Enemies
Don't use fire, frost, or shock spells on Gnarls. If those are your primary attacks, switch it up. Alternate between any two elemental effects to do maximum damage.

Don't attack Grummites in the rain. Run.

Quests
In the Wizard's Lair, look for two out-of-place items in the basement. They can confer special blessings.

In the Vile Lair, the former owner left hidden bags of loot. Keep an eye out for them.

In Knights of the Nine, the armor and weapon stands will repair and recharge those items. 

In Mehrune's Razor, there is a secret wall by Frathen Drothan's desk. It has some special scrolls in it that will turn your gold and silver nuggets into coins.

The Golden Saint.

General Tips
The jails in The Shivering Isles are actually dungeons. Before starting out on a crime spree, go to the dungeon and drop a decent weapon and some armor there. When you get sent to jail, your supplies will be waiting for you.

As an archer, the Summon Skeleton spell will allow you to shoot arrows at it to raise your skill. The arrows bounce off it, and you can collect them to use again. Free skill points!

Stock up on restore fatigue potions to handle the Hungers in The Shivering Isles.

Keep an eye out for unusual variations of ingredients in The Shivering Isles. There's a person in town who will buy them.
