The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Hints

Wilderness Notes and Extras

  • 1 of 8: To get quickly between Balmora City and the Moonmoth Legion Fort, use the two intervention spells. Divine Intervention can get you from the city to the fort, and Almsivi Intervention can reverse the process. No need to trek through the wilderness!
  • 2 of 8: Right near the entrance to Shal is a large hollow tree stump with a barrel of ingredients in it. To get to it, you have to get up on top of the largest nearby rock and jump from there to the stump.
  • 3 of 8: Just north of Yasamsi is a trapped treasure chest next to a large green pond.
  • 4 of 8: When exploring the Unexplored Shipwreck, be sure to find the diamonds on the lower level, the moon sugar on the upper level, and the barrels and chest that are outside the wreck nearby.
  • 5 of 8: If you can handle the monsters in the Vassir-Didanat cave, you can raid the place for lots of valuable raw ebony. Simply find an ebony deposit on a cave wall or ceiling and treat it like a treasure chest. (Come with a light inventory, since raw ebony is very heavy.)
  • 6 of 8: In the Vassir-Didanat cave and other dark areas with monsters, it's always a good idea to have your favorite weapon and a torch available via quick keys. That way, you can quickly press 1 (or whatever) to ready your weapon if you stumble across a monster while exploring with your torch readied. Many areas have torches and lanterns available for you to take and use, especially the bandit caves.
  • 7 of 8: Velfred's ship has several different areas you can loot separately. Attacking the one guy in an area won't alert or anger anyone in another area. You can get lots of good stuff that way, including a bunch of raw ebony.
  • 8 of 8: In the Ashurnibibi Shrine, there's a small chest underwater just south of the big statue room. Included in the chest's contents is a key that will open a locked door in a watery tunnel past the big statue room. (However, there's nothing worthwhile past the door, so don't waste your time.)
