Malchik Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I am trying to compile a list of ways to get skill increases other than through skill use or training. There are the skill books of course but I was referring to quest rewards and other gains. I have eight so far (see list) does anyone know of any more? Reward - Grey Prince's Training (Arena related Quest) Reward - Shadow Over Hackdirt from Seed Neeus (Chorrol quest) Reward - Rat Problem from Quill Weave or the quest giver depending on who you side with (First Anvil fighters guild quest) Reward - Keeping Baurus alive in the Sunken Sewers (if you talk to him once you have Mysterium Xarxes) Reward - Saving Jeelius the prisoner at Lake Arrius Caverns (in the Temple of the One Imperial City) Reward - Hermaeus Mora daedric quest Observation - watching the blades fight at Cloud Ruler Temple (+2 to Blade and Block) Observation - watching the hopefuls fight outside the Arena (+5 hand to hand) I think there are some I have forgotten.

m3lisk Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Dark Brotherhood quest- Night Mother's Gift, +2 to agilty, speed, and something else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povuholo Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Observation - watching the blades fight at Cloud Ruler Temple (+2 to Blade and Block) Observation - watching the hopefuls fight outside the Arena (+5 hand to hand) I knew there was something like that, but how does it work? Do you just have to look at them, and for how long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 Yes, you watch them for maybe two minutes. You'll get a great big screen telling you of the increases and it won't go away until you respond, so you can make a cup of tea while you are waiting. BTW they have a non-random and powerful magical item in their arena chest as well as a skill book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice there are still a few things that aren't random or leveled... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhydderch Hael Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Word of warning to anyone playing an unpatched version of the game straight out of the box: it's been noted that certain of these incidents will cause a bug where the respective skills cannot be raised by normal play once they've been boosted by these means. For example, observing the Blades sparring at Cloud Ruler will cause your Blade and Block skills to freeze once you receive the +2 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my character stand there in the lamplight and watch them for several minutes, but there were no skill increases like the ones described above. So, that instance doesn't count. By the way, I wasn't watching this in order to get a possible skill increase. The scene simply reminded me of my college days. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
