Two schools that I've NEVER bothered with, even though my characters are generally magic users. Does anyone bother with them? I'm specifically interested in if anyone actually uses alteration for the wards/mage defense that Bethesda tried to push.

I would like to welcome you into our clan; congratulations on being accepted into the RuneScape Rebelz! ____________ I. What's Required of You ____________ 1. Forum Activity As a member of TRR, it is your responsibility to periodically check up on the clan forums. This is important for many reasons, the least of which is so you can stay updated on clan news and important announcements. Many members choose to bookmark the forums - Forum Index - and simply check up on them quickly before or after logging into RuneScape. Posting on the forums is a necessary part of becoming involved with our clans community, and promotions are often based on how active clan members are on the forums. ____________ 2. In-Game Communication It might seem silly, I know; but you would be amazed at how many people join and then complain that they didn't ever know when an event was taking place. To prevent that and to get to know other members of the clan, staying active in our in-game friends AND clan chat is a must. Our clan chat is 'The Rebelz', and members are expected to be in it whenever they're on RuneScape. You are allowed to leave the chat in certain situations (e.g. checking up on a merchant chat, moving chats for an event, etc), but generally you should be in the clan chat while on RuneScape. ____________ 3. Other Tips Other great communication tools that can help your chances at a promotion greatly include IRC and Ventrilo. For information on clan channels, please click the 'Communication' drop-down menu in the news header. You can learn more about using IRC specifically in our guide. ____________ Quick Information Friends Chat: TheRebelz Clan Chat: The Rebelz IRC Channel: #Rebelz It's great to see you in TRR, we all look forward to getting to know you!

I usually just run around in the gear I made to increase my carry weight / fortify barter.

That's a good point to make. Generally, in my experience, as long as you don't power level multiple non-combat skills at once you will be fine. I personally did smithing and enchanting at the same time. Since those skills indirectly aid combat greatly (as sneak does) my combat effectiveness actually improved.But yeah, people definitely need to be wary of that point.

You could also try looking in the area around the Jarl and places like Markarth's dungeon/jail. Again, no guarantees since the only known location is ON a guard. I find it hard to believe that there wouldn't be a few left as normal items in Markarth though. Maybe the stores have some on display.

I'd imagine there would be leftover equipment in Markarth's guard tower. That's the first place you should look - check all of the clothes drawers and containers and what-not.Let us know if you find it there. If not, just reply back and we'll give more suggestions. I'm on my phone atm so sorry if this isn't the best answer.You should also consider creating an account here.
