How far west should i go until i have to turn south ? Ria said go west then south to get to the gate thing.

Ok i read on uesp and i have to go south then west. on my arena she says west then south. must be a glitch or something.

I would advise against heading directly for the exit. The starting dungeon in Arena was designed to level your character once or twice. Explore to your heart's content and find all the loot. Unlike newer TES games, and even Daggerfall, Arena is really a difficult game to make money in, but dungeons are the exception. Get as much out of it as you can.

I agree with StoneFrog; explore the dungeon entirely. It's only going to get harder from there.

Btw what can and can't a spellsword wear as in armor ?

I'm pretty sure it's everything up to and including chain mail, which isn't a lot.

Spellswords can wear any armor except plate, which is all the good colorful stuff. Iow, your best armor is chain but you can wear leather.
