Which stats for archers?

[Murat]

Hello i'm newbie for Morrowind. I created Marksman/Sneak character for playing as archer.

After level up, which stats i should raise? I have 3 points for per level.

Thanks for help!

For archers, you want Agility, Endurance, and Speed. However, leveling up your character and getting the most out of your character's class is much more involved than that. Since you're new to Morrowind, I'll give you a basic primer.

Every class in the game has 10 skills, and they're divided into Major and Minor skills, with five skills in each group. Every time one of those skills improves, it counts towards your level gain, and when there have been 10 improvements in those skills, you gain a level. The points you have to distribute are dependent upon the skills you've been using most heavily. Since different skills depend on different stats, you want to avoid depending too heavily on increasing any particular set of stats. Otherwise, it could end up crippling you in terms of character development. So I would advise you that at least one of your level-up selections should always be Agility, since Marksmanship depends on it, and archers need good Marksmanship.

Take the Lover birthsign for the agility boost and the powerful paralysis spell, train skills that's governing attribute is agility, make sure you have high or full fatigue before you start shooting. Agility and fatigue determine how likely you are to hit a target.

Some weapons can make your damage more consistent early on, such as crossbows, but later you're gonna want the high damage bows. Wood elves make excellent archers, and their beast tongue power is pretty fun to mess around with.

Don't try to optimise your character if you are a beginner with this game, just play the game.
Getting +5 in 2 or 3 attriubute each level leads to a boring gameplay.

However you should know that weapon damage scale with strengh, which is the most important attribute for bow (unintuitively). Using a melee weapon to increase your strenght early game is a good idea.

Agility improve hit rate but only marginaly. A maxed out weapon skill is enough for 100% hit.
Therefore agility is almost useless for ranged weapons, but is somewhat usefull for other things like evasion, discretion etc.

Endurance, speed and luck are important for any characters.

Gonna go against everyone here. As an Archer, your most valueble skill is Acrobatics. If you can jump to places nobody can get to, the only enemy you really fight is Time and your quiver capacity.
