Morph respecs due to changes vs abilities progress lost

sylvy_gene

I'll live with the CP system changes, I'll deal with the sustain issues, I'll adapt my combat play style (re: light/heavy attacks) and relearn a rotation but Im having a hard time with the progress lost as I NEEDED to respec TWO morphs cuz of the said changes! Im C694 and never had to respec my morphs till today. I know that in a previous patch, abilities swapped places... like Poison Arrow vs Snipe. I had the Poison Arrow morphed into Venom Arrow (maxed out) for ages, it was my only ranged interrupt ability! I heard, and now can confirm, that leveling skills takes longer with Morrowind... before, we could just slot an ability and level it. Not anymore eh? We need to ''really'' use it right? We get more xp only when turning in quests now or no?... not sure how it works tbh. I need clarifications cuz I tried and spent 1 hour today, killing trash mobs, and barely got 1 level on both skills. Concerning Poison Arrow, it isnt an ability that I use constantly, its situational... so its gonna take forever to get it back to where it was, and more importantly to get the ranged interrupt back on my bow bar!

Would appreciate explanations OR if you guys could consider doing something about the new slow paste leveling (after remorph) OR ideally, give back the progress lost to high level players!

Thanks in advance!

Nothing about leveling skills was changed besides how low level players unlock the lines. The xp goes to whatever skills you have up when you earn it. Also, keep in mind that enlightenment bonus doesn't apply to skill leveling.

No progress was lost, you just haven't leveled those morphs. If you ever morph back, the skills will still be capped.

If you're on PC, I'd suggest the Improved Skill Windows addon, as it will let you see the actual amount of experience needed to level a skill.

The higher up in the skill line a skill is, the slower it progresses, even more so with morphs.

This has always been the case.

Have a 'training bar' with all skills you're still leveling and use it when you turn in large XP quests like dailies, pledges, major map icons.

While the level IV of a skill is better, the lower level version still work. They'll level up as you use them (or at have them on your bar). Don't get caught up in needing them to be maxed unless you're truly wanting to grind them out.

Getting them to the morph point is the main thing. Maxing the morph is secondary.

Are you sure about that? I usually save Enlightment to level skills in Skyreach but never thought it didn't apply...

This isn't a Morrowind thing. I'm playing on Xbox 1 and I decided to respec some skill morphs on one toon last week.

It all went well apart from the bow skill line which seems to be messed up due to swapping the order of the skills that happened a few updates ago.

I had morphed poison arrow to poison injection and it was a maxed skill. But when I respecced my morphs it had reverted to Poison arrow level 1 and unmorphable. So now I have to go and level a skill I had already levelled. Most annoying but not a huge deal. I'll just get on with it.

Only really mentioning it because it appears from op that this isn't something that has just happened to one person.

Enlightenment does not apply to skills, it is only for CP gains, which is separate from exp for skills and 1-50 levels.
