Okay well I am a 49th level archer and have all my major skills maxed to master aka 100. I am working on my minor skills right now to level up but it is taking forever. Even when I get close to mastering a minor skill the to next level indicator barely moves. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can level faster?? I am hoping to at least reach 50 before closing the final oblivion gate and starting shivering isles. Or will shivering isles help me level faster? Should I start shivering isles and leave the final gate open for now? Thanks for your input on this matter. _________________________________________________________

Hi,
I forget what level I am, but it does take forever to up level the higher you get. It also seems to me that the leveling up will stop. I do not believe minor skills crease the main character level. At least I have not witnessed this.
The Shivering Isles is cool. I really did enjoy them. I completed them 100%. Quite frankly, your level is not a big deal there. I am like super man and only in the level somewhere around the level 35. Nothing but 50 foes at once can hurt me. A powerful weapon is the key.
If you are an Archer mainly, I can see where it gets a little more tricky, if your surrounded. So try and build another weapon skill for the times being an archer is hard.
I say go ahead and do the Shivering Isles. Its a blast!. Plus you will acquire more experience. Save the big bad Oblivion Gate for last. That's what would do. Have fun man however you play it! _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!

Thanks tweaked for responding so quickly I think I will take your advice but first I am going to finish the mage quests and then shivering isles. Thanks again for the input. _________________________________________________________

Hey do you know if the main character level increases at all from minor skills?
If so I will be happy. _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!
Sorry to say but your main level ONLY increases from major skills, however your minor skills will give you a modifiers on stat upgrades each time you level up. (for example strength) But 49 is probably the highest your going to hit rebelcharm, it takes A LOT of planning to get higher though and I would be very proud with 49 (my highest is around 20)
for a way to plan out a high level character, or to see how high you can get yours enter some stuff into this
Thanks guys for all the info. I am working on the mage's quest and then it is off to shivering isles and order of the nine. _________________________________________________________

A cool item for you at shivering.... If I remember correctly. There is a shop there that a woman runs, its more of a museum, she has all kinds of artifacts in glass cases, I started going threw the cases ( stealing ) and found a ring, if you put the ring on it will allow you to both walk on water and breath underwater. Handy for skin diving for those underwater ingredients and taking shortcuts. you basicly walk on water, and if you move forward and look down you will start to swim then dive, look up to surface and go back to walking on water.
I assume you know how to do the duplication using scrolls and the trick to store all your items inside your horse?

I don't know how to do the store all your stuff in the horse thing. How do you go about doing that? _________________________________________________________
