WarKirby3333 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 hi everyone. I'm wondering if anyone would know about how various skills level. vaguely, we know that "skills level as you use them" but what does this mean specifically? In oblivion it was rather stupidly based solely on the frequency of the action, so someone using a knife would level up far faster than someone with a greatsword, because they took more hits to kill things. Has anything changed? if the uesp wiki is anything to go by, yes. Advice for training alteration skill:With both hands, continually cast the highest level Alteration armor spell for which you have the skill and perk to cast at half cost (of Oak Flesh, Stone Flesh, Iron Flesh, or Ebony Flesh) until your magicka is depleted. Casting the higher-level spells progresses the skill faster (Oak < Stone < Iron < Ebony) This advice would seem to indicate that alteration levels based on which spells you cast, not just the number of them.but how about others? Does anyone know about the following skills: Light/heavy armor: are they based on the amount of damage you take, or only on the number of hits? also is the rate of levelling affected by how many pieces of the appropriate type you're wearing? 1handed/2handed/archery: do these level up purely on number of attacks? or total damage dealt ? alchemy: is it a flat rate per potion? or do various ingredients give more or less xp when used? any knowledge of a similar nature, please do share!

PavelkCZ Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I can only talk about Alchemy. As far as I can say, there is no difference between mixing two or three ingredients or mixing different potions, when it comes to skill advance per one potion.

Demoquin Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I believe i saw on Alchemy, you receive more XP for a potion that has a greater price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarKirby3333 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 it does seem that alchemy is variable. the wiki seems to support the notion of it being based on price\ i wonder if that's all though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
