    well, first off, whats your desired playstyle?

    *light armor=magic, medium armor=stamina, heavy armor=tank
    *depends on your build. though it doesn't hurt to have hp.
    *I would say its subjective. what do you want to do?
    *if you want to make money crafting, i would recomend alchemy or provisioning. consumables are always needed. it doesnt hurt to level up your crafting skills or have a crafting alt to upgrade bound items.
    *again, depends on what you want to do. fighters guild has the stamina options (though they are limited). mages guild has the majica ones, undaunted has the tank options. and even these are varied. i would say do em all, you will passivley level them as you play.
    This one has an eloquent and well thought out response to tha... Ooh sweetroll!

    Id like to play as a light knight, not tanking but dealing a lot of damage, but not spell focused too...
    Its hard to upgrade my crafting styles... Any tips?
    And what about a dark elf as nightblade?

    And what does 2h, dw, dk, morphing mean?
    Thanks

    And what about vampires and werewolves? Are they good?

    1) depends on what you want to do and for what functionality. Heavy gives the best armor, best damage mitigation passive. Medium gives dodge passives and good stamina bonuses.j
    2) again depends on what you want to do with your build and role.
    3) better at? PvP, pve, leveling? Endgame? It really is all about your build but in terms of fotm, Sorcs are great PvP while NBs are quite versatile in their roles.
    4) crafting is very robust in this game and technically you would want to craft most of your items, potions and enchantments. Even food.
    5) level up all the guild lines irregardless, opens up more options for you.

    Ok, well there are several things you can do.

    Medium armor will most likely suit you best. Now, be aware that you can combine different armor types. take a look at the armor passives. those are the benifits from wearing certain numbers of pieces. 5 pieces of any one type gives a good enough in most cases bonus. so you will see people use 5/2 or 5/1/1 combinations of armor. you can use 5 medium 2 heavy if you like. A dark elf can be a good nightblade.

    2h is two handed. these are your greatswords, mauls, and battle axes.
    dw is dual weild. using two single handed weapons. swords, hand axes, daggers, maces.
    DK is the dragonknight class. its a melee focus class with good aoe and self sustain. they make great pyromages as well as warriors.

    Morphing is part of skill progression. as you level them and they become stronger, they will level up. once they get to level 5 they give you the option to 'morph' them and give the ability an aditional effect. (you can also change some spells to use stamina at this point.)

    Warewolves and vampires can work well in a build. though their viability is somewhat debatable...

    As for crafting, they do take a bit to level. but at the very least you should start researching traits.

    Food wise I suggest doing it when u grab all the recipes and just gather the mats that are needed. Imo I gather the mats for only certain recipes that will help my character, eg health foods, max sta and mag, max Hp amd sta.. At least I dont have to gather every single thing.

    If you are on pc, I use the notebook addon to just type in what mats I need. I also do crafting writs so I have a chance to gather purple mats too.

    Hope this helps.

    Medium armor, but wear a piece of the other two to train them. Clothing and Alchemy or Provisioning. Join all NPC guilds (Fighters, Mages, Undaunted). Lycanthropy is always useful because you get passive stamina recovery bonus with no disadvantages while in human form.

    Hi!
    I have a few questions to ask you..

    -Medium or heavy armor?
    all types depending on role you'll play
    for magika DPS Heavy torso, med pants + 5 light
    for stamina DPS Heavy torso, light belt +5 med
    for tank light belt, med gloves + 5 heavy
    NB most optimal builds are stamina DPS or magika tank
    -Increase what at most? Magika, Health or stamina
    for stamina build - 0 to magika other between health and stamina for magika build vice versa
    as for proportion the more dps you want the more point you need in stamina or magika. (i prefer 1/3 or 1/2 h/* proprotion )
    -whats better, nightblade or sorcerer? I have a lvl 9 sorcerer and 4 nightblade that ive just created..
    they are different to compare
    -what i should craft? Weapons, armors, potions, wood things, clothes?
    all
    -what guild is better for nightblades leveling?
    if you mean guild skillines - all of them (may be you'll not need mageguild line with stamina NB)

    At least join the mages and fighters guild JUST for the intimidate/persuade perks, I would say those are must for fast questing ("intimidate this guy or spend 20 minutes on his quest so I can get back to main quest? Hmmm....").
