i leveled my tank using one handed and shield skills for killing all the mobs. never thought about switching to other weapons to make it go faster. so reaching v12 took me a while.

Getting your first undaunted quest where you have to inspect Spindleclutch or something along those lines (Daggerfall Covenant). You go there thinking it's just some normal quest and get absolutely fudged, leave the area with your tail between your legs and swearing to yourself you'll never set foot in there again

I carried around a resto staff on my back bar to level it for Mutagen for future pvp (which oddly enough I have never actually used in pvp). In town one day some guy started jumping around me spamming staff attacks, so I figured I'd play with him and give him some heals from my resto staff.

That was the day I discovered that clicking with a resto staff doesn't actually heal people and that turning on "Prevent Attacking Innocents" is a good idea.
