I like the angle of playing one, I just need to figure out how to make it convenient - ie any good places for eats (besides the blood room of the arena - I don't recommend it, tough crowd ) or even better, maybe a way to bottle some of the stuff.

Any and ALL advices would be greatly appreciated!
(even for things this fledgling may be encountering down the road)

Muahaha, er I mean thanks
Beggars are nice snacks. Waterfront district of the Imperial City around 8-11 pm has 2 bedrolls over near the thievs guild garden. A thief and a beggar sleep on those bedrolls during that time frame every day and there are no locks to pick to get to them. I frequentl dine on those gentlemen. Otherwise just stay in an inn or something till the evening then pick the locks of the other doors to find someone sleeping. Or break into a house. I've only been stuck having ahard time finding someone to eat and it the sun burning me once - and it was because fast traveling screwed up my schedule.

I thought it had to do with Novice, Apprentice, Journeyman, and Master...

For convenient vampire dining i recommend purchasing the shack in the waterfront distrcit. If daylight hurts you can run into your shack from whatever distance (keep casting heal as you run in the sun.... stay alive and level up restoration!) then since your shack is not trespassing you can use the wait command (the back button) or the bed to get to whatever time you need to feed on the beggars. If they aren't there and it is late there are plenty of people sleeping in houses in the Imperial City to make it a veritable buffet of blood types.

You have to kill the Will-o-wisp with a sliver dagger to get the dust to offer to the shrine.

My strength is supposed to be like 71 or 72 (cant remember exactly), but it says 69 in red on my stats page.....any ideas?

Ive tried cure poison potions and there is no limitations on my armor.

Frustrating that it doesnt tell you.

A couple of things I wanted to add. First I am retarded and just now figured out that if you are a journeyman in Marksman you can hold the L & R trigger buttons to zoom on the bow. And second Poison of Paralyze is the shit. I used it in the arena and wiped up in no time. When you hit your target the drop to the ground for the amount of time on the spell plus a few seconds for the drop/stand up animation. Now I just need to find where to buy, only place I know is at the Darkbrotherhood.

Make your own. That is why collecting herbs is good!

Oblivion = completed.

All 1,000 points. Total time 123.5 hours.

Still need to max out level and I still have some sidequests though.

My alchemy is not high enough and the ingredients are pretty rare for what I can make. I just make sure and hit the DB vendor every 72 hours.

Level it up Make whatever potions you can to increase it. There is also a spell i use that i bought in the DB that does 20 points frost damage and paralyzes for 3 seconds. As your alchemy increases the number of effects each item has also increases up to 4. Might be easier to find the parts then.

Just watch completing the DB storyline as it might interfere with your supply.

Best thing to do is buy or find all the ingredients you can. Make potions until you can't make any more. Then sell the potions that aren't useful. Rinse, lather, repeat.

Not only will you raise your alchemy skill by doing this. But by selling potions you make, you will be raising your mercantile skill.

And as Miyu said, without ruining anything. You might want to make sure you have alternate means of supplies and/or buy everything you want from that vendor before you progress the DB story too much further. Oh, and I hope you kept the Blade of Woe.. Make sure that is in your inventory when you complete the DB storyline.

It's a quest item that you can't drop. He should have no problems there.

If you want to increase your Alchemy, there's a farm outside Chorrel that has TONS of random things to pick up. Close to 90 grapes and many other fruits. I think I went up 5 or 6 levels in Alchemy just from what I picked there on one trip.

Actually the Blade of Woe is flagged a quest item and can't be removed from your inventory at all. I tried, out of curiousity.

The DB storyline is my fav of the 3 i have done so far.

Also, 153 hours.... man i had the game on spring break and haven't been able to come close to that. I'm actually going to be starting on the main storyline soon.... i don't want to do fighters guild yet and the mages re-admittance is irritatingly difficult.
