I'm new, and just got Xbox Morrowind...

Ok, I know the basic functions of the game, but how in the hell do I level up? I'm still in the main town that I started in, and I am busy killing Mudcrabs and the worm things. What do I do to level up. Also, I read that I can pickpocket, is this true? If so, how?

Sorry if I'm such a dumbass!!
Thanks in advance.

I would've thought they would have included how to level in the manual...

I know that if you say, put your cursor over your level in MW it'll show some info about it etc.

Btw: PC > Console (Yes that was neccesary)

First up, X-Box's are shit.

To level up you have to train 10 of your major or minor skills up and then sleep for 24 hours in a bed. (You can level up any 10 skills. You can do the same skill 10 times if you like or any different skills as long as there are 10.)

To pick-pockets you normally hold down control but seeings you're using a console I don't know.

Like Tuco said, it should be in the manual. Go read that.

You only have to rest, it doesn't have to be 24 hours, Hoka.

And it doesn't have to be in a bed either.

Plus, unlike other RPG's, Power leveling doesn't really work in Morrowind. It somestimes takes a while to get your first level ups. But Hoka is spot on about how it works, you just have to be patient!

On a console, you hold down the "Sneak" key, LOL. Whatever THAT is. I'd guess one of the triggers, although wait.. that would make sense! So that's probably NOT it.

JB: it basically takes time, and improving your "major" skills. Someone else put a note in here that if you hover your cursor (there IS a cursor in the XBox version, I hope!) over your level, you'll get some popup info. In addition, doing it over your various skills will show you how far along advancing you are, and how far you have to go.

Hope this helps in a teeny way.

Ok, I've played te gamefor about 10 hours... delivered the package at about 5 an havn't touch the main plot yet, a the beginning I don't feel leeing up is what you should worry about ince the creature you'll be fighting mostly areat around you level always, what you should worry abot is getting the rightweapos and armor and lots of money and tis ismy advice on hat to do right hen you get started.

[SPOILER]1. First of after leaving the COuncil and Exicse office, go to the end of town, and across from fargoth's house a house of some dark elf that starts with D, go in his house and slice him up.[/SPOILER]

[SPOILER]2. I guess you'll want to get out and put on his robes, steall all the stuff you can, use the lockpick you got at the beggining to pick the chest next to the door, it will get you beter lockpick.[/SPOILER]

[SPOILER]3. Then head out and take the stilt rider to Balmora, as you enter town go to the pawnshop and sell all the good you stole that you don't want.[/SPOILER]

[SPOILER]4. Now head over around town spend some of you cash, stick with weapons and armor that go with your class, or the start will be hard. And since you here deliver the package.[/SPOILER]
