I've been playing for about three weeks and some things are still pretty unclear to me.
1a) Do mobs always scale to my level no matter where I go? It seems to be the case, and I've never seen anything like this. I'm used to outleveling certain areas and being able to freely travel around without stuff trying to munch on my ass all the time, so this is pretty new to me.
I read about the One Tamriel update, but then some zones are being described as "players are scaled to the level of content" on UESP. I don't know what to make of that.
1b) Another one about scaling. How does it work when there is mixture of lvl x-50 players in a dungeon, and everyone is whacking the same mobs?
Actually, how exactly the scaling works? What scales to what?
2) I think I read that you get less than the item's value when selling stolen items at fences, but that doesn't seem to be happening. Is this normal?
3) I get 99% of my information from UESP, and I am confused about raw materials. It says various ores are to be found in different zones of x tier and battle levelled something, BUT then I also read about this One Tamriel thing when everything got scaled according to level at that point. How does it work then?
4) Where can I find racial stones for crafting in useable numbers? They are pretty expensive to buy.
5) Are alchemy materials really so rare or am I farming in the wrong zones? I have like over 1000 iron ingots, jute, hides and whatever, and yet only like 5 pieces of certain mushroom or herbs after two weeks of almost nonstop playing.
