The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Hints

Where can I find great treasure near the beginning of the game?

  • 1 of 10: The first thing you should concentrate on after starting the game is making money and buying training for your major and minor skills so you can level up quickly. Remember to sell all the stuff you can to Creeper in Ghorak Manor. See the following links for more info on training and on Creeper.
  • 2 of 10: Once you're at level 10 or so, you'll want to immediately go for two of the game's greatest artifacts, both of which are in the Vivec region.
  • 3 of 10: The Amulet of Shadows that you can get on a simple little misc. quest is a very useful item for when you're trying to sneak around and steal stuff or duck combat. Be sure to get it early (maybe even before you're level 10).
  • 4 of 10: Another terrific misc. quest item is the Boots of Blinding Speed.
  • 5 of 10: After that, your next major target should be the Great House vaults in Vivec. They have tons of treasure which can sponsor a great deal of skill training and leveling up.
  • 6 of 10: Another great place you can loot as soon as you have some Ekash scrolls is Tel Fyr, which is south of the town of Tel Aruhn. Make sure you have at least two Ekash scrolls as well as something you can cast Levitate with repeatedly.
  • 7 of 10: Once you're fairly high-level, you can get some cool Daedric gear by using the following info:
  • 8 of 10: You can sometimes get random Daedric-quality stuff from Dremoras and Golden Saints. You can find them hanging around both outside and inside the many Daedric shrines in the game. A cool note is that the random, level-dependent Daedra guardians at shrines regenerate whenever you leave the area and reenter (as long as you dispose of their corpses). You could kill all the guardians outside a shrine, enter the shrine and kill all the ones inside, go back outside and kill the next batch that appears out there, etc.
  • 9 of 10: You wanna know what the very best weapon in the entire game is? It's the enchanted Daedric dagger called the Black Hands Dagger. You get it by finishing Eno Hlaalu's special duties for the Morag Tong faction. It's the best because of its incredible Absorb Health effect. After just one slash from it, most enemies will go down in under 30 seconds. Also, while their health is being drained, yours is being replenished! So go find Hlaalu and finish his quests ASAP! (In the meantime, you could enchant a comparable weapon using my enchanting tips.)
  • 10 of 10: Be sure to always read all of the non-quest questions and the "Notes and Extras" section for each region you visit. Lots of good stuff not mentioned here will be there.
