To level up efficiently in Daggerfall, you need to understand how skill gains work. Skills increase through repeated use. Primary skills gain faster, followed by major, then minor skills. To maximize gains, focus on using your primary and major skills as much as possible. For combat skills, constantly engage in fights. For magic skills, cast spells frequently, even if it's just a cheap 'Light' spell in a safe area. Non-combat skills like Lockpicking or Stealth can be practiced repeatedly. You can also pay trainers in guilds to increase your skills, but this can be expensive. Some players create custom classes with specific primary skills they want to level quickly. Remember that skill gains contribute to your character's overall level progression, so consistent practice is key.
