Maybe i was wrong about the manual thang. My bad. But i always like wads of lore in my game manuals and Morrowind's is sadly lacking. If no one's provided any info by the time i finish work, i'll sift through mine and post the bits that i think will be relevant to a newcomer. Don't have time to do it just now, sorry.
Anyway, about the levelling up thing:
Quote:
From the manual:
Increasing your level is dependant on improving the major and minor skills associated with your class. In order to raise a level, you must improve any combination of your major or minor skills by a total of 10 points.

You'll see a pop-up message box at the bottom of your screen whenever any of your major, minor or miscellaneous skills are raised during play.
Quote:
From the manual:
There are three ways to increase a skill.
1. Use it over and over. *
2. Buy training from another character. **
3. Learn more about the skill from special books. ***
|
* Your major and minor skills, being your characters specialty, will require less use to raise in this fashion.
** Not all characters offer training. You cannot train a skill above the
governing attribute of that skill. A skill's GA can be seen when passing the mouse over a skill in the character stats box. Right clicking the mouse will bring up your in-game menus. (Sorry if that's a little obvious...)
*** Whilst you're in Seyda Neen, check upstairs in the light house to find one of these "special" (meh) books. To read a book once it's in your inventory, drag and drop to your profile.
Oh, and "T" stands for Time AFAIK. Time isn't as important as it was in Daggerfall (ES:II) since all shops and services are available 24-7. But if you're a roleplayer, like me, (and i've an inkling you may be) you may want to schedule your day by the clock.
More after work...
