You'll want to buy a lot of spells, but then create your own spells that are a lot more useful/fun.

(If my next mission is in Caldera, and even if I recall to Ald Ruhn, I'm only a Mages guild travel away). I mark/recall inside a mages guild because it puts me close to quality trading and travel. Activate it, 25 monies, 'Restore Attributes' and you'll get a good amount of magicka. It's downstairs, someone is standing behind it. There's an Imperial Cult Shrine in the Ald Ruhn mages guild that will restore your magicka.

Occasionally it gets more difficult than that, but only for very large mods. Then, when you open up the Morrowind launcher, select the Data Files option and check the names of the mod files you want to enable. Unzip the folder and insert everything into the identically named folder of your game directory. The magicka potions you will get from properly looting everything total 2500 points of Magicka restoration, which should last you a long time.Īs for installing mods, it's pretty easy. You might have to make multiple trips and set some down, but it gets you a lot of starting equipment, and enough banana helmets to last a week of Tarhiel impressions. If you want to spend a little bit of money, you can use the teleporter services in the Mage guilds to visit every hall for the Mage and Fighters' Guilds to collect all of their potions. These contain ammunition, potions, soul gems, and merchant fodder. If you join the Mage and Fighters' Guilds, you are granted access to their supply chests. Balmora is one of the greatest hubs of content in the game, and you will find at least one faction you will want to start out with (probably the Mages' Guild). I highly recommend taking at least one weapon skill in case of enemies you can't crack with magic or for when you run out of magicka.įrom Seyda Neen, I'd say ride the Silt Strider to get to Balmora. Or you can just take short naps before doing anything. Stay aware of your surroundings, make sure you will have space after you run out of magicka, and take a nice long nap after every fight. Whenever I play a mage, my character is pretty sleepy for a good portion of the game.
