Morrowind experiences

All you need is Resist Magika (the higher the better) for sufficient time to put the boots on. I have a 60% for 2 seconds spell. It's expensive to cast, but it's a one-off. Once the boots are on, you continue to be able to see.

good tip, thanks... it seems I'll be making some spells tonight

Onefoot, yea, those cliff racer birds still attack when you're levitating, but they're a lot easier to dispose of when you're at their level (still have to be under them to hit them though). Everything can still attack you if you're close enough. I get Ordinators shooting fire balls at me all the time in Vivec.

Also, I have a pair of silk pants enchanted with 100% resist magic for like 3 seconds, so that I can put the boots on. I also have a helm with 22 points of nighteye in constant effect, so that it looks as if I never put the boots on.

The resist magic spell seems like an exploit, since you cast it once while you put the boots on and all, so if you want to play it straight there's a Curaiss of Saint's something that gives you 60% constant effect resist magika in Tel Fyr. There are also many many other artifacts with resist magika.

The boots absolutely do not effect fighting. I wear them all the time. And with my levitation ring, I do indeed float through caves and stuff, and I can't remember the last time I set foot on stairs. =)

To set the record straight, your ability scores CAN go over 100.

Your SKILLS, however, max out at 100. But they can also be boosted over 100 with magic items.

[Eroberer]

Oh. Well I can't get over 100 in strength. Can you tell me why that is? Any reason?

[Tuberski]

No reason I can think of, my speed right now is at 282 or something like that.

I thought I read that stats could go over 100, maybe I was mistaken.

[Eroberer]

You aren't wearing any speed increasing enchanted items?

I'll look into it again later I guess. I'm pretty sure that I read they can't go over 100.

[Tuberski]

You know what, now that I think about it...I cheated. made the bound items of zero duration and upped my stats that way, doesn't work with the patch, so maybe you are right.

[Eroberer]

heh, got ya.

edit: I'm watching a thoroughly disgusting "comic" on the comedy channel, and just kind of accidentally posted this message here. sorry!

[OneFootInTheGrave]

Well a correction - I got speed to 102 - that was 99+3, and when I upgraded it was 102 on the screen, but now when I got another level boost, it was 100 and with no ability to go up in this skill, so I guess that 102 is some minimalist bug that doesn't last long.

[loinburger]

I had the same thing with a Willpower of 98 and a +5 skill increase. My Willpower went up to 103, but immediately dropped to 100 when I checked my stats screen. The next time I levelled up it wasn't possible to increase my Willpower. Apparently, 100 is the max for stats (unless you magically fortify them). 100 is also the max for skills, but you can still train a maxed out skill; the skill doesn't increase, but at your next level-up you get the stat multiplier as if you had increased the skill.

[Eroberer]

I see what you all are talking about. I also realized that my character is essentially a Mage, and it's weird that my first maxed out skill is strength. That should show you what I spend most of my time on with this game.

[loinburger]

I've got four maxed out skills: Endurance, Intelligence, Willpower, and Personality. The other four are at about 75 or 80. (My only strength skill is Longblade, and I haven't really got any Agility or Speed skills since I use heavy armor all of the time. The only reason that Endurance is so high is because I put points into it every time I levelled up even if it didn't have a good multiplier, since I like having lots of hit points.) I maxed out Intelligence, Willpower, and Personality right off the bat (had two or three major/minor skills that relied on each), but that meant that the multipliers for my other skills were lousy. In hindsight, it's a good idea to substitute a few Athletics or Acrobatics type skills in place of some magery. Also, there's really no need to have both Speechcraft and Mercantile. (Everything's pretty damn cheap for me at the moment, but that just means that I've got more gold than I know what to do with. Speechcraft + Mercantile is overkill.)

[OneFootInTheGrave]

Ah well, I just maxed out speed - strength is the next in line. Loot/money/ I want that mule

Do you guy's have it and how does it work, slows you down? -

btw -I already have a resist magicka robe, so i tried -and now my ferrari boots drive in constant "evening " shade - just enough light to drive at night too

[Eroberer]

I found swimming in puddles during cave splunking to be hard, so that's why my spoiled character gets that night-eye helm. It's a Telvanni Cephalapod helmet, btw.

What are you talking about, this mule? I want one, too! I think...
