Save them until you identify places to spend them

You can respec points easily at any capitol city, and it's pretty cheap for lower levels to do. Use this time to experiment with different skills and morphs. If you've got everything you need that is unlocked for you, then just hold on to them until more become skills/morphs/passives become available.

Rethink deciding not to craft, you get alot of great stuff from high level writs. It's totally worth it!!

Thank you all for the replies I wish I could hit ya up but in Xbox NA @WldKarde

@Indigochild3rdi it's never too late to start crafting, or any other skill line for that matter. Do whatever you want to do if you feel like it.

There is no propper order in crafting. Just think about which skill would be most beneficial to you.

• Blacksmithing/Woodwork/Leatherwork: Improving your gear or getting new and better gear.
• Alchemy: Crafting strong potions and poisons.
• Provisioning: Crafting food to increase your max HP, Stamina and/or Magicka and drinks to increase these stats' regen.
• Enchanting: Adding bonus effects on your gear.

One thing is for certain: Crafting things yourself will give you items that are far more usefull than what you can buy from most NPC's, and if you look for the items yourself, it's pretty much free. And if you don't like searching for the ingredients, buy them from players. If you play it right, you still end up with better potions for a lower price.

@Indigochild3rdi Provisioning is the easiest to level up and is quite rewarding. You find food in barrels and buckets all over the place and can steal it as well. Blacksmithing / Clothier / Woodworking take a little longer but there's no reason you can't start now. Rather than sell all the junk gear you pick up, see if you can research any of it at the crafting stations and break it down if not. Eventually drop at least one skill point in the perk that makes resource nodes glow to make finding mats a little easier.

If you can find another player to trade off gear with and break down each others stuff you get a lot of xp. For example, if you craft 20 daggers and give them to someone and they craft 20 and give them to you, you will gain significantly more xp for breaking down someone else's gear than if you break down your own.

I appreciate the advice! Is there a certain trait I should look out for that is more beneficial than others? I'm an orc dragonknight tank. I'm probably going to peruse blacksmithing so I can make my own heavy armpit and 2h weapons. @Surragard

I think training would be good to help you level up faster initially but ultimately unless you're going to go to guild traders and buy gear with certain traits just to research it this will ultimately be determined by what you happen to pick up. Divines is generally sort after. I use a mix but I'm not a min/maxer. Eventually you may want to invest some skill points to make research go faster if you end up liking it as well.
