Starting the Game:

First get the patch

Daggerfall v2.13 patch
(1.04 Mb)
Bethesda Softworks

After you install the patch read on.

Many people have said to get a walkthrough for the first dungeon but I would
have to say not to. You will never learn how to fight correctly or how to
dungeon crawl. Do take the tutorial that is given. Daggerfall is a very easy
game to learn so take a little bit of time to learn it before you try to
become a career Thief (thats what I play).

Then explore the bigger cities like Daggerfall and Wayrest.
Look at the different things to do like Guilds and shops.
Depending on you character you will take different paths at this point.

Improve and Gain Levels:

Do quests for guilds and gain ranks among the guilds.
Each guild has something very neat when you become a High Rank

Unzip into you Arena2 folder

We have all played games like Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger
and know how time consuming gaining levels are but
think back to how much better it was after you did it.
Same with Daggerfall. When you gain levels you get better
stuff and become way higher in guilds and in Tamriel.

To raise your level, make some spells with lowest cost in
Mage's guild (the spells you need to practice in your Primary
and Major skill), than go out of the city. Cast your spells many
times, sleep, attack monsters, take their weapons and armors,
repeat the process. After a few days, you can have very high
magic skill and attack skill, with many things to sell! And your level
will get higher and higher.

The formula for gaining levels is:

Tricks

If you find that many of you spells are failing when you use them
then it is because many of your spells are multiplied by you level
so increasing you level will improve your chances.

Casting recall/teleport where you get your quest can make it
a lot easier to finish a quest or to get out of a dungeon quicker.

If a door is locked and you cant get into it with lockpicking or the
Open spell just bash it down with you weapon. Dont do this in the day
when a door is locked in town unless you fell you can fight and army
of guards. Which may be fun to do.
