can't exit a screen without applying all your stat boosts and find yourself unable to apply them.

To quote from patch 212:

You can now exit the level advancement screen when all of your attributes are at 100.

This alt.games.daggerfall discussion hints at a number of things, including, apparently, circumventing the mastery-imposed cap via enchantments.

I didnt want to edit the info page about levelling myself bcos im new to wiki, but you CAN make practise spells that train 3 schools at once. I used to do it all the time. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 79.67.123.0 (talk • contribs).

If you have the data, then we do invite you to edit the page content. It would be preferable if you were to create a login in this august forum (did you know the plural of "forum" is "fora", not "forums"?), but we would appreciate an accurate edit by anyone, anonymous or named. Don't worry if you think you might lack the elegance of a skilled writer; we have a man who knows his grammer so just the facts and figures will suffice. --Uniblab 01:04, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

Note: Playing Daggerfall patched to version 213, the level-advancement-relevant skills (three primary, highest two major, highest minor) should mention that this is not highest in placement on the list but the skills with the highest value, this is an important point for someone trying to avoid advancing the difficulty to a point they get smashed by critters they are unequipped for. ---Anon

[edit] Mastering a skill

What is the point of this paragraph? All it says is something along the line of "you may or not get following message". That's a little scarce. What is the result of this little message "Master of skill X"? Do you get a title? Do people recognize you as a Master? Anything? Does anyone know something more concrete about it, otherwise it just seems like another buggy feature... -85.179.216.102 20:53, 7 August 2008 (EDT)
